Scottish Football Sack Race 2014


Recommended Posts

Stenhousemuir's Martyn Corrigan is the latest man to fall.

http://www.stenhousemuirfc.com/news/2014/01/21/1030/

Their link states they have agreed to part company which under the rules of the competition comes under "Sacked". So with points and bonuses added the latest leader board is:1st= DBA: 139

1st= smpar: 139

3rd NE63 Exile: 125

4th Quitongo's Left Peg: 114

5th= mid-table: 97

20th= Booitsme7: 14

20th= Arbrboathlegend36-0: 14

33rd= The Field: 0

Some wee gaps starting to open up. Honestly never thought we'd have 3 fallers so early; makes for a better competition though!

Edited to add: Missed out Desp, have updated the standings

Elgin's Ross Jack is the 4th managerial casualty of the year:

http://elgincity.co.uk/?p=1349

This makes for a much changed leader-board with an out-and-out leader for the first time!

The standings are as follows:

1st DBA: 182

2nd NE63 Exile: 143

3rd SuperMoMan: 140

4th smpar: 139

5th Chris_The_Rover: 126

6th Quitongo's Left Peg: 114

7th= wisbit: 99

7th= Craigkillie: 99

9th= mid-table: 97

9th= Sevinnil: 97

9th= BerwickMad: 97

9th= Albino Rover: 97

9th= Kyle: 97

9th= EindhovenDee: 97

9th= Compliment Sandwich: 97

16th Bullyweeclyde: 90

17th itzdrk: 85

18th= Berwick-the-unbeatable: 57

18th= meanmistermustard: 57

18th= Bold Rover: 57

18th= Arbroathlegend36-0: 57

22nd Callum-Ayr: 56

23rd= fafc1885: 32

23rd= Southside Hibee: 32

25th desp: 17

26th= Mighty Meadow: 14

26th= SFC1884: 14

26th= Iceblink: 14

26th= Broony88: 14

26th= Marshmallo: 14

26th= Realmadrid: 14

26th= Booitsme7: 14

33rd= The Field: 0

So a completely split top 6 and 5 players still yet to score, and we're not even a month into the thing.

Who will be the next to go?

So everyone's favourite panto villain John "Bomber" Brown has parted company with Dundee:



http://www.dundeefc.co.uk/news_detail.asp?newsid=3514

1st SuperMoMan: 195


2nd DBA: 182


3rd= Sevennil: 152


3rd= Kyle: 152


3rd= EindhovenDee: 152

27th Gordieboy80: 55

31st= Mighty Meadow: 14


31st= SFC1884: 14


31st= Booitsme7: 14


34th= The Field: 0



Only one month into this and already 5 managers gone. Who is next?

Well we've had a bit of a wait but we finally have another casualty.

http://www.montrosefc.co.uk/

Now although Stuart Garden will provide points to some players there has also been the announcements of several Manager of the Month awards since my last update which has had a large impact on the scores as any manager selected who wins an award will cost you points. The awards have so far been given to:

January 2014
Premiership Manager of the Month: Neil Lennon (Celtic)
Championship Manager of the Month: Ian Murray (Dumbarton)
League 1 Manager of the Month: Ally McCoist (Rangers)
League 2 Manager of the Month: Colin Cameron (Berwick Rangers)

February 2014

Premiership Manager of the Month: Derek McInnes (Aberdeen)
Championship Manager of the Month: Jimmy Nicholl (Cowdenbeath)
League 1 Manager of the Month: Jim Jefferies (Dunfermline Athletic)
League 2 Manager of the Month: Jim Chapman (Annan Athletic)

March 2014

Premiership Manager of the Month: Neil Lennon (Celtic)
Championship Manager of the Month: Alex Neil (Hamilton Academical)
League 1 Manager of the Month: N/A
League 2 Manager of the Month: N/A

(Guessing the SPFL can't be bothered with League 1 and 2 this month)

This leaves our leader board as follows:

1st: SuperMoMan: 313

2nd: smpar: 247

3rd: Arbroathlegend36-0: 230

4th: Chris_The_Rover: 224

5th: BerwickMad: 205

6th: itzdrk: 193

7th: DBA: 172

8th= Kyle: 152

8th= EindhovenDee: 152

10th: NE63 Exile: 143

11th: Compliment Sandwich: 142

12th: Sevinnil: 132

13th: fafc1885: 125

14th= meanmistermustard: 102

14th= Bold Rover: 102

16th: Quitongo's Left Peg: 94

17th: mid-table: 87

18th: wisbit: 79

19th: Albino Rover: 77

20th: Craigkillie: 69

21st: Broony88: 64

22nd: BullyWeeClyde: 60

23rd= iceblink: 59

23rd= Marshmallo: 59

25th: Berwick-the-unbeatable: 47

26th: callum-ayr: 46

27th: Gordieboy80: 35

28th: realmadrid: 29

29th= Might Meadow: 4

29th= Booitsme7: 4

31st: Southside Hibee: 2

32nd: SFC1884: -6

33rd= Andy_K_97: -10

33rd= Sloop John B: -10

35th: Desp: -13

36th: Carnegie Par: -20

37th: ebbes20silkcut: -30

So there we have it; everybody off the mark now, albeit a few moving backwards rather than forwards following the Manager of the Month awards.

