The Manager Sacked/Hired Thread 2024/25

[Paddingtonwolf]

Extension to 2026 for Ten Haag

God alone knows why

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Guess they just don't want him being an obvious lame duck with an expiring contract if they're in that 'not being as high as we want but not bad enough to sack him' zone again. You have to at least give the impression you're backing him or it causes all kinds of issues.

 

[Kenny]

Bringing RvN in to help him. He has turned down manager jobs for the coaching/soon to be caretaker manager role at Utd

Craig Bellamy getting the Wales job

What could possibly go wrong…?!!

 

[Banjo]

He's actually got pretty good coaching credentials and was seen to have been very unfortunate to miss out to Giggs when he got the job. I'm reasonably pleased with that. I know Henry was linked, but he's no more qualified for the job than Bellamy.

 

[North Shropshire Lad]

I’ve seen Bellamy the coach when he was at Cardiff’s academy and the characteristics we knew he had as a player were still very evident and even their other coaches were embarrassed and apologised for his arrogance and tantrums. Six years ago but I’d be surprised if he’s changed that much, especially if he’s No.1

 

[YoungWolf]

he got sacked for bullying a player at Cardiff, right?

Bellamy - a leopard doesn't change its spots .

I'd forgotten this, but rings a bell yes.

Heimir Hallgrímsson is the new Ireland manager.

 

[Del Woppio]

Typo?

 

[Keef]

Well they did say they wanted a big name, that’s a big name.

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

Who the fuck????

 

[Kenny]

Who the fuck????

Show the man that took Iceland to a World Cup and beat England in the Euros some respect....

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

And then bombed out of the Copa America managing the mighty Jamaica.
Consider me underwhelmed to say the least.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Swap you for Craig Bellamy

 

[1986]

Heimir Hallgrímsson is the new Ireland manager.

He is a name that no one expected , but let's face it - that's our level now . When you're on the floor there is no farther to fall . Someone like him might be just what we need . Back to basics .
He strikes me as someone who won't tolerate lazy Matt for too long .

 

[Donegal Wolf]

It is where we are and who we can attract, would rather take a punt on someone left field then go for a name like Bruce or Keane who have been put forward by their buddies.

Improved both Iceland & Jamica (would ignore Copa to a certain extent as seemingly a lot of unhappy shit between players & federation which meant likes of Bailey didn't play which he was caught in the middle of).

If he gets us to a Euros & World Cup like he did with Iceland (topped qualifying group which included Crostia) then we will be happy enough.

 

[Keef]

Southgate resigns
