Managerial Thread 2018 / 2019

[Humblebee]

No doubt Stoke will get a new manager/ no manager boost like most clubs do, except us of course.

 

[Brentford_till_die]

Slightly Changes the match on Saturday. Couldn’t you have waited a bit longer Potters?!

Shame he's gone before.
Was looking forward to greeting him on Saturday

 

[whyteleafebee76]

Damn, why do clubs have to sack managers just before we play them!

So that they aren't included on a thread on here.

Looks like Nathan Jones for Stoke which is ****ing sh*t timing for us.

Not much he can do in 1 training session though.

He’s as short as 1/6 to go there but I can’t see him as being their type of manager. Just don’t see Stoke going for a forward thinking but risky (risky as a small name with no top league experience) prospect like Jones. To me, more likely one of the dinosaurs with a name behind him in the betting.

Tell that to Man U players.

And Luton hopefully

All about motivation for first game, I reckon. Show me what you can do. Show me you want to play for this club. Show me why I should pick you.

Blimey you should apply for the Job.

lol Dream job, isn't it? Sign up, screw up, get paid off. Secure for life.

Aaah, the old 'rinse and repeat'...

Not necessarily. Odds on these things are often badly wrong and change in a flash. Never know.

 

[IDontBeeLieveIt]

Although it looks like he has been appointed on this occasion.

Wonder when his first day on the job will be......

He'd been gone too long...

 

[Houghton Bee]

Hopefully this begins a dramatic downward spiral for the anus of Bedfordshire culminating in them losing their league status again in a couple of seasons time

 

[jlove]

Unfortunately, assuming we let him in on Saturday to watch, their players will be playing for a place in the squad or on the transfer list.

Especially with the planning hearing for the new stadium due next week

 

[Scratchy]

"Nottingham Forest’s ambitious owner Evangelos Marinakis is aiming for the Premier League and is seriously considering sacking manager Aitor Karanka after a run of four games without victory"

That's what you call a trigger-happy club!!

He gone.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46822599

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

He gone.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46822599

That's what you get for losing to teams like Chelsea. Don't like Karanka particularly, and am a firm believer that his name was purposely made for rhyming slang, but this is ridiculous. This owner gets dafter every month.

 

[ruislip bee]

Completely mad club or should I say owner.

 

[Infatuated Bees Alter Ego]

Asked to leave .. sounds like there is a story there

I'm an Experienced Football Manager – Get Me Out of Here!

 

[HertfordBee]

Since Clough left in 1993, they’ve had more than 30 managers on a permanent and caretaker basis!!

lol

I’m with you HWB, a manager who advocates winning by attrition and by fair means or foul but Forest knew exactly what they were getting and their owners strategy or rather lack of one is mad.

 

[wanderer paul]

That’s nuts. Let’s hope Forest go pop....lol

 

[beebopalula]

Maybe no money to bring in players and players have to go ?

 

[Cham]

If Forest get Jokanavic then it's worth it imo

 

[Gee Bee]

If Forest get Jokanavic then it's worth it imo

He just turned down Stoke which suggests to me he can’t get another job just yet as he’s still being paid more not working for Fulham

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

I think Stoke bucked the trend in new manager syndrome today. There's normally an immediate, if sometimes temporary, uplift in form, as we know, but I think this may have played straight into our hands today. Imagine what would have panned out if Rowett were still in charge.... buses parked, dull game, no goals, frustration as usual with him. Instead, new manager tells his players that the shackles are now off, go and express yourselves... play the football the fans want to see, and show me why I should pick you. Open game ensues, and which team enjoys an open game more than most....?

 

[TW3Bee]

Manager of the Month curse struck again.

 

[Mikey Bee]

Not going to get into the ins and outs of what Warnock said but Gary Lineker calling him Colin made me chuckle...

 

[Wise old Bee]

Lineker takes to social media fairly regularly to pontificate about political matters, usually revea!ing that his depth of knowledge is pretty shallow. He would do well on Question Time along with political heavyweights like Nish Kumar. Didn't realise Colin had been sounding off, I am getting older and more tolerant of him recently which is worrying.

I agree, the Rowett sacking definitely worked for us. With Rowett still at the helm yesterday would have been a war of attrition which we may have won but we would not have been able to play like we did yesterday.

Often thought Lineker should stick to football commentating, none of his three comments would change under Brexit...

I think they could do a lot worse and he's got a pretty good record overall.

How often does a club legend returning to a club end up backfiring... Forest have already had their fair share of that!

True but it's not a legend fresh out of playing or with no real experience. He's experienced and done pretty well in most jobs he's had. Chances of him doing alright have got to be better than a lot of managers.

Wonder if Roy Keane will be with him too.

He's a has been. The Clough-style methods are well and truly over in football in terns of success rate.
