The Manager Sacked/Hired Thread 2022/23

[Kenny]

Talk of Poch being in talks though

Chelsea fans do not like that

 

[Johnny75]

Kompany on the shortlist at Chelsea.

I think he goes to Spurs.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

In days gone by you'd have to do a lot more than win the Championship (albeit very convincingly) to get the chance of a job at Chelsea or Spurs.

Hoddle got the Chelsea job after winning the playoffs

And that was mainly as he was still playing and was the best footballer in the league.

 

[Tony Towner]

It's star name power. His record at Anderlecht was meh, I'd want to see more if I was a Sky 6 team

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Actually Ossie Ardiles was even luckier to get the Spurs job!

Appalling at Newcastle and nearly sent them to the third tier, won the third tier playoffs with Albion, lands that gig. Madness.

Proper old skool "he knows the club"

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

He genuinely played 3-2-5 at the start of 94/95. Dumitrescu, Barmby, Anderton (when he was just a winger, not a pass and pointer), Sheringham and Klinsmann all in the same team.

Amazed that Tory Sugar let that slide for more than one game.

Bit harsh it was his first job.

He's done well to change the style completely at Burnley and hasn't just played good football but obliterated the opposition.

As Hoddle was player manager, did Chelsea have to pay a fee for Hoddle?

Ahh I miss those days of player managers.

That Robbo photo is peak mid 90s

I think at the time you could poach managers and nothing happened. Hence Leicester going mental when Villa nicked Little and we nicked McGhee off them, all inside about a year.

 

[Tony Towner]

Maybe, no argument about the job he's done, but if wasn't who he is that wouldn't get him in the conversation for Chelsea

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Peter Shirtliff was very briefly player/manager for us.

I do remember calls for Bully to be player/manager when McGhee got sacked. Imagine.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

I can only imagine good things with Bully as manager.

 

[Keef]

That photos giving off huge Alan partridge vibes

I don't rate Enrique at all, he's only ever had success with literally the best front three in the entire history of Barcelona. His Spain teams were shit.

His one season at Roma was decent fwiw.

 

[Templeton Peck]

Yep. If Chris Wilder was Burnley boss this season no chance he gets linked with top 6 jobs. Instead there'd be lots of talk of going to a low to mid level club to prove himself first.

 

[Kenny]

Kevin Phillips has quit South Shields after getting them promoted.

Presume has a better job lined up. Walsall maybe?

Is that a better job?
