Managerial Thread 2016 / 2017

[aawharris]

It would seem that failure is quite lucrative for some managers.

And for teams dropping out of the Prem too

 

[wanderer paul]

Does he have to pay back his severance pay

He wasn't sacked last time, he left for Newcastle United. So no severance pay involved. :scratch:

 

[gamidov]

Bruce has gone to Villa.....

 

[JumboJet]

Jobs for the boys again !!! Every time a manager goes it's the same old faces turning up.

Very proud that Brentford don't follow that blueprint

He made such a hash of their promotion push a couple of seasons ago, that it just seems beyond ridicule to re-appoint him. He's in the equivalent of the Old Boys network, as you say, I'm glad we don't follow that model. Can't imagine the fans are happy.

 

[ruislip bee]

McLaren now Confirmed.???

I just don't understand why anyone would appoint him. I wouldn't trust him with a Sunday side.

 

[hanworthbee]

Although in recent years McClaren hasn't been a success his record isn't that bad.Won the league cup with Boro, won the Dutch title with Twente...plenty out there worse than that but seems a very odd choice at Derby and would be an interesting read on their messageboards.

As for Villa Steve Bruce is a good choice for them.

Maybe there isn't anyone else to take on a Championship team?

Agree about Bruce. Experience of getting out of this league in the right direction. I expect Villa to start doing better.

I just feel a more far-sighted approach would be to have appointed someone who could build a future, whereas with Steve Bruce I expect, yes maybe he will get them promoted, I mean they are the second biggest club in this division, but then if his record is anything to go by they will be relegation candidates once they get to the Premiership. I wish they'd gone with David Moyes at the start of the season, I predicted Di Matteo was the wrong choice on the basis that he has no experience of rebuilding. And before anyone says about Moyes and Sunderland, I'll say as I always do: Sunderland is a manager's graveyard. Allardyce might have proved the exception, but something like the last seven or eight managers there have all struggled.

Hardly and exception he kept them up on the last game of the season, so did struggle.

 

[teejay46]

You would think that there were only a certain number of managers available the way the merry-go-round just keeps regurgitating the same old names, whether they have been successful or not in the past.

 

[The Walrus]

:no: Sacked...

As I expect he will be again in the not too distant future.

 

[TW1Bee]

Just seen Woy H walking across Richmond bridge (lives in St Margarets ). Hands in pockets and had the air of man who's just come out of the job centre looking for a job. Oh hang on.....

 

[Wouldbee]

Personally I think he'll be too worried about what the fat lass has done with Casper to take the job...

Don't worry .He's got his HAIR ISLLANNNNDDD, His HAAIIIR ISLANNNNND.

 

[Gee Bee]

Some bookies have suspended betting on Conte leaving Chelsea

 

[Stanley]

Wrexham sack manager Mills. Is that the complete set for Wales now?

 

[scruff puppy pup]

I've mentioned Alan Devonshire many times, on this thread, wondering why he's yet to manage a league outfit, even suggested him in the past for Brentford manager.
His Maidenhead side are doing very well, lead the National League South by five points, won their last four.

[malvernbee]

Only his legend status must be keeping Neil Harris in a job ?

 

[scruff puppy pup]

Seeing as Kenny Jackett is currently unemployed.....

 

[Darren J]

Alan Stubbs sacked according to SSN. Only one win this season

Blimey, that side must've been sh*t to lose to them.....

 

[Gee Bee]

Set up for Steve Evans return maybe?

 

[Bagman]

Set up for Steve Evans return maybe?

Kenny Jackett has emerged as the front-runner to replace sacked Alan Stubbs as manager of Rotherham United.

 

[Buzzettesfriend]

Kenny Jackett has emerged as the front-runner to replace sacked Alan Stubbs as manager of Rotherham United.

He'll be strong in League 1 next season.

 

[bees66]

Seeing as Kenny Jackett is currently unemployed.....

[GP200]

[Bagman]

Kenny Jackett appointed new Rotherham United manager ahead of Reading clash.

 

[kempy]

Sounds like our friend Karl Robinson is on borrowed time!!

 

[TW3Bee]

Sounds like our friend Karl Robinson is on borrowed time!!

Close to a second consecutive relegation.

 

[ChertseyBee]

Sounds like our friend Karl Robinson is on borrowed time!!

Just listened to his interview after the game, what a drama queen!

Wolves sack Walter Zenga.

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

Wolves sack Walter Zenga.

Merry go round... Robinson to Wolves, Zenga to Milton Keynes.

 

[Wouldbee]

Merry go round... Robinson to Wolves, Zenga to Milton Keynes.

Zenga was such a bonkers appointment it was inevitable but wasn't expecting him to be sacked so early??

 

[kevalutonbee]

Four defeats in five. Just remind me who the win was against

Just like Stubbs at Rovrum. It appears beating us does not guarantee job security

 

[Manchester_Bee]

Clubs like wolves make me so greatful we have Sir Matthew.

 

[Isleworth_Bee]

SSN could repeat that enough when announcing it.

 

[hanworthbee]

he must be a very rich man thanks to being rubbish at management, this must be his 15th sacking

 

[Bill Benn]

Wigan dump Caldwell,at this rate DS will be the longest serving manager by Xmas

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Clubs like wolves make me so greatful we have Sir Matthew.

Hmm.. Last year?

 

[Letchbee]

Big Sam to Wolves.

 

[TW3Bee]

Dean Smith up to 43rd longest serving manager.

 

[NorthamptonBee]

Zenga I get, mad as hell and the fit looked awkward from the outside, Caldwell is bang out of order and another sh*tty thing happening at a sh*tty little club. He deserved a bit of loyalty after that run that got them up last season IMO.

I was surprised to hear this one which is a truly bonkers decision.

It is symptomatic of Bertie Big Bollox attitude in that Wigan feel they should be tearing up the Championship as a matter of right.

They've started OK and will be fine. Some patience was needed as well as an understanding of the rise in standards they are facing this season.

Paper talk suggesting Giggs may be interested in Wigan

Does his Brother live near by lol
