What is it with clubs sacking managers so early into the season? I just took a quick look on the BBC Website, Sports Section and noticed that Colchester United and Port Vale both sacked their manager, couple that with Cheltenham a couple of weeks ago, it made me wonder. Why do they do it so early in the season?

Port Vale are 16th in League Two but had financial worries last year, luckily for them they escaped filling for bankruptcy and were relegated. At the moment they have amassed 7 points from a possible 21, despite this you can't sack a manager that early in my opinion. Clubs need time to gel , i remember when Carlisle where bottom of League Two a while ago but stuck by their manager and ended up promoted. Why sack them so soon?

Anyone have any thoughts on sacking managers so soon?

Chairmen demand instant results nowadays. With the amount of money that is pumped into football, taking your time really isn't an option even though it is clearly needed.

If there is one thing Posh do get right the majority of the time, it's giving managers the time they need. Darren Ferguson didn't start off in the most spectacular way but he was given his time and it got us promoted. He's going through a rough patch currently so it'll be interesting to see what MacAnthony does.

I don't get it to be honest. Even sacking a manager around Christmas time I don't get, because it's extremely difficult for a manager to come in halfway through a season and turn things around. Biggest problem is having people that don't know football calling the shots, really.

it doesnt make sense.
its one of the things that aggravates me so much about modern football.

I find it really quite stupid sacking managers half way through the season without a permanent replacement lined up. Surly the current manager would be able to do a better job than the caretaker manager.
