Managerial Thread 2016 / 2017

[Low End Bee]

I try not to judge other teams sackings. From the outside (and some on here!) many thought it was madness when Andy Scott was sacked. Then there's the hindsight of Rosler and Warburton.
Still upset about Bill Dodgin though.
Watford having a conveyor belt of managers seems to have worked for them though. Southampton are used to it too.

Too true. I know a Soton fan very well and he reckons they all want Puel out, and have done for some time - no confidence in him at all.

Watford having a conveyor belt of managers seems to have worked for them though. Southampton are used to it too.

Yeah, but sooner or later you're going to get it wrong, in which case you need to take remedial action immediately.

We did that with Marinus, maybe Watford/Soton should have done the same with Mazzarri/Puel well before now?

 

[Humblebee]

Southampton's manager, Puel, under the spotlight too, it seems. Les Reed conducting a review into the season.

Makes you wonder what these Clubs - Watford & Southampton - expect from their Manager? If they believe top 6 or 7 - qualify for Europe - then they need to realise it's a tough League!

They seem to have completely unrealistic expectations, as do so many foreign owners. But then I suppose they are only in it for the money, and can see what phenomenal amounts are earned by those teams which qualify for Europe.

Why Sack Dodgin?

Remember that graffiti was stillon that wall years later.

I wouldn't be surprised if SW get shot of Carlos Carvalhal after last nights result.

Alan Pardew's name has been mentioned.

Lambert on his way from Wolves? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39896628

The local rag has it that Aitor Karanka is "hot favourite" to succeed him, if he should go:

That'll work wonders for Season Ticket sales...

Keith Hill has just signed a new 5 year contract with Rochdale! Funny as I was sure he was still at Barnsley.............

Nope! That's Jimmy Hill

David Moyes leaves Sunderland.

 

[Invipai]

Moyes has resigned....which is probably good for us as I only think he would have done so if he wasn't promised decent funding. I think the club are preparing to land in the Championship rather than 'go again'.

I dunno.....I reckon he'd probably still get decent offers and he'll probably be back at a top level club before too long (whether here or abroad).
Not beyond the realms of possibility he'd take a payday and go to China for a bit.

Scotland manager role available soon,

 

[Stanley]

No surprise about Moyes, couldn't see him slumming it in the Championship to be honest.

 

[Delbee]

Moyes didn't want to come and face the PADDOCK couldn't stand the thought of the abuse he would get

Last time he was here he accused the Wendy House of throwing bottles at his players.

They would never do that

Well not full ones!

Depends what you've filled them with.

It looked like Tizer but probably tasted a wee bit nicer!

Blimey if my pish looked like Tizer I'd be down to A&E!

Harry Kewell appointed manager at Crawley Town!

Sam Allardyce leaving Palace. Sunderland bound do you think?

Sam Allardyce leaving Palace. Sunderland bound do you think?

Bizarre, thought he ended up doing a decent job after a wobbly start

 

[Les Beeavinu]

His choice. Sounds like they weren't going to give him enough money.

 

[North London Bee]

Suspect he saw the writing on the wall. I don't think his American masters were quite as enamoured of what he has achieved as he was

 

[Judio1999]

Hope Allardyce does not repeat a Pullis and ask for the Loyalty Bonus for keeping them up ???

 

[North London Bee]

Suspect he has earned one as long as it did not specify that he had to remain in post until the new season!

 

[scruff puppy pup]

My understanding was that both they and Allardyce shared a similar passion for things like ProZone, player diagnostics, and that he was far more to their liking than Pardew.
I'm genuinely surprised he's leaving. I would think it's the perfect platform for Allardyce and Palace to push on and build something decent there.

Should add, if it wasn't for that *****/crook Cellino, Allardyce would be the perfect manager for Leeds United.
Genuinely big club in need of awakening; fans don't care much about playing style, just want a return to the top flight.

http://www.crawleytownfc.com/news/article/2016-17/harry-kewell-head-coach-3720057.aspx

Unless there's some uptick in investment in the playing staff, I would tip them to be relegation candidates next season.
And that was before appointing Kewell.

Is that confirmed? Nothing on BBC website.

What? He's going on Strictly? Who's going to be Ginger Rodgers?

Cellino has sold up now

 

[sonofabee]

I reckon he's earned his big bonus and sees no point in staying somewhere he's not really wanted. He was the Red Adair they needed but he's better off oop North and reckon a return to Sunderland is made for him.

 

[sonofabee]

Sorry just seen but not before I posted similar.

[Bill Benn]

If Sam is true to his word fair play to him,as he says at 62 he is still fit and young enough to travel and enjoy life out of football.I expect he will pop up on the tv though as a pundit to top up the travel pot.

He apparently got a 10 Million bonus for keeping Palace up. Don't think he needs to top it up!

Blimey not bad for 6 months work

I know owners would probably look at it from a risk and reward point of view but if that is true then that is truly nuts
