Does exactly what it says on the tin.

Are you lot surprised by this? Personally I think every manager should be given more time to get their side into how they want it, and Scott hadn't even been in charge a year!

Very harsh this IMO. It is a thankless task having to motivate your players to play at the DVS every other week. Their squad is ok but need more consistency. That said they aren't doing THAT badly and i would have given him the summer and see how the new season in their new stadium takes shape before making rash decisions.

Brian Horton has been appointed as interim Macc boss due to the sacking of Gary Simpson today. I looked at the table yesterday and couldn't believe how low they are in the league, they are in severe relegation danger now i'm afraid.

Two teams that lost to us last week subsequently sack their managers-Di Canio will be feeling the pressure!

Good appointment by Macc I feel. I'd sooner see them go down than any of the teams around them with Dagenham, although I like John Still a lot Dagenham is a hole.

Bit harsh on Scott, Rotherham's season is finished and moving into a new stadium maybe they think they'll give the new man 8 or 9 games to have a look at the squad before recruiting new players for next season. I'd have stuck with him as he seems a good manager for this level and has had a difficult hand losing the likes of Le Fondre this season.

Paul Buckle is not alone..
