January 3 - Paul Buckle (Bristol Rovers)
Following a 2-0 defeat at Barnet, which consigned Bristol Rovers to their fourth consecutive defeat, Buckle was sacked. Rovers had not won in eight matches and with the west country club sitting five points above the Football League's bottom two, the Pirates hierarchy acted. Chairman Nick Higgs said: "Although we are aware we need to find stability at the club, we felt we could not go any further with the current situation as the threat of relegation was becoming too real." Buckle took charge at the Memorial Stadium in May 2011.
