It's that time of year again in the world of English top flight football.
Welcome to the 'Wacky Weekly World' of the managerial merry go round.
Without a doubt having a small punt on the next coach/manager to walk the plank......whether pushed, or privately relinquishing their role in a vain attempt to save face (tricky if your a Dowie......facially speaking of course).
This is of course after first receiving the now traditional ceremonial backing (back-stabbing) from the....... well er 'backers.' This makes for more funtime than showtime!
Inside information is undoubtedly useful, but common sense is suffice. Remember losing the job of handing out the bibs during & collecting the cones at the end of a training session may not be everyone's idea of how to put bread and water on the table in an effort to climb the career ladder. However the music has stopped and their are not enough chairs to go around, so with a touch of South London bias I would engage my hard earned pounds floundering in 'The Orrifice' this week in a Managerial Exit Win Double.
Get on before it all kicks off, on and off the hallowed turf of stadiums around the country this weekend......with the exception of the wonderful atmospheric and stylish home of Brighton FC.
Blame the council I hear the success starved Sussex settlers snivell, but that doesn't change the fact that your ground is still a dump! I digress.
'Fill your boots' says get on two ex-Crystal Palace Managers for the chop after this weekends fixtures. In the Championship Bruce's blues are away at a resurgent Derby under 'Billy the Wizz' Davies......and I can't see the ex-Palace boss coming away with anything from Pride Park except abuse. Bye bye Brucie.
A skinny 5/6 I know, but the best is yet to come.
By next week the Palace will be associated nationally with punters and supporters alike, as having given something back to the game by providing the 'fall guys' for some of the other so called 'bigger clubs.'
The phrase 'bigger club' is without doubt a truly monotonous, tiresome and irritating expression devised and used by the Associated Press to ridicule and exclude anyone and anything football related, unless it contains the 'C' word, namely Champions League, Chelsea, Cudicini, Cech, Carvallio, Cole and Cole, Cheating and Cheque book.
Now take the letter 'C' and you bring me to the 6/1 generally being offered on Charlton's Iain Dowie being the first to be shown the Premiership door next week. Ok, so they are home to Watford on Saturday, but anything less than three points and the proverbial '' clear your locker out and leave the key at reception Mr. D. your taxi will be here in five! '' seems inevitable.
So there we have it a 12/1 win double give or take a few bob.
