The Manager Sacked/Hired Thread 2023/24

[Squeak]

Bit of a downer on Rooney here isn't there? He's learning his craft the right way and sure, he's been found wanting in some regards. However, his time at Derby showed he had something. He has a mental strength and he buys into a club completely. Paying the travel costs at Derby and making sure the players were paid showed the guy cares. He also has some very big names in the game to call on for advice when he needs.

The appointment at Blues was nonsense, of course, but he did OK at Derby before his DC move. Over there he had to work in a completely different market as far as recruitment is concerned and he got some decent results in that shit show of a league.

I'm not writing him off just yet.

Tell me you never watched his DC teams without telling me you never watched them.

He is absolutely shite tactically and relationally.

 

[White Wolf]

He did OK at Derby in the context of them being punished by the EFL, having no money, and being shit. Managed to create a siege mentality of everyone is against you and it worked - but that was with Rosenior as assistant who did all the tactics wasn't it?

If I was Plymouth I'd much rather have gone for Rosenior who seems like a good coach for that level.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Rosenior will wait for and get better offers than Plymouth.

I did actually.... I also saw him play in the All-Star game. Read your PM's and you'll understand.

Norwich set to complete the appointment of FC Nordsjælland manager Johannes Hoff Thorup this week. Thorup expected to finalise contract in the next 48 hours, with Norwich also paying compensation. Has always been the #1 choice for sporting director Ben Knapper #ncfc #otbc

No, me neither

 

[Alan]

No, me neither

Little google says Nordsjælland finished 4th in Superligaen this season just past, which from the outside I would call "unencouraging".

Fun fact; the entire bottom half of the Superliga table gets put into a relegation playoff!

Hopefully he replicates his results at Leicester from February and March this year.

Derby was a bit of a siege mentality due to their feeling hard done by, by the league which masked some of Rooneys deficiencies.

You'd expect if Rooney 'had something' you'd see something since then, we haven't.

Rosenior was the one who had something at Derby and we've seen him develop further at Hull.

He always comes across as incredibly smug to me, also another who has Ballbag in his pocket to tell the world what a genius he is.

If O'Neil left us I can't say I'd want Maresca to replace him.

Seems mad to me. Pay to get Maresca or appoint a proven manager in De Zerbi for free?

 

[Kenny]

Chelsea doing Todd things. Will pay €10m to get him from Leicester

De zerbi is around £10m for anyone who wants him I think

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

One of these things is not like the other

Chelsea have also spoken to Thomas Frank, the Brentford manager. They want a manager who is focused on possession football

Percy running with McKenna staying at Ipswich

Off to Brighton then.

Think he’d get good results there tbf if not a fun style.

 

[Jack Regan]

Emery has signed a new five year contract with Villa, McKenna also signing a new contract with Ipswich.

Corberan a target for Leicester when Enzo runs off
