The Manager Sacked/Hired Thread 2017/18

[Deutsch Wolf]

I'm actually surprised by that. I assume it his choice rather than theirs, because he would have been perfect for helping them back up.

Not sure he would, he's not a very good manager.

Nope - they have sacked him by the look of it. Another rancid Sunderland decision in the books. Bizarre. And bizarre timing really. Might as well have let him finish the season.

They asked a question on this on talksport a few days ago. Is the real Chris Coleman the man taking Wales to the semi-final of the Euros, or is it the man completely impotent to save Sunderland.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

One had Gareth Bale, the other one didn't

He was horrendous at Coventry.

 

[Boozad]

He’s done.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I suspect that Gareth Bale may well have had a little bit to do with our run!

Ahhhh - and now it sounds like Ellis Short has sold Sunderland, and presumably the new owners want Coleman binned.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Yep, takeover is all but done.

He's really not a good manager at all, Sunderland are well shot.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Emotional return for Mick?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

That is a blinding shout. Mick would destroy league one.

 

[Tredman]

I always thought they weren't keen on Mick up there? He'd be perfect for them though.

 

[Hereford Wolf]

They're not very keen on MM on the Sunderland Forum.

I would of thought it would be a great shout.

 

[Keef]

Wouldn't be in the least surprised to see Coleman at the Albion or Everton,chairman will be blinded by what he did for Wales and ignore the fact he's crap.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

He won't go to Everton. Not a chance. Albion would be moderately amusing though.

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

That Wales team should never have made the semi-finals but the success they had wasn't down to Coleman being a good manager. The run he had in the Euro's was an anomaly helped massively by the fact he had Bale in the team. He's an average League One manager at best.

Hopefully Sunderland can sort themselves out now and get back up at the first attempt like we did.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

It's the way it goes sometimes in tournaments. England weren't particularly good in 1990 or 1996, for instance.

Very fortunate to beat Slovakia
Deservedly lost to England (only team to do so)
Beat a very poor Russian team
Sneaked past Northern Ireland in extra time in a League One quality match
Excellent against Belgium
Well beaten by Portugal

He had the last of the money granted to any Coventry managers and one of the ways in which he totally wasted it was by handing us not far off what we'd paid for Freddy Eastwood after he'd scored a mighty three goals for us. He's in part complicit for the terrible decline they've suffered (the bulk of it being on the owners, of course).

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Hard to argue with any of that. His best match for Wales was the brilliant performance against Belgium, but whether that was because of or despite of is a matter of debate.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

If Albion appoint anyone apart from Darren Moore they would be silly.

 

[Parkins left foot]

If Albion appoint anyone apart from Darren Moore they would be silly.

He clearly is steeped in their culture & has done well so far - good chance at a lower level to prove himself

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Difficult one really. He's done an excellent job in the short term but some caretakers do that, Trevor Brooking is statistically West Ham's best ever manager. He's very new to coaching and the issue for Albion is that if you go straight back up, relegation needn't be a disaster. Get stuck for longer than a couple of years and it seriously wrecks you as a club. They absolutely need to be targeting the top two next season, I don't think anyone could say with anything other than blind faith that Darren Moore is going to deliver that.
