The Manager Sacked/Hired Thread 2022/23

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

Emery approached Mendes about the Villa job. So either he also approached him about our job and either we or Jorge said no, or he doesn't think we are as big as Villa.

Or he had a look at the Wolves job and thought what a fucking cowboy outfit it is running the club?

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Villa are currently a far better option for an ambitious manager. The sale of Grealish bailed them out of FFP issues and their owners are more interested in on-field success than running the club as a business.

Martins to Al-Gharafa, Carvahal to Celta Vigo and Liam Rosenior in at Hull

 

[Jack Regan]

I do wonder how long Potter is going to last at Chelsea. They're probably worse so far under him than they were under Tuchel.

Looks like Southampton have sacked Ralph

 

[Tony Towner]

Well he's wrecked it. I think they were the other Lopetegui option

There were rumours they were after lage, but I think that's bullshit

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

If they appoint Lage then they're 100% finishing below us (and everyone else). Sadly I doubt they will.

The owner has declared he rates Bruno but that was around the time we were challenging for the top 7

Apparently they’re all in on stats-driven blah blah blah, which I’m sure @Johnny75 will think means they’re a sure thing to fuck this up.

(Not arguing against you in this case tbc)

Haven't seen it work yet.

I'm likely wrong, but isn't Brentfords model based heavily around stats?

Not the style of play.

I believe the transfers are though. Brighton's are too.

Yeah a lot of success with analytics has shown up well in recruitment so far.

I think in terms of on the pitch it’s probably been best used on set pieces (which clubs still get wrong plenty anyway, we are woeful at attacking them).

Didn't Benham's Scandinavian club, the experiment that preceded Brentford, go in heavy on set pieces? Seem to remember reading something a while back where they put a lot of effort into them, bought in specific coaches and it actually did provide reasonable uplift in results from them.

Wait until Billy sees who's in talks to replace him

 

[Kenny]

So Ralph has gone and Luton's Nathan Jones is their number 1 target

(cue the obvious reply to this news)

 

[Kenny]

Billy? Now he has been...nope, not going there
