A side issue is worrying me. Does anyone else listen to TalkSport on a Sunday evening. They run a phone poll entitled "...The Sunday Night Sack Race...", where aggrieved football supporters ring up to nominate their Manager for the boot. Now Jacko has never featured I hasten to add, but it may only be a matter of time. What bothers me more is that these polls are a fairly accurate guide to what happens next - take last Sunday's result for instance.


1st - Kevin Blackwell (Leeds) - sacked on Wednesday

2nd - Stuart Pearce (Manchester City) - lost to Chesterfield in the League Cup and hanging to his job by the skin of his teeth,

3rd - Bryan Robson (West Brom) - sacked on Monday

And you wonder why I express concerns - if we win tomorrow maybe Jacko won't be on the list, but anything less (defeat for instance) and who knows. There must be three managers more unpopular than PJ right now - or is there?
