Exhibit One: Ian Holloway (Now forever known as Ian Hollowords)
Days after he declared he was “in love” with Plymouth Argyle, Ian Holloway has dumped the club in favour of a richer suitor. Holloway resigned as manager of the Coca-Cola Championship side yesterday and will take over at Leicester City once the clubs have agreed compensation.
Exhibit Two: Steve McClaren.
England manager Steve McClaren has been sacked after his side's failure to qualify for the Euro 2008 competition.McClaren's fate was sealed at Wembley last night when England lost 2-3 to Croatia, despite having hit back from a two-goal deficit.England had needed just one point from the match to qualify.
McClaren himself refused to resign immediately after he and his players were booed off the Wembley turf by an angry capacity crowd but he did agree that the squad had badly let the country down.
"It is an indescribable pain," McClaren said. "There is so much expectation, both from the fans in the stadium and the people watching on TV at home. We have let them down."
