In my fourth year with Bromley and have then sitting pretty atop the League 1 table approaching the January transfer window. Jose Mourinho has just been sacked by Chelsea (again). Why you ask? Bromley 3-1 Chelsea in the League Cup QF. He makes the 20th manager who has been sacked after losing to my Bromley squad. I thought this was crazy! I noticed it in my first season when two guys got the sack within three days, both after losing to me. The list is as follows:
Season 1 (BSS)
John Newby - Colwyn Bay 0-11 Bromley - FA Trophy (3rd Q) - 11/26/11
Paul Doswell - Sutton United 0-7 Bromley - BSS - 12/26/11
Spencer Day - Bromley 8-0 Farnborough - BSS - 12/28/11
Jon Brady - Brackley 0-4 Bromley - BSS - 03/29/12 (relegated)
Alan Lewer - Dorchester 1-5 Bromley - 04/12/12 (relegated)
Season 2 (BSP)
Simon Weaver - Harrogate 1-9 Bromley - BSP - 10/01/12
Mark Robins - Bromley 5-1 Coventry - FA Cup (2nd Rd) - 12/02/12
Andy Morrell - Wrexham 0-9 Bromley - BSP - 02/23/13
Paul *** - Bromley 7-0 Mansfield - BSP - 04/13/13 - (knocked them from playoff contention)
Gary Lowe - Hyde 1-10 Bromley - BSP - 04/20/13 - (cinched relegation)
Alan Devonshire - Bromley 7-0 Braintree - 04/27/13 - (relegated on GD)
Season 3 (L2)
Brian McDermott - Bolton 0-6 Bromley - 09/27/13 - League Cup (3rd Rd) (only lasted three months)
Graham Turner - Shrewsbury 1-8 Bromley - 10/12/13 - L2

Mickey Mellon - Fleetwood 0-3 Bromley - 19/03/14 - L2 (relegated)

Season 4 (L1)
Terry Butcher - Ipswich 1-5 Bromley - 12/11/14 - L1 (promotion contenders bottom of table)
Jose Mourinho - Bromley 3-1 Chelsea - 07/12/14 - League Cup QF
So there you have it. Anyone else have great satisfaction in getting someone sacked? Rival team? Pompous jerk you don't like? Shot down in flames? Post it here!
