vicky-27 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Notts County have sacked manager Ian McParland. The Scot has been relieved of his duties four days before what would have been his second anniversary in charge of the Coca-Cola League Two club. McParland's position at the club has been in question since the high-profile takeover of the club by Swiss-based Middle East consortium Munto Finance, who brought in former England boss Sven-Goran Eriksson as director of football in the summer. McParland lost just three of his side's 12 league matches this season and the Magpies are unbeaten at Meadow Lane. But the club's progression is not deemed quick enough by the new success-hungry owners and Sunday's 2-2 home draw against struggling Torquay, when County led 2-0 at one stage, was the final straw. McParland leaves the Magpies in fifth place in the table and just four points behind leaders Bournemouth. Who now for manager then Sol Campbell a nyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vicky-27 Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 Is Sven going as well ? The move paves the way for director of football Sven Goran Eriksson to take over the Meadow Lane hot seat. However, the 61-year-old is also facing calls from his homeland to take over the struggling Sweden national team after a disastrous World Cup qualification campaign. County dismissed McParland a day after his side threw away a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 with Torquay. The result left County four points behind League Two leaders Bournemouth after 12 matches. After the match, Eriksson refused to answer questions from Swedish journalists about taking over the national team. However, his trusted right-hand man Tord Grip admitted: 'I don't know if he has a clause in his contract, but I'm sure he would be interested, I think.

bakeri666 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 David Platt is Sky Bet's joint favourite to be the next manager at Notts County following the departure of Ian McParland today. Platt is 4-1 to take over in the Meadow Lane hot-seat, together with Notts' director of football Sven-Goran Eriksson. Former Reading manager Steve Coppell is next in the betting at 5/1.
