Paul Ince was this week sacked as manager of Blackpool
Think he will struggle to get a new job if this is his tactical masterplan

The farcical events surrounding the takeover of Leeds took a further twist on Saturday when Brian McDermott was told by club directors that the people who had sacked him had no authority to do so.
The League Managers' Association are waiting for clarification of the situation at Elland Road after a chaotic 24 hours.
The takeover of the club by Italian Massimo Cellino is subject to Football League approval.
An LMA statement said: "Brian received a call last night from a solicitor informing him that Leeds United were terminating his contract as manager.
"This morning Brian received a further phone call from a director of the football club stating the company on whose behalf the solicitor had contacted Brian are not the owners of Leeds United.
"In the circumstances, Brian was asked by the directors of the club not to take the match today and we are awaiting clarification of the situation over the weekend."
Nigel Gibbs, McDermott's long-standing number two, answered the call to lead the team against Huddersfield in his place.
It had looked as though Gianluca Festa, a lifelong friend of Cellino, the Cagliari owner who is close to buying United, would be a controversial figure in the dugout.
The events merely added to a farcical 24 hours at the West Yorkshire club, who on Saturday morning confirmed they had agreed to sell a 75 per cent majority stake to Cellino, subject to Football League approval.
Current owners Gulf Finance House Capital confirmed the news ahead of the Huddersfield game, although Cellino had already made his presence felt before then by attempting to remove McDermott on Friday night.
The ex-Reading manager refused to allow Festa to sit with him in the dugout during the midweek draw with Ipswich, and also refused to take a number of Italian players given to him by Cellino.
The mayhem continued as two of the club's main sponsors, Enterprise Insurance and Flamingo Land, said they would be withdrawing their backing.
And police were called to Elland Road on Friday as fans did their best to barricade Cellino inside the ground after some late-night talks. Those protests continued outside the ground ahead of kick-off.
None of that has stopped GFH Capital from choosing Cellino's bid over one from rival consortium Together Leeds, though.
A statement read: "Following recent media reports and speculation, GFH Capital would like to confirm that it has agreed to sell a 75 per cent stake in the club to Eleonora Sport Ltd, a company owned by the Cellino family who have many years' experience in football and who plan to invest substantially in the club including the re-acquisition of Elland Road.
"Eleonora will be working on completing the required Football League approval.
"The Cellino family is a well known Italian sports family, who have owned Serie A side Cagliari since 1992. They come to English football with an ambition to support Leeds United financially to take it to the Premier League and a belief that the club can sustain top-flight status.
"Since the agreement, Leeds United is in discussion with Eleonora Sport Ltd on a number of issues concerning club matters, including the structure of the management of the first team."
Cellino became the number one bidder when on Thursday, a consortium of club managing director David Haigh and Enterprise Insurance boss Andrew Flowers collapsed after two months of exclusivity to buy the club under the guise of Sport Capital.
Cellino could still face opposition from the Football League - he has a previous conviction for fraud - while a consortium headed up by former Manchester United director Mike Farnan says it is refusing to go away despite the statement.
"We continue to seek dialogue and have substantial backing with offers of support increasing by the minute," Farnan tweeted.
The Italian influence at Elland Road continues to grow despite that, though, with Cagliari confirming that Leeds had signed midfielder Andrea Tabanelli on loan from them, with Leeds later adding him to the squad list on their website. He was not named to face Town, though.
Cellino, 57, is an agricultural entrepreneur and is known in Cagliari as 'The King of Corn'. He has owned Cagliari for 20 years and had 36 managers in that time.

Laudrup sacked as Swansea manager

Alan Hutton
Classic second season syndrome. I always thought it was crazy to have his name linked with us on the basis of one season, but not as mad as Pochettino on the basis of just half a season.
They have been pretty shocking this season, and Laudrup has seemed strange in interviews, almost disinterested at times. He peaked too early last season - for a club the size of Swansea the only way was down.

Crazy that they would sack him now.

Yep.
If you have to sack him then sack him before the January window or keep him until the end of the season. There's no way they're going down.
Modric THFC

I'd say they were ready to sack him at the start of the year after going 8 games without a win and were looking for any excuse now.
Or there was some sort of fallout between laudrup and the club after failing to sign/target some player in the transfer window.

Laudrup is a very good manager btw but i saw his press conference last week and it didn't look like he was happy. He hasn't coped well with the loss of Michu...actually they've had some real bad luck with injuries.

I'll dine on ***** if they go down. So in other words..if they go down....i go down.
