The Manager Sacked/Hired Thread 2015/16

[Deutsch Wolf]

I wouldn't touch Charlton with a ten foot barge pole personally. They are a mess.

Likewise. Fans in open revolt, no say in who you sign, endless substandard dross brought in from Europe to pad the squad out, Roger Johnson still contracted for next season, owner and CEO have no respect for the welfare of the club...complete hospital pass of a job. They're more likely to follow Blackpool than anything else.

Wilder walked out of Oxford to go to Northampton when Oxford were in the same league and from memory higher up at the time so he has form for unusual moves

 

[FrankMunro-371]

I think Northampton were in the bottom two when he took over. He has certainly turned the club around.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

He seems to have had relative success everywhere he's been, and his Northampton side look to play decent football from highlights I've seen.

Teams to finish the season with a different manager from when the campaign kicked off:

Premier League: 6 (Liverpool, Chelsea, Swansea, Sunderland, Newcastle, Aston Villa)

Championship: 12 (Derby, Brentford, Leeds, Nottingham Forest, Blackburn, Reading, Bristol City, Huddersfield, Fulham, Rotherham, Charlton, Bolton)

League One: 11 (Burton, Walsall, Barnsley, Scunthorpe, Peterborough, Swindon, Oldham, Chesterfield, Fleetwood, Doncaster, Colchester)

League Two: 11 (Leyton Orient, Cambridge, Luton, Hartlepool, Notts County, Stevenage, Yeovil, Crawley, Newport, Dagenham, York)

43.5% of top 4 league managers - suspect that is probably par for the course

Chris Wilder not going to Charlton but there is interest from elsewhere according to the Northampton chairman.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Would people be happy with him arriving at Wolves as a replacement for Jackett?

 

[Lupo]

Roberto Di Matteo has suddenly been installed as odds on favourite for the poisoned chalice at Villa

Not sure tbh. His record is decent, he's obviously done a fantastic job with Northampton but a 15 year managerial career and next season will be the first he's ever spent above League Two?

I would have liked him with us..good manager

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Nigel Adkins gone at the Blades.

Nigel Adkins gone at the Blades.

Wilder replacing him

 

[MARKakaJIM]

de Boer tagged out of Ajax.

 

[Nando]

Martinez gone.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Surprised - I thought he had done a PHENOMENAL job

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Had to go. They're just bereft of any defensive shape and organisation and there's nothing on his CV that says he'll sort it out. To have them hovering just above Albion and Bournemouth with that squad is obscenely shit.

Only Villa have won fewer home games and they've picked up 18 points from 19 games since Boxing Day.

Only Villa have won fewer home games and they've picked up 18 points from 19 games since Boxing Day.

And we picked up 21 points from our last 20 games and keep the manager. Speaks volumes

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Our manager should have gone long ago. However unlike Martinez he doesn't have one of Europe's best strikers up front, expectations are wildly different. Everton and Wolves isn't a remotely viable comparison point.

What you can say is that plenty of teams who finished immediately above and below us in mid-table in the Championship sacked their manager this season and we didn't, which tells you where our club is in terms of being content going nowhere.

Would anyone be opposed to Paul Cook or Nigel Adkins at this point? I wake up every morning expecting to see news of Jackett being fucked off, yet here we are.
