From a newspaper I don't want to link to:

Blackpool assistant boss Steve Thompson is an early contender for the Carlisle job after Greg Abbott became the first managerial casualty of the season today.
It is understood that Blackpool are prepared to waive their right to compensation for Thompson, 48, who has twice stepped in as caretaker manager during his time at Bloomfield Road.
The former Bolton and Leicester midfielder became head of Blackpool’s youth department in 2005 before being promoted to first-team coach and assistant manager.

Carlisle have put Abbott’s No.2 Graham Kavanagh and youth team coach David Irons in temporary charge but are expected to bring in a new manager from outside the club.
Abbott paid the price for Carlisle’s poor record this season after picking up just two points from the first six games.
He was the third longest-serving manager in English football behind Arsene Wenger and Exeter boss Paul Tisdale, having been appointed in December 2008.

Which prompted me to watch this again. Fast forward to 5 minutes.

Don't forget to stop the video after the goal...

What surprises me most, apart from the obvious lie about him not being in Aberdeen anymore, is that he's only 28!!

So what the hell happened to Tommy Wright then?

Just had a read on his wiki page and he had real potential. He was clearly League 2 standard. Was the step up to the SPL too big?

Step up?

Apart from the team(s) right at the top, the SPL is League 1 and League 2 standard.

David Flitcroft also said today he believes Chris O'Grady can turn into a £2-3m player. "There's nothing like him in the Championship."
