The Manager Sacked/Hired Thread 2023/24

[Alan]

Mark Hughes sacked by Bradford. That's him done for good surely.

This is exactly the type of dipshit I expect Charlotte to hire when we get rid of Lattanzio tbh.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Paddy wanted us to get him in late 2012 when we were struggling under Solbakken.

Of course we just went and got a worse Welsh manager.

You see a Tweet from Watford about the manager and think "another one sacked"...but not this time

Club Statement: Valérien Ismaël

Head Coach Valérien Ismaël has signed an extended contract with Watford FC, the club is pleased to confirm.

And are currently losing 2-0 at Sunderland.

He had Stoke looking actually okay for a minute before the wheels came off IIRC. Don't think I've heard him come up in a positive context since.

He was a decent manager with Wales and Blackburn. Fulham to a point too though he got a bit weird with wanting water bottles to point the right way and started his strange handshake stuff. Out of his depth at City and appalling at QPR.

He did the transition from Pulis well enough at Stoke but we totally broke his team when we beat them in the cup. Just shocking form after that (all got PTSD from Doherty scoring a free kick against them I reckon).

Replaced by (temporarily at least) our own ex-wolf, Kevin McDonald

Kevin McDonald in as temporary player/manager.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Neil Harris sacked by Gillingham, seems a bit harsh, they're 8th and only 1 point behind Wimbledon in 2nd.

Football seems bonkers at times .

 

[Alan]

Something happen behind the scenes? Totally bizarre on the surface of it.

 

[Del Woppio]

I got stuck in a bit of a Twitter replies hole on him earlier, apparently the football is dogshit and with their relative attacking strength they're spawning and boring their way to results that aren't particularly sustainable.

Sounds quite familiar

Stoke just seem cursed. I guess they should stop appointing ropey managers though

 

[prawnking]

They've had more than their fair share of the top flight for a generation! Should be bobbing around between Champ and L1 anyway, for me

They're very much a portent for us if Fosun properly gave up and turned us into a ghost ship of a club. The object rebuttal to "the Championship is more fun ya nor".

Brings back memories of our bloke citing Neil as one of his top managerial influences!

Wayne Rooney has left his role as D.C. United head coach after 15 months.

Wonder where he’ll end up?

There were rumours of him going to Blues the other week though that was if Eustace went to Rangers

 

[Tony Towner]

He'll end up at Blues, everyone will say how unlucky Eustace is to lose his job and then he'll do badly. Classic American owner who doesn't understand football but wants a name move
