The Manager Sacked/Hired Thread 2014/15

It's what might save them is that the bottom five are so fucking shit, I think it'll be between QPR and Villa for the final relegation spot, Leicester look hopeless and Burnleys run of fixtures is awful.

 

[Boozad]

And still is.

But he made a shit manager. Being a highly regarded coach means fuck all when it comes to management.

And Sherwood did OK at Spurs, won half of his games in his time there which is by no means shit. And as I said, showed signs of learning quickly, and importantly got Adebayor to play consistently well which no one else seems capable of.

Sherwood's a bit of a simpleton in my opinion, all his Spurs team ever did was play 442 with as many attacking players as possible and flood the box at every opportunity, it wasn't pretty and they were easily found out by the better sides but at least it provided the fans with a bit more entertaininment and they had enough talent in those attacking players to overpower a lot of the lesser sides.

Villa haven't got the flair of Spurs by any means but in someone like Benteke they've got someone who can change games when things are going his way, piling forward and chuking it into the box whenever possible should certainly see some improvement from him so it could be enough for now.

 

[Carrotdude]

I agree, I think he'll give them enough of a lift to keep them up but not sure long term that he'll have much impact.

All we need is for Ipswich to fall away now and we can make the play offs...

Wonder who's made that decision, is Warburton in line to take up a new job in the summer or have Brentford decided to look elsewhere?

Seems a little odd from either side to be fair, can't see any reason why Brentford would want to get rid of him and likewise can't see any clear openings come summer that are going to be massively better for him, lined up for QPR possibly?

From what is out there, this is all Brentford led. Wanting to step up to the next level ala Southampton when they binned Nigal Adkins

The Chairman is seeking a new manager/coach to take them to the next level. According to reports Warburton was offered significant funds for signings in January but refused to make any on the basis that it would upset the balance of his squad. There was a good debate with a Brentford fan on 606 on Saturday night who was trying to defend the club/owners position.

Yep. Benham, being a blue sky thinking kind of bellend, reckons they should have specialised set piece coaches and pay much more attention to sport science, presumably because he has seen it working well somewhere else and just wants to copy it. Warburton has said he coaches how he wants and it doesn't seem to be going too badly, so keep your beak out. Result = end of job.

If he wants a new direction then fair enough but I can't get my ahead around the timing of it all. Seriously could unsettle the club as they go into the last 15 games on the verge of the Play Offs. One reasoning I can think of for preparing to announce it now, is if they do go up he won't look like an utter cunt for binning the man that has taken them from Lg1 to the Prem in less than 2 seasons.

Tbf I don't think they were going to make the playoffs anyway, that top six as it stands looks fairly inked in to me now. Norwich and Watford are much improved from where they were 2-3 months ago (or if you like, are now starting to reach the levels that they should have been capable of all season given the strength of their squads), Bournemouth aren't going to mess up enough to miss the top six completely, most would say Middlesbrough and Derby are the two best footballing teams in the league, Mick should get Ipswich in the top six from where they are, knowing what we know of him I'd trust him. We could upset the applecart I suppose if we went on another really good run but I don't think we will.

To me it is strange stuff because while I'd never go down the Frank road of defending dreadful managers with abysmal records at all costs, you don't really want to be changing managers unless you have to. Put simply there is far too high a failure rate across the board when you appoint a new guy, no matter what due diligence you put in place. You can make an appointment which on the face of it makes perfect sense and should be a definite upgrade with an eye on the long term future, only for it to fail horribly. I'm looking at you here Mr McGhee.
