Summary from United States, from articles in English

ANAHEIM, Calif. - Willie Randolph, fired as manager of the Mets in the early hours of the morning Tuesday, said he was "stunned" by the decision to let him go nearly three months into another disappointing season. (article 1)
Jerry Manuel, a thinking man's manager if there ever was one, served as a coach under Willie Randolph for three years before being named to as his replacement on June 17, 2008. (article 16)
The promotion from bench coach put Manuel on the line to revive a team that had sputtered to a 34-35 record, good for no more than third place in the National League East. (article 16)
Nobody seems sure how long Randolph will remain the team's manager, or whether his coaching staff will stay intact. (article 10)
Randolph's job appears to be in jeopardy, while reports Monday indicated pitching coach Rick Peterson and first base coach Tom Nieto could be fired soon. (article 10)
Rick Peterson, the Mets pitching coach, went bounding through the clubhouse Monday afternoon, clutching pages of scouting reports. (article 7)
A few minutes later, Howard Johnson, the hitting coach, ducked out a side door to work with players in the batting cage. (article 7)
