Our manager is in his early forties and we are at the dizzy heights of second in the league. I suppose there is/was a chance that the owners would say "ta v much Brendan but we're going to put the youth team coach in charge, the fella with no top flight experience" but I would rate it no higher than very slight.
If it really is a "sacking", what could it possibly be about? Here's some scenarios off the top of my head:
a) Borrell and/or Macparland were behind the scenes negotiating with another club about possibly moving there and the powers that be at Liverpool got wind of it.
b) The two people above were passing on information about our most promising youngsters or our club to other managers they knew or previously worked with, in order to facilitate transfers of players.
c) Ether or both of the above were working and conducting themselves in a way which was disrespectful to the management of the senior team, and in a way which sought to undermine that management team.
Then obviously there's completely off the wall and wildly speculative stuff, one of them was shagging the tea lady, one of young players mums, that kind of gear. Whatever it though, my guess is that we wouldn't "sack" long term employees without due consideration and reason.
