The Manager Sacked/Hired Thread 2024/25

Wrong Fred..

Howe only takes the England job if he feels he's on thin ice at Newcastle. It'll be Carsley imo, I think he's been given the nod already, hence knocking back Ireland

Would be a big step up for Carsley , especially when you consider the quality of player that England now have compared to say 15 years ago . The expectation levels on him straight away would be high .
That was why I could not understand him turning down the Irish job . There is far less pressure there , he would be given time and could develop as an International Manager without the suffocating pressure that comes with being the England boss .

Carsley is well regarded , but has seen or experienced none of that pressure yet either at club or International level .

Potter/Howe have both seen it at club level - doesn't mean they can do a good job , but at least it's one box ticked that Carsley doesn't have .

Leicester appoint Steve Cooper until June 2027 having held talks with Graham Potter and Carlos Corberan

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Oh deep joy. He is just mogodon in humanoid form

 

[Carrotdude]

He’s potentially the worst manager of the three so if we’re going to be in a relegation fight that’s the best news for us really

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Corberan isn't exactly Rinus Michels. Potter would definitely have been an issue.

Cooper winning on the last day of the season to relegate Forest would be amusing

Are Leicester starting on a points deduction?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Almost certainly but nothing official yet. There are several clubs who need very busy June sales or they are picking up starting deductions. Thankfully we aren't one of them.

Rob Page sacked by Wales

Rob Page sacked by Wales

It's been coming. Qualification in 2020 and 2022 were his high points, but both tournaments were a disappointment (especially 2022) and, in retrospect, the team was just being carried by an aging Bale and an aging Ramsey (both of whose performances in 2022 were awful).

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Giggs qualified you for 2020 anyway

Never quite understood what Page was trying to do tactically, like all the worst bits of Coleman and none of the positives.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Always a stop gap after the Giggs cuntery ruled him out forever. Worked okay with qualification early doors but the players that did the heavy lifting in that halycon period by our standards are all retired and so we are reverting to the mean, which is to be not very good.

We can get a better manager than Page, but I doubt results are suddenly going to have the big boys quaking in their boots.

It was fun for those Bale years, but it's gone now.
