The Manager Sacked/Hired Thread 2015/16

[Tony Towner]

I think it's his defence mechanism every time he gets sacked. It's like the person evicted from a reality show that shouts "yes"

Neil Warnock in charge at Rotherham until the end of the season.

How did Pearson underachieve?

Thought he should have been promoted with Leicester a year earlier, should have walked the league even more the year they did go up, had a huge stretch in the Prem when they inexplicably were awful despite good form to kick things off and blazing form since then.

I've said as much before and I stand by it.

They almost broke the points record FFS! They were unstoppable the year they went up. And they survived. Pearson is no underachiever. He would be in a good job but unfortunately there is no cure for being a cunt.

He could eat babies in the dugout for all I care, I'd love him at Wolves

Exactly.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Compared to our current situation, I have to agree. However, Pearson's psychopathy tells you it wouldn't be a particularly long term gig. Would be entertaining while it lasted though.

Kilmarnock apoint Lee Clark as new manager on a three and a half year deal. Why do these comedians keep getting jobs within football.

Obviously dazzled them with his bright and bubbly personality.

Calling Killie a 'job within football' is a bit of a stretch.

That's ridiculously harsh?

They lost in the playoffs after only securing sixth on the final day at Forest and finished 11 points behind Watford?

An excellent piece on Van Gaal.

Quite a few parallels to Kenny Jackett there as well...

An interesting read. Maybe LVG had gone past his best when Manchester United brought him in. Even the best of managers reach a point when they are no longer so successful, or able to influence things on the pitch.

Good article, though it annoyed me how unnecessarily littered it was with big words trying to look clever.

Maybe? He was over the hill and down the other side with Holland.

Good piece on Pep Guardiola.

Talk growing stronger that Antonio Conte will get the Chelsea job next season.
