think he knew the game was up the way he raced down the tunnel before the final whistle had even finished ringing. |  | | |

Is it some sort of benchmark, to sack a manager if they lose against Rochdale, as if it's the ultimate humiliation?
I seem to remember it happening on a few occasions in the past. |  |

or perhaps its only when they play the dale that they see just how far behind the standard for success in this division they are. |  | | |

It does seem to have happened an unusual number of times in the past (mainly when we were the whipping boys!)
Does any statistical person keep track of such things? Would be interesting to see. |  | | |

There has been a thread on this very subject previously. There are numerous 'casualties' of defeats by Dale ending in the 'bullet'.
Ian Atkins
Bobby Gould
Terry Butcher................to name but three and there are several others.............. [Post edited 27 Mar 2014 11:33]

Didn't Oxford sack two managers in one season after losing games to us? |  |

Yeah that paedo Rix went after losing with Oxford.
Barker has fallen from grace since his "brilliant" time at little bury LOL | | | |

Not so long ago Judd.
Beat em at the Kassam and they sacked the manager and lo and behold exactly the same later the same season when we did the league double over them at Spotland!!
Losing to little ol Rochdale has had plenty of managerial casualties over the years. | | | |

Didn't Palmer walk off with about ten mins to go of that game? | | | |

Dave Hodgson actually resigned during half-time in the dressing room at Spotland when Dale were playing Darlo...... | |

The Mansfield fans that match were bouncing up and down waving banners and excitedly singing about how much they wanted Palmer out all game. I've never seen such vociferous anti-support! |  | | |

Normally sacked after a poor performance against a team near the bottom - not the team top.
Mind you Bryan Gunn was sacked from Norwich following a 4-0 away win | | | |

I remember being at Cheltenham when Bobby Gould resigned straight after playing us. |  |

Interesting to see that a club director (and former player) now says that Richie Barker was 'the wrong man at the wrong club at the wrong time' and that 'he never fitted in at Portsmouth'
Wonder who appointed him ? | |

That must be about the 10th consecutive wrong man at the wrong time at Portsmouth by now seen as how they plummet on and on, ever downwards.
Barker is a mediocre manager. Whilst I have been surprised Knill has turned out to be garbage at both managerial jobs since Bury I am not surprised by Barker - he is tactically stubborn but that is nothing to his total inability to use the transfer market. Remember he signed Lateef Elford-Elliyu three times in 2012. And I suspect none of you have heard of him.
However the bit with him that really sticks in the craw is his disappearing act the Monday before last season started having built a truly faecal squad at Bury and then using our consequent crapness with his players as evidence in interviews of how inspirational he had been at the club the previous season. Douchebag. | | | |

Pompey explain that prior to appointing Andy Awford as caretaker manager, they had 'explored other options' with a view to appointing someone form 'outside' the club, but their preferred choice was 'unavailable at this present time'
I think that could mean that Steve Claridge will continue to co-present the Football league show for the immediate future and in no way wishes to be connected with the ultimate demise of Portsmouth FC if they lose league status.
Claridge was at Spotland on Tuesday and must have been embarrassed at what he saw. Hard to imaging they lifted the FA Cup a mere 6 years ago. | |
