Both managers who lost 9-0 at the weekend have this morning lost their jobs. First to go was Scott Barker who got Bournemouth promoted from the Championship last season but was given just four games in the top flight, which included away matches against both Manchester City and Liverpool, before discovering how far loyalty takes you in the money-bags English Premier League.

His side’s 9-0 hammering at Anfield was the catalyst for his sacking this morning and shortly afterwards at the other end of Britain, Jack Ross was being relieved of his duties at Tannadice after suffering his own 9-0 thrashing as Dundee United where blown away by a rampant Celtic side on Sunday afternoon.
