they were calling for both his and cerezo's head

Quite rightly so.
Apparently if Aguirre does get the boot Abel Resino will be appointed for the rest of the season, and Atléti will have to pay €500,000 in compensation to Castellon - his current employers.
To most sane people appointing someone who has only coached in the second division to a club playing in the Champs League and chasing European qualification might seem a bit odd, but paying €500k for what could only be a few months would be ludicrous - however that is the sort of thing Cerezo and Atlético can reasonably expected to do!

i can see enrique giving aguirre the boot to save his own skin. show he's taking action and lessen the pressure on himself.

Aye, that's exactly what I am expecting to happen, longer term Cerezo has to go too but I don't know enough about off-field issues to know how realistic that is and who might come in.
What short memories they have on the banks of the Manzanares. Yes, the start to 2009 has been poor but a couple of wins and they're back in the top four. I tend to think that managers should only lead mid-season if their club is in particularly dire straits, which Atleti clearly weren't here. Then again, if Resino does a good job he has the opportunity to properly plan summer transfers.
It wasn't so long ago Atleti went 15 games unbeaten, I think that has been forgotten rather quickly but on the other hand if he's lost the influential figures in the dressing room - Maxi, Aguero, Forlan - then perhaps there was no point delaying the inevitable.

Could turn out to be a very shrewd deal. I've seen Faubert play a few times and he looks class, big risk mind, but I've got this feeling he will come good for them.
Anderson-son-son
He's better than Kleberson
Anderson-son-son-son
He's our midfield magician
On the left, on the right
Do the Samba beat tonight
He is class, he sh*gs brass
And he sh*ts on Fabregas
