Managerial Changes Thread 2017 / 2018

[A Real Mysteron]

Farke off?

Farke off?

I'd be very surprised if Norwich are not already lining up his successor.
At the very least, the feelers will have been put out.

Still puzzled by Pardew's appointment at West Brom.
The board's priority must be to remain in the Premiership at all costs. I just don't see Pardew guaranteeing that.
I would wager he won't even make it to the end of the season.

 

[scruff puppy pup]

Gary Monk gone from 'Boro.

There's going to be a few more departures in the Championship between now and the end of January.
The guy at Wednesday is probably on shaky ground.

Nice timing.

 

[Humblebee]

That must be a first. The winner's manager sacked, the loser's still in a job.

 

[A Real Mysteron]

The writing was on the wall when they didn't beat us!

What price Karanka going back?

 

[alikat]

That must be a first. The winner's manager sacked

And with Boro only 3 points off the last play off spot.

 

[HertfordBee]

Strange timing. Presumably he wasn't sacked on the outcome of today's game so it must have been decided some time back. I always thought the chairman Gibson had a bit more decency than that.

But only 4 points ahead of little Brentford....

I follow Bob Mortimer on Twitter, that's how I found out, but from Bob's comments during the season, get the feeling they're all a bit underwhelmed by Monk, that he's made them less than the sum of their parts.

Karanka? Thought he was unpopular there.

 

[The Joker]

Spending Christmas at my brother-in-law's and he's a Boro fan. Delighted at tonight's news. Completely underwhelmed with Boro under Monk. Has no desire to see Karanka return either.

 

[sonofabee]

I think Weds idiot could be gone very soon and also think Karanka could return to Boro but not by popular demand

 

[scruff puppy pup]

The fans don’t want Karanka’s defensive style of football, and I don’t see Gibson the chairman ignoring that.

 

[Fat Bee Slim]

I can't wait for carvahal to get the sack from Sheff Wed. Horrible man, always comes across as a nasty, arrogant, bully who's failings can always be pinned on anything and everything except himself.

 

[the birds and the bees]

stam is on the ropes at reading, they are gunning for him , hope he stays to our game

 

[North London Bee]

Ley's hope Sheff Wed do not make a change until the new year!

 

[cheshire bee]

Sheffield Wednesday sacked manager, let’s hope not another new manager syndrome on Sat.

Why couldn't they have waited until they lost to us?

But only briefly....

Oh dear, how sad. It must have been quite a game for both managers to be sacked following it! The "Myself and my staff" also sounds like it's a Wednesday clear-out, so let's hope they don't have time in a week to reorganise.

EDIT: Lee Bullen [ex-SWFC defender and on the coaching staff] will take charge of the team for the trip to Nottingham Forest on Boxing Day and until a permanent appointment is made.

Maybe they want Smith to swap dugouts.

 

[GlasgowBee]

God Lord, no such thing as the Xmas spirit in the Championship

They will run out of replacements soon, or are they really just getting in the swing of things with their own version of musical chairs?!

 

[Jim Rourke]

I remember a team in a similar position doing the same thing about twelve months ago. Look where they are now!

 

[joebee]

Maybe they want Smith to swap dugouts.

He's been all over their boards last couple of weeks.

 

[BerksBee]

I can't wait for carvahal to get the sack from Sheff Wed.

You didn't have to wait long!

Merry Christmas!

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Yes, certainly a favourite with a lot of fans. Ex-captain and all that.

 

[Humblebee]

Dean Smith moves up to third in the longest serving manager in the Championship table.

 

[kevalutonbee]

Who is ahead? McCarthy andAN Other!

 

[wanderer paul]

Who is ahead? McCarthy andAN Other!

Clough?

 

[wanderer paul]

It’s probably one job that would interest DS, IMO.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Neil Harris?

 

[Humblebee]

Neil Harris?

Correct

 

[TW3Bee]

Dean Smith moves up to third in the longest serving manager in the Championship table.

And some Bees fans want him out.

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

Two problems with this sacking:
1. DS a former popular owl
2. in general terms, better a manager is sacked after we have played the team

 

[HertfordBee]

I reckon Dean Smith would find it very tough to turn down an approach from Sheffield Wednesday. I've always thought that would be a favoured destination for him.

(A bit like when Martin Allen denied that he said he would 'walk all the way to Bristol for the manager's job at City' ... stopping off on the way for interviews at Reading, Oxford, Cheltenham, etc, etc, etc!!!)

 

[grutter]

Has this ever happened before? Both managers sacked directly after their teams played each other?

 

[Humblebee]

I reckon Dean Smith would find it very tough to turn down an approach from Sheffield Wednesday. I've always thought that would be a favoured destination for him

But would they consider him, as he has never taken a club up from the Championship, or managed in the Premier League? And they are a big club, after all.......

..........will they take Gary Monk????..........

 

[wanderer paul]

Neil Harris?

Smith beats Clough by a week! lol

 

[seanrs]

..........will they take Gary Monk????..........

Karanka is the early favourite according to the Express

 

[seanrs]

If the injury list at Wednesday is as bad as was said on C5 last night, then whoever takes over could have a right result when all the players are back

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

..........will they take Gary Monk????..........

Monk to Wednesday and Carvahal to Boro, apparently.

 

[sonofabee]

I think Monk is a decent manager and Swansea got it wrong sacking him.

 

[scruff puppy pup]

Daniel Farke, Steve Cotterill and Jaap Stam all on shaky ground.

One of these Championship clubs should give Paul Hurst of Shrewsbury a chance.
He's clearly a manager who gets the players to respond to him.

 

[scruff puppy pup]

Monk to Wednesday and Carvahal to Boro, apparently.

Try Pulis to 'Boro and you'd be closer to the mark.

 

[King Bee]

I think Monk is a decent manager and Swansea got it wrong sacking him.

I think Monk without Pep might be the problem...

 

[Bigbee]

Farke Off

 

[halibutbee64]

Farke Off

Yes they don't believe in the Christmas spirit in The Championship do they?

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

Is this true, or have you just seen the Get West London headline which I think was just one of their New Year predictions? Haven't seen it reported elsewhere.
