The Manager Sacked/Hired Thread 2019/20

[Boozad]

Dalian Yifang it's looking like.

Please please employ Pulis. That would be utterly fucking hilarious.

 

[Dire Wolf]

A lot of sackcloth and ashes and woe is me in Geordieland tonight... it's fucking ace!

Now for some news that has come from nowhere...

Chelsea have been given permission to speak to Frank Lampard about their vacant manager's job.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Chelsea given permission to speak to Lampard.

There's a heck of a lot of love for Rafa in all this

 

[Dire Wolf]

The Geordies all believe that no other manager on the planet could have kept Newcastle from relegation with Ashley as the owner.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Rafa is a decade on from his decent achievements. It's a cult of personality because he engages with the fans at any club he manages so they love him.

I am sure the same will happen in China (while he still keeps his monster pad on the Wirral, obvs)

 

[White Wolf]

I still don't get their obsession with him and that constant assertion by Newcastle fans that they are complete underdogs with a squad that would apparently have been relegated without Benitez (no it wouldn't). His spend is similar to Pardew's and he has a worse PPG when it comes to Prem games too (1.32 v 1.21).

My Newcastle supporting mate told me yesterday that they spent less than Huddersfield in both of the last 2 seasons, and to finish 10th and 13th was a miracle. He attributes the love to how he "has embraced the city and held the city together while the club has been fucked by Ashley"

Current bun reporting lampards a done deal to chelski


Got me thinking that he will go from managing a group of players who respect him for his achievements in football, to managing a bunch of prima donas who know they can get him sacked if he takes their sweets of them.

It's a tough one

 

[White Wolf]

Makes sense for Lampard though. Ultimately if he gets sacked at Chelsea then he can just say it was a very difficult situation and I'm sure he would get another job in the Championship.

Stay at Derby and have a poor season then his stock is low and Chelsea won't come calling again. There isn't that much risk his end.

 

[Deleted Cyber]

With the transfer ban he should register again as a player!

 

[Newbridge Wolf]

Maybe, I'd prefer to back myself with my team that had played for me rather than jump ship for a payday sacking which is what Chelski will be (surely he earnt enough during his playing days)

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Championship or Champions League? I totally understand if Frank goes for it.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Looks like Forest have sacked O'Neill

 

[Kenny]

Oddball club

 

[Tony Towner]

I wonder if he's been knifed by Keane?
