SuperLeague club Black Fortress Barbarians have ended their long association with one of Legoland's most famous football managers, 77 year old Vujadin Boškov. Saturday's 2-1 home defeat in the Serie A to Port Villa and Boškov's post match comments proved to be the final straw in ending the working relationship between the 'fig and club owner Claudia D'Impaciente. The relationship was already "on the rocks" for most of the season even when BFB, newly promoted from Serie B this season, sat pretty at the top of the division.

Mumbling to the press on Sunday, Ms D'Impaciente explained that she lost her patience with Boškov after he said she should "butt off". "I got tired of his lil butt getting in the way of my team winning and his last comment was the final straw, he is fired! So fired! I'll mail his stuff to his crib... I won't let him screw my team as he is doing, loss after loss, who does he think we are, Torino or some other sorry team?"

Lamenting the "travesty", Boškov spoke angrily to the media on Sunday evening and hit out at D'Impaciente. "I cannot believe she fired me, I gave my career to BFB and came within 90 minutes of winning the league with what can only be described as a provincial club. As a recent blow-in she should not have been interfering with my team, we were doing fine until she starting undermining confidence with her snide remarks each weekend. I much preferred the previous owners. Call me old fashioned but this clearly shows female 'figs and football should be kept far apart. In any case I expect my job back with an apology after the inevitable slide down the table commences and after D'Impaciente realises her decision was woefully inept and that of a degenerate."

Boškov also was keen to clarify that he had not said Ms D'Impaciente should "butt off" as she had alledged. "I said she should butt out", he said.

The Barbarians face a tough trip to Legoland City on Saturday when they meet LFC at the Partizan. Bookmakers have slashed the odds on an LFC victory despite the club being managed by the wiley Patrice Loko.

Boškov's sacking was the latest in a wave of managerial firings this season. Indeed according to the Legoland Football Association, a record 9 managers have been removed or resigned from their position this season. With 11 rounds of the current campaign remaining most pundits believe the final casualty figure will be over 10.