So a Montrose fan tops this competition following the demise of their boss meaning that Montrose supporters top both this and the Dead Pool. If only they were as successful picking a team to support.

It's been a quite few months but with the season reaching its climax soon I'd expect more heads to roll soon and there's a long way to go.

And we have two more fallers; John Coughlin after announcing he would leave East Stirlingshire a few weeks back had his last game on Saturday before being replaced by Craig Tully and one of the shortest serving managers, Kenny Shiels, has walked from Morton following their humiliation against Hamilton.

As well as this, the SPFL finally announced the League One and League Two Manager of the Months for March (I'd expect Aprils some time over the summer) as Gary Bollan and Jim McInally, this leaves the standings as follows:

1st: SuperMoMan: 447

2nd: BerwickMad: 314

3rd: Kyle: 299

4th: NE63 Exile: 252

5th: smpar: 247

6th: ArbroathLegend36-0: 230

7th: Chris_The_Rover: 224

8th: Bold Rover: 211

9th: Marshmallo: 196

10th: itzdrk: 183

11th: DBA: 172

12th: Southside Hibee: 149

13th= EindhovenDee: 142

13th= Compliement Sandwich: 142

15th: Andy_K_97: 137

16th: sevinnil: 132

17th: fafc1885: 125

18th: Carnegie Par: 124

19th: Desp: 109

20th: meanmistermustard: 102

21st: Quitongo's Left Peg: 84

22nd= ebbes20silkcut: 79

22nd= wisbit: 79

24th: mid-table: 77

25th: Craigkillie: 69

26th: Albino Rover: 67

27th: BullyWeeClyde: 60

28th: Broony88: 54

29th: iceblink: 49

30th: Callum-Ayr: 46

31st: Gordieboy80: 35

32nd: berwick-the-unbeatable: 27

33rd: realmadrid: 19

34th= Mighty Meadow: -6

34th= sfc1884: -6

36th: booitsme7: -16

37th: Sloop John B: -20

So the season is nearly at an end but will those who have survived so far remain throughout the summer? Who do you think will go next?

They're dropping like flies now and 2 of our more popular picks, Danny Lennon and Gary Locke, got their jotters on Monday. Given how many players had selected these two managers there has been some upheaval on the leaderboard and we now have a new leader; rising up the board like an Austrian bearded lady is:

1st: Kyle: 605

So there's a new leader; and here's how the rest line up:

2nd: Compliment Sandwich: 448

3rd: SuperMoMan: 447

4th: BerwickMad: 442

5th: Desp: 415

6th= meanmistermustard: 383

6th= Arbroathlegend36-0: 383

8th: Craigkillie: 375

9th: Bold Rover: 364

10th: iceblink: 355

11th: Chris_The_Rover: 352

12th: ebbes20silkcut: 335

13th: DBA: 325

14th: Marshmallo: 324

15th: Andy_K_97: 290

16th= Southside Hibee: 277

16th Carnegie Par: 277

18th: Mighty Meadow: 275

19th: Eindhovendee: 270

20th: NE63 Exile: 252

21st: smpar: 247

22nd: wisbit: 232

23rd: mid-table: 230

24th: Albino Rover: 220

25th: BullyWeeClyde: 213

26th: Broony88: 207

27th: GordieBoy80: 188

28th: itzdrk: 183

29th: berwick-the-unbeatable: 180

30th: Callum-Ayr: 174

31st: SFC1884: 147

32nd: sevinnil: 132

33rd: fafc1885: 125

34th: booitsme7: 112

35th: Sloop John B: 108

36th: Quitongo's Left Peg: 84

37th: realmadrid: 19

And so everybody is back into positive points and we've already had 10 managers lose their job without this season even reaching its climax. Will everybody remaining still be in their posts come the start of next season?

