I think that should read "MRS Advocaat decides" !!!

Plymouth Argyle and John Sheridan part company after 2 1/2 years.

Ian Hendon confirmed at Orient http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/32883823

Latest moves at the bookies:
Westley odds shortening for Blackpool
Early odds for Plymouth - Ian Holloway, Sean McCarthy favourites, from Darren Ferguson, Graham Coughlan, Nigel clough & Paul Wotton
Mark Warburton joint favourite at 2/1 to be in charge at Ibrox by the start of next season, with McCall weakened by tongihts playoff result
Nigel Adkins now favourite for the Sheff Utd job, after permission to approach Phil Parkinson refused by Bradford

A few changes at the bookies:

Viera has surprisingly emerged as favourite to take over at St James' Park - risky on both behalfs,
Sean Dyche is now edging Big Sam at the front of the queue for Sunderland, with Philip Cocu high up as well

Doubt there'll be any more departures (or at least sackings) at this stage, so it will be more about positions being filled, with presumably three or four likely to be finalised this week (not including the rubber stamping of 1st June replacements for out of contract departures - Warburton, Westley, etc)

Marinus Dijkhuizen confirmed at Griffin Park

Ian Holloway rules himself out.

Plymouth fans were agitating against Sheridan as soon as they fell out of the play-offs in the middle of the season. I thought then that they should be careful what they wished for.

Neil McDonald appointed Blackpool manager.

Sheffield United tonight appoint Nigel Adkins.

In an interesting turn of events, Sunderland have persuaded Dick Advocaat to sign for another year in charge:

Been pretty much certain for a while but... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/32958880

Hammers fans get their man - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/33062196

And another vacancy emerges:

I'm surprised that you can 'sack' a caretaker manager, as they are only temporary anyway. Surely they just revert back to their old job, like Mad Dog? Then again, this is Newcastle United, so actually I'm not surprised.

I think he has been sacked from the club as a whole, including his old job.. so that Steve McLaren (oops, the 'new manager') can bring in his own people.
