THE CRAZY WORLD OF LEYTON ORIENT
It's not easy being a football manager, and nowhere has that been more true this season than at Leyton Orient.
On Thursday, Omer Riza became the fifth man to take charge of the club this season, following Danny Webb's resignation after two months as manager.
Andy Edwards, Alberto Cavasin, Andy Hessenthaler all came and went earlier in a campaign which has seen the financially-imperilled club slump to the bottom of the League Two table.
The O's have had 11 managers since owner Francesco Becchetti bought the East London club in July 2014, but is Riza taking on the toughest job in England?

THE SERIAL FAILURE BACK FOR ANOTHER BITE OF THE CHERRY??
Former Nottingham Forest boss Steve McClaren is being linked with a return to football at the Reds' opponents on Saturday, Huddersfield Town.
The 55-year-old ex-England manager has been out of work since being sacked by Forest's arch-rivals Derby County for a second time almost a month ago.
And he is reportedly the surprise name in the frame to be Huddersfield's new director of football, working alongside current manager David Wagner.
DON'T DO IT, ARE YOU MAD OR WHAT?

Rowett returned to St Andrew's on Saturday with Derby and left with a 2-1 win. In response, Birmingham reiterated their backing for Zola,.

A BIT INEVITABLE THIS ONE
Gianfranco Zola has resigned as Birmingham City manager following Monday's home defeat by fellow Championship strugglers Burton Albion.
The 50-year-old Italian was in charge for just four months, during which time the team only won twice in 24 games.
Remind me, did they sack in order to install this clown? Oh yes, When predecessor Gary Rowett was sacked in December, Blues were seventh. 😂

GOOD OLD HARRY
Who's that riding to the rescue on his white stallion? The Lone Ranger? No Hop along Cassidy? No, it's the one and only Harry 'I pay my taxes' Rednapp galloping towards St Andrews to clear up a right Italian mess. Good old Harry.
Birmingham City have moved quickly to secure a replacement for Gianfranco Zola, who resigned after seeing his Blues side beaten 2-0 at home to relegation rivals Burton Albion on Monday afternoon.
The St Andrew's club have appointed former Portsmouth and West Ham United boss Harry Redknapp, 70, in a bid to halt their alarming slide towards the Championship drop zone.

IS OLLY THE NEXT ONE TO GO??
Ian Holloway is a man under pressure.
The QPR boss came in for criticism on Saturday after seeing his side lose again at Brentford.
He said today "We need to think clearly under pressure and we have to get back to doing that every week. We have to dust ourselves down, start again and find a way of playing that's nailed down.
Brentford played well, I hate to say it, but now it's about how much you care and how you do it. Six games ago we were top of the form table and since then we've had one win to get and we still need it.
For me it's simple. We have to draw or win next week. We still have work to do.
Anyone who is a real QPR fan has to take this one on the chin with dignity because we have to come together to beat Forest.
What next Ian? A vote of confidence 😎