Apologies for the lack of updates folk, for I had picked a bad week to be off! In my time away Jim Duffy shocked us all I think by leaving Clyde to join Morton, and although it was less of a shock I was still slightly surprised by Lennon's departure (especially given he didn't get the Norwich job). So this coupled with a few more Manager of the Month awards for April (although strangely there hasn't been one announced for League One) leaves the standings as following:

1st: Desp: 668

2nd: Kyle: 585

3rd: craigkillie: 503

4th: Ebbes20silkcut: 453

5th: SuperMoMan: 447

6th: Berwickmad: 432

7th: Compliment Sandwich: 428

8th: Andy_K_97: 415

9th: Southside Hibee: 405

10th: Eindhovendee: 398

11th: Arbroathlegend36-0: 383

12th: mid-table: 380

13th: meanmistermustard: 373

14th: Bold Rover: 364

15th= iceblink: 335

15th= Broony88: 335

17th: Chris_the_rover: 332

18th: DBA: 315

19th: Marshmallo: 314

20th: SFC1884: 297

21st: Carnegie Par: 257

22nd: Mighty Meadow: 255

23rd: smpar: 247

24th: NE63 Exile: 242

25th: wisbit: 222

26th: Albino Rover: 210

27th: bullyweeclyde: 203

28th: itzdrk: 183

29th: Gordieboy80: 178

30th: berwick-the-unbeatable: 170

31st: Callum-ayr: 164

32nd: realmadrid: 157

33rd: fafc1885: 125

34th: sevinnil: 122

35th: booitsme7: 102

36th: Sloop John B: 98

37th: Quitongo's Left Peg: 74

And so we have another new leader with the previous incumbent Kyle actually losing points due to his picks winning awards.

Will there be more changes before the new season begins? I expect that there will be.

Apologies for the lack of an update again folks but my master copy of my spreadsheet had corrupted. Fortunately after sobbing uncontrollably for a few days I was able to recover it and can now provide the latest scores.

In the short time since the last scores were given no fewer than 3 managers have left their post. Gary Holt returned to Norwich, Terry Butcher received the chop *groans*, and James Ward has been sacked by the Wee Rovers of Albion.

Such was the surprise of Hibs hilarious collapse since the New Year nobody had picked Butcher in this competition. Holt was slightly more popular a choice but only Quitongo's Left Peg correctly guessed he'd depart to join another club so he gets a wee boost there.

Finally, only sevinnil had selected James Ward to be sacked so congratulations to you. This leaves the standings as follows:

1st: Desp: 817

2nd: Kyle: 585

3rd: Craigkillie: 503

4th: Chris_The_Rover: 481

5th: iceblink: 474

6th: SuperMoMan: 447

7th: ebbes20silkcut: 443

8th: Compliment Sandwich: 428

9th: BerwickMad: 422

10th: Carnegie Par: 406

11th= Andy_K_97: 405

11th= Southside Hibbee: 405

13th: Eindhovendee: 388

14th: Arbroathlegend36-0: 383

15th: meanmistermustard: 373

16th: mid-table: 370

17th: Bold Rover: 354

18th: Bullyweeclyde: 352

19th: Broony88: 325

20th: DBA: 315

21st: sevinnil: 305

22nd: Marshmallo: 304

23rd: SFC1884: 297

24th: Quitongo's Left Peg: 248

25th: smpar: 247

26th: Mighty Meadow: 245

27th: NE63 Exile: 242

28th: wisbit: 222

29th: Albino Rover: 200

30th: itzdrk: 183

31st: Gordieboy80: 178

32nd: Callum-Ayr: 164

33rd: Berwick-the-unbeatable: 160

34th: realmadrid: 147

35th: fafc1885: 125

36th: Booitsme7L 92

37th: Sloop John B: 88

So a busy summer so far; will there be more changes before the season starts?

And so we have had the first managerial casualty of the new season; congratulations/commiserations to Derek Adams formerly of Ross County!

I've just returned from holiday and inexcusably after updating the scores on my spreadsheet when Paul Sheerin left Arbroath way back I never actually posted an update. However, I am glad to have the latest scores for you now:

1st: Desp: 817

2nd: Kyle: 745

3rd: SFC1884: 718

4th: ebbes20silkcut: 679

5th: Andy_K_97: 641

6th: Albino Rover: 621

7th: SuperMoMan: 607

8th: Sevinnil: 566

9th: Eindhovendee: 548

10th: realmadrid: 543

11th: meanmistermustard: 533

12th: mid-table: 530

13th: booitsme7: 513

14th: Sloop John B: 509

15th: craigkillie: 503

16th: smpar: 483

17th: Chris_the_rover: 481

18th: DBA: 475

19th: iceblink: 474

20th: Marshmallo: 464

21st: Compliment Sandwich: 428

22nd: Berwickmad: 422

23rd: Carnegie Par: 406

24th= Southside Hibee: 405

24th= Mighty Meadow: 405

26th: NE63 Exile: 402

27th: Arbroathlegend36-0: 383

28th: wisbit: 382

29th: Bold Rover: 354

30th: Bullyweeclyde: 352

31st: itzdrk: 343

32nd: Gordieboy80: 338

33rd: Broony88: 325

34th: Callum-Ayr: 324

35th: fafc1885: 285

36th: Quitongo's Left Peg: 248

37th: Berwick-the-unbeatable: 160

So huge changes since our last update but 1st place still held by Desp. However, with a new season underway there will surely be more managers under pressure soon with many a jacket hanging on a shoogly peg.

Who will be next to go?
