Title: 'Tis the season to be sacking

Warburton gone at Forest.

Not sure what they expected from him really? Thought he was doing a good job.

Mark Hughes can't be far behind either as Stoke got tonked by Chelsea yesterday!

The City of Nottingham is seemingly trying to break all records for sackings. Forrest and County’s record over the last 10 years or so is shocking.

It puzzles me how managers such as Mark Hughes, who were great players but seem to have achieved bugger all as managers, keep getting jobs... There is a bunch of them, who go to a club, achieve nothing, hang on for a year or two then resign or are sacked then roll up at another club soon enough... are there so many mugs out there?

He has been in charge for four full seasons at Stoke and three of those he has finished in the top ten, with only last season outside of that, in 13th. That last season was on or with what Pulis had been achieving in his tenure there.

Up to this season Mark Hughes record at Stoke in my opinion is excellent. Let’s get real you would not expect Stoke to be competing for a top 8 place in that league. Not realistic with their resources.

Mark Hughes is a lot better than some of the other merry-go-round chancers. Alan Pardew, anyone?

Hughes has done well to get Stoke away from the Pulis long ball style, but just seems to have hit a wall this season.

Hughes also did very well with Blackburn, I seem to remember.

Hughes could not be expected to do any better than what he has over the last few seasons.

Plus he lost arguable his best player in the summer and wasn't given any real funds to make many improvements to the squad. To have 2 top 10 finishes in the last 2 seasons is excellent for a club like stoke. I don't understand why their fans hate him so much.
