The Manager Sacked/Hired Thread 2017/18

[Lupo]

That Blues statement... right direction :icon_lol:

I think a visit to SHA is in order later...

No surprise Carvahal sacked by Wednesday,

Yes I think it was expected. Less than 24 hours ago Carvahal and Monk faced each other at Hillsborough, now they have both left their respective clubs.

 

[Trips]

Ignoring final games of a season, struggling to think of a time where both managers in a game have been sacked or left following that match. Must have happened before, but struggling to think of an occasion.

Sky Sources - Monk sacked due to concerns about style of play

Also from Sky Sources - Boro in talks with Pulis

No matter which way I look at that it makes no sense at all.

 

[Alan]

Was it Pulis or Allardyce that weirdly started playing decent, on-the-floor football at Crystal Palace?

 

[YoungWolf]

Under Pulis Palace were surprisingly a good counter attacking team. He made good use of Zaha and Bolasie. So when he left and then joined West brom it seemed like had progressed his style but nope, if anything he went even further backwards than he had been at Stoke..

 

[AndyWolves]

Is pulis just using the tools he has?

Is pulis just using the tools he has?

Initially, I suppose but he's been given more than enough money (by Stoke and West Brom) not to play football that makes your eyes bleed surely.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Reports suggest that Pulis will be announced as Middlesbrough manager in the next couple of days. I wonder how he will adapt to the Championship?

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Well that was quick. Middlesbrough have announced the appointment of Tony Pulis as manager.

 

[Kenny]

Carvalhal to Swansea by the looks of it.

Done deal according to SSN

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Crikey.

Really not sure about that move.

 

[The Bear]

Fails at Sheff Wed so gets a PL job.

Bizarre indeed.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Could be a case of no-one any good wanting it. They're starting to get cut adrift and if there's nothing to spend next month then they are 100% doomed as that is a woeful squad.

Still though, how you have a horrible season at a well-funded Championship club, get sacked and walk into a PL job a week later makes no sense.

 

[Boozad]

Bizarre all round. Bet the Swansea fans are chuffed to fuck.

Very little about football managerial appointments makes sense to me. It's the only profession in which a CV filled with dismal and repeated failure seems to have no effect whatsoever on the prospects of securing a similar position. I genuinely cannot comprehend the mindset of those who make these decisions. Even our own ultra-pragmatic Fosun managed to appoint Zenga, albeit in mitigating circumstances, and Lambert, who was never going to deliver what they wanted. At least they realized the error of their ways in short order. Clearly, anyone who is half-decent at the job is unlikely to be unemployed in the foreseeable, so it's a very small pool to fish in, but surely the way to go is to look for someone worthy in a lower division or another country, rather than give an unemployed incompetent another opportunity to underachieve. Has one of these merry-go-round appointments ever gone on to achieve anything approaching long-term success? I can't think of one offhand.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Rodgers -> Laudrup -> Monk -> Curtis -> Guidolin -> Bradley -> Clement -> Carvalhal

That's some slide. They'll be on to their hometown hero at this rate.

 

 

[Lupo]

Oh to be a football manager.

Sacked for failing and given a bumper pay off then walking into another job, in a higher league with probably a higher salary, less than a week later.

Nice work
