That will be in one years time.

 

[GP200]

..............has Harry gone yet?????...........

 

[Wouldbee]

We've not had a Steve Coppell 33 day type meltdown for a while have we? Its normally volatile Chairman these days rather than managers.

 

[scruff puppy pup]

My question is which clubs are currently without a manager, or at least a permanent one?

Sunderland and Oxford United.
Any others?

Oxford could do worse than give Alan Devonshire a go. Doubt it will happen.

 

[Humblebee]

The season starts on 5th August, so what's the betting someone will be gone by 31st?

Hope it's our ex Manager off the back of a 7-0 thrashing at GP.

Have Palace appointed anyone yet following Big Sam's walking?

They've offered it to Frank de Boer, so it appears from The Netherlands...

Sunderland, C Palace, Oxford U and Southampton are the Clubs without a Manager. Dean Smith is now 28th in the list of managers from when appointed by a Club. (1 year 204 days)

Wilder, McInnes and Monk turned down Sunderland. The Black Cats are now after Grayson of PNE!

Really hoping they end up with Lee Clark as their last option.

He's number 8 on their list..... probably! They have Darren Ferguson, Keith Curle & Phil Brown to call on first! lol

Mick McCarthy?! Has to be number 9.

What about Steve Evans?

 

[hanworthbee]

I reckon Kevin ball will end it given it.

 

[NorthamptonBee]

What about Steve Evans?

He's 10, 11 and 12.

 

[BEEm us up Scotty]

Thought is was Rupert.

 

[Humblebee]

He's 10, 11 and 12.

lol

 

[Invipai]

Sunderland it will drag...potential new owners are thinking different than the current ones manager wise which is making planning next season interesting! (And they'll be about 2 months behind everyone else...)

Southampton it will be someone I've never heard of but who is probably quite good...

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Mauricio Pellegrino appointed Southampton manager.

 

[scruff puppy pup]

Mauricio Pellegrino appointed Southampton manager.

Damn good appointment.

 

[bees66]

Damn good appointment.

never heard of him before?

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

Mauricio Pellegrino appointed Southampton manager.

Southampton has become quite a pilgrimage for foreign coaches.

 

[scruff puppy pup]

It's what you get if you combine Mauricio Pochettino and Manuel Pellegrino.


Okay, I admit I confused Mauricio Pellegrino with the former Man City manager currently managing in China.

I made the same mistake.

They've got a habit of making good appointments.

 

[King Bee]

Simon Grayson to Sunderland eh? Wonder if Uwe fancies his chances at the Deepdale next season if this happens?

What about a return for David Moyes?

 

[jlove]

What about a return for David Moyes?

There's a nice circularity about that! I doubt it, though, as he didn't want to be in the Championship with Sunderland. Whatever, lots of disruption suits us fine and we play both in consecutive games in October, so they're possibly still not settled by then.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Pep Clotet appointed Oxford United manager. Will be interesting to see how he goes.

Finally broken away from Garry Monk.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Alex Neil set to become Preston manager.

Rosler was in the frame but missed out to him according to Skysports

 

[hanworthbee]

Ian cathro gone from hearts.....thought he was someone we migh have been interested in a while back.....

 

[SmiffyBee]

He should have stayed in Cuba

 

[Jim Rourke]

Was he not one of the bright up and coming Coaches who had got extensive experience in Europe (Spain)?

 

[Stanley]

Wonder when the first Championship manager to go will be, usually someone goes quickly after a poor start. My money would be on McCarthy. He is already in battle mode after a shocking display against Charlton in a friendly.

Ipswich's owner knows McCarthy is doing a decent job on a low budget with little additional money for purchases. He'll only be in danger if the risk of relegation looms.

 

[grutter]

Toss up between Wolves and Leeds managers. If either are bottom half after 10 games, they'll be out. Wolves need to win games with all that money spent.

Or one of the relegated teams if they don't hit the ground running.

 

[kevalutonbee]

I'd go for Simon Grayson. In my view, Sunderland are this years Villa and Ellis Short is a basket case with no patience

That's the thing, though, Ipswich could well face a relegation fight.

And even if they only suffer a mediocre-bump-along-three-or-four-places-above-relegation season, the Board will still come under enormous pressure from the natives, who were restless enough last season.

P.S. McCarthy is the longest serving Championship manager at present. Anyone know where his departure would leave Deano on the list?

Third, by the look of it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_current_Premier_League_and_English_Football_League_managers

Or second, if you're talking about "managing his club in the Championship" (behind Carvalho), rather than mere "Championship managers" (Neil Harris)

 

[scruff puppy pup]

Grayson at Sunderland.
McCarthy at Ipswich.
Holloway at Ra Ra's.
Parkinson at Bolton, depending upon how unrealistic the owners are considering their transfer embargo.

Two from the above plus one unexpected would be my guess for the first three Championship managers to go.
Someone should start a thread for guessing the first three managerial changes in the Championship.

Add Leeds and Wolves if there not in top 4 by end of September

That would be from the unexpected pile, I was focussing on the sides likely to struggle in the division.
My guess is the Premiership will be an ocean of stability compared to the managerial Wild West that is the Championship.
All good for us Bees fans.

 

[Ealing Bee]

When Leeds kicked off on Sunday, it was the seventh successive August they started out with a new manager.

Record-breakers again! Will there be a sepia-tone montage on their ageing video display? Will they have a song for it? "Seven in a row; we've had seven in a row, Champions of Europe, we're standing alone".

 

[bajenleker]

On Steve Bruce in the Guardian.
"Bruce feels “two transfer windows is not enough to be judged on”, given the scale of the clean-up job at Villa Park, and admits he is “under the cosh” to ensure they meet Financial Fair Play regulations."

Poor guy.
