Tranmere sack manager!!

[HetzkeBlaster]

Wow, something’s gone on there!!!!

Club statement from Tranmere FC webpage

Tranmere Rovers Football Club can today confirm Keith Hill has been relieved of his duties as first team manager with immediate effect.

Chairman Mark Palios said: “Despite success achieved on the pitch in the form of securing a place in the Play-Offs and reaching the Papa John’s Trophy final, in the Play-Offs an entire season gets distilled into two or three games.

“I have to do what I think gives us the best chance of achieving promotion in those games and I have reluctantly come to the conclusion that means making the change before the semi-finals begin.”

Ian Dawes will take charge for the Play-Offs and will be assisted by Andy Parkinson

Ex-Blackpool coach taking charge

Keith Hill apparently giving off very negative signals after their last game ...

 

[Tangojoe]

Looks like a bust up with the boss Mark Palios

 

[Ockers]

Keith Hill is a horrible arrogant prick of a man. My mate knows him and disposed him

Comes across on the TV as an ever so nice fella from a working background etc

 

[Simonized]

He isn't normal by a lot of standards and i am not surprised.

 

[Insider]

They were alot of rumours around BFC about how influential Speo was in the dressing rumour and in training. No idea if that's true but you could put 2 and 2 together and come to a conclusion about why Critchy didn't bust a gut to keep him. Just pure speculation on my part.
Speo is doing his coaching badges which suggests he's looking for a career in management.

Not a great double act, Palios managed to fall out with the entire England squad and rumours of big arguments between Hill, Spearing and Vaughan.

Didn't see that coming though noticed their results tail off a bit after the pizza cup final. Wonder if that's been influenced by player power. Lot of experience in their team with Clarke, Spearing and Vaughan.

And Feeney.

What's the odds on Peter Clarke taking over temporarily?

And Feeney.

True. Can't overlook him, just in case he ends up with an extra year!

Joe Murphy and David Nugent there as well when you look at their squad list. Thought they'd retired.

David Nugent retired 6 years ago...he just didn't tell anyone and kept taking the money...

He'll just slide in to team meetings a bit too late after going to the wrong room.

Not saying he’s old, but he’s only had one shot this season and that was a Pfizer.

He's 39 y.o. going on 40.
Also has had a full season at Tranmere. Maybe that's why they're going down.
Great player for Pool though.

 

[Lewis_Winthorpe]

2 wins in 11, won't make the play off final. If the season had gone on another week they'd be out of the play offs.

Still a strange time to sack him

Having heard him do the commentary on Sunday, the players would be comatose before they got on the pitch!
