The Manager Sacked/Hired Thread 2022/23

[Johnny75]

How these people get jobs is beyond me.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I like Roy Keane's opinions but he's not a manager at all. He cannot comprehend that anyone is not as good as him as a player, and as he was genuinely world class that leaves a very narrow window.

He also has to be right more often than I do

I too like his no nonsense punditry but I think he is completely the wrong temperament for coaching/management.

Agbonlashit (I know he is a twat and was totally unprofessional but...) was just on the radio talking about when Keane was assistant to Lambert at Villa. He said Keane didn't get that the players at Villa weren't at the level of the ones he was used to at United, his methods were outdated and his attitude towards the players, how he spoke to them - rude, belittling was awful. They were all happy when he left. it doesn't surprise me at all

The feedback regarding his time at Ireland is similar.

Bruce in at the Hawthorns.

Danny Batth’s finish last week was world class!

The Albion forum is overwhelmingly meh about Bruce.
Part of the press release says " we welcome Steve as a manager with good tactical acumen, and man management skills" must be a different Steve Bruce, his son Alex is on the coaching team as well.

 

[Law's Bus]

Odds on for Albion finishing outside the playoffs now surely?

Such a strange appointment.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Chef's kiss of an appointment. They are sooooooooo fucked.

Congratulations to Albion on your promotion back to the Prem...

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

We will see. This is football prediction rather than political stuff, so I have a slightly better record.

 

[Tredman]

That slightly is doing a lot of heavy lifting

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Olympic weightlifting levels to be fair

 

[AndyWolves]

I think Bruce will do better than the last bloke

 

[Tom Hark]

But

I think Bruce will do better than the last bloke

But will Albion do better than his last team?

 

[Tredman]

Its such a strange appointment, he couldn't get Villa up with a much bigger budget and arguably better team. He's done nothing since then to suggest he's improved as a manager (he's clearly not a coach)

Well Olympic weightlifting may no longer be a thing, so...

Olympics: Boxing, weightlifting & modern pentathlon not in initial programme for Los Angeles 2028

Boxing, weightlifting and modern pentathlon have not been included on the initial programme for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, but could be added later.

Weightlifting binned because of drugs, boxing in danger because of corrupt judging. Sounds good to me.
