The Manager Sacked/Hired Thread 2014/15

[Alan]

Perez has clearly lost his marbles.

Also, Brendan Rodgers has flown to Boston to meet with Liverpool's owners. Not sure if that's just normal at this time of the year, though.

 

[Lycan]

Brentford have appointed Marinus Dijkhuizen as their new head coach. No, me neither...

As long as he's read Moneyball he'll be fine though.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Managed excelsior in Holland. That is all I know.

Think it is, I remember Dalglish mentioning it a few years ago

Not a glowing endorsement, that.

Dick Advocaat rejects the contract offer from Sunderland

Dick Advocaat rejects the contract offer from Sunderland

Not that unwise - keeping them up this season was quite possible given the other teams around.

Being any more successful next season with a full run at it - not as easy.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Wasn't it more to do with his family still being in the Netherlands?

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Sheffield United have asked Bradford City for permission to speak to Phil Parkinson about their managerial vacancy.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Permission refused outright.

 

[Kenny]

Does have a release clause though. So all depends if Utd are willing to pay.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I guess so. Committing to pay the release clause before you can even speak to the bloke though seems a bit risky. Presumably the release would only have to be paid if he agreed to go.

 

[Jolemai]

Laudrup being linked with Newcastle?

 

[Kenny]

Laudrup being linked with Newcastle?

Patrick Vieira linked today

 

[Lycan]

Dyche off to Sunderland.

 

[jd1981]

Where have you heard that?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

That would really hurt Burnley.

 

[Alan]

Would be bad business for both IMHO.
