Managerial Thread 2018 / 2019

[Invipai]

They want someone to unify fans and the club, the fans preferred option will be listened to IMO.

DS's position here is under question, until they pursue someone else actively.

 

[IDontBeeLieveIt]

Countdown to first DS rumour begins.....give it five minutes....

 

[malvernbee]

Bruce sacked!

Always in a pickle once a cabbage is thrown.

 

[whyteleafebee76]

Some bloke on Talksport has indeed just mentioned Dean Smith........here we go again!

Slacking. That was all of 18 minutes......

 

[JCMcBee]

...i doubt bookies would offer 6/1 if they thought DS was in line for the brief....job will go to a 'name'

 

[GP200]

............another nice payoff?????........,,.

 

[Judio1999]

Top 3 at bookies


Dean Smith
Thierry Henry
John Terry

Am I the only one wondering how/why someone took a cabbage into a football ground?

Did they smuggle it in? Rebus has previously alluded to how flares are smuggled into the ground. If the same approach was used here, the guy is/has a massive a**ehole...

 

[Les Beeavinu]

JUst on the bigger picture here though, Villa probably getting someone half decent in isn't great news.

This is getting serious.

For in the absence of any other crime in the West Midlands area,

"West Midlands Police hunt man who hurled cabbage towards Aston Villa manager Steve Bruce"

Seems the next step in their investigation is to hold an identity parade....

I think it was Harry Kale.

Someone threw it from outside the ground over the stands perfectly into an accomplices waiting hands... Must be. Or Scott Hogan smuggled it in to give to the cabbage hitman

Macclesfield Town have parted company with manager Mark Yates following their winless start to the League Two season.

 

[the birds and the bees]

reading must due to sack paul clement soon .how is he still hanging on

 

[Invipai]

I'm not sure Reading will do any better whoever they bring in, a poor squad that's been going backwards. We all knew that they weren't play-off material two seasons ago, but the club owners probably read more into it the other way and believed they were better than they were. It was obvious they were about to slide majorly but they sleepwalked into it consequently.

They've got a lot to sort out, and it's probably a bigger job than simply changing the manager or a couple of players. I had them to go down before the season started and I'm sticking to that. Preston should pull away at some point, as I think will Millwall....that doesn't leave too many others down there.

 

[North London Bee]

Clement has probably done just enough to keep his job for a bit longer.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

I'm quite surprised just how bad a manager he has been though. He was hit property not too long ago.

 

[TW3Bee]

Wasn't he one of the names mentioned to replace Warbs?

 

[North London Bee]

Looks like he’s another exceptional number two who can’t make the jump to manager.

Just highlights the different skills required in the top job

 

[GP200]

..............apparently Villa have a new manager...............

Was it their 6th choice? lol

Crikey! Fifteen days without an update, is that a record?

Anyhow, after five months and one win in fourteen League games, Paul Hurst has got the old heave-ho from Ipswich:

...Darren Moore seriously under pressure at WBA.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Paul Hurst as assistant please.

Madness.

 

[North London Bee]

He will be a prime candidate for the next Division One vacancy. I can see Bradford City binning off Hopkin very soon and begging Hurst to take over. I wonder if coming to Brentford as a number two would be seen as a retrograde step?

Depends whether it's sold to him as a succession role.

Well worth a shout. Interesting that two excellent candidates in Hurst and Appleton are now both available and twiddling their thumbs

TF had better look out. Hursts win percentage is currently better than his

Ipswich Town have appointed former Norwich City and Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert as manager.

That’s them gone then

Jokanovic can't have much longer, surely? rofl

 

[TW3Bee]

Doing a great job.

A lot of their fans wanted him out when they list at GP last season.

 

[North London Bee]

Too much player movement in the Summer - a bit like us in 2015.

He has no idea what his best team is and the squad has not gelled.

Recipe for total disaster particularly if the players hang him out to dry.

He's never been a popular boss by all accounts but regarded as smart, driven and a winner. That's fine when you're successful but usually means less loyalty when things go wrong. Lose against Liverpool and suspect that he may be in an untenable position although still think that squad has the skill to get clear of the drop zone, question is do they have the heart and will?

 

[Delbee]

I think we are getting near to the rehearsal of KNESS UP MOTHER BROWN

Hope he stays until they go down.

And down and down........

Thing is i rate him as a manager. Just too much player movment.

I agree he's an excellent manager, got Watford promoted and then them, not sure how much say he has in the new signings remember couple of seasons back it all kicked off over there about who was responsible and someone got kicked out but seems like maybe it wasn't sorted out after all

 

[HertfordBee]

Falling like nine-pins now. Phil Brown yesterday, Neal Ardley this morning.

Ardley left by mutual consent rather than a sacking, did cross my mind that he might be atttacted to the Brentford project ????

After the weekend's result he hinted he was going to agree to leave as he thought it was the best thing to do for the club. He may be attracted but I'm not sure he's someone we'd be tracking down.
