The Manager Sacked/Hired Thread 2025/2026

[White Wolf]

They don't spend very much. They've sold Olise, Andersen, Eze, and now Guehi in recent windows - all the noises suggest they'll lose Mateta and Wharton in the near future too - and don't bring many players in to replace, so I get the frustrations. They won a cup, got into Europe and now Glasner is seeing that team be dismantled - wouldn't we also be frustrated if this happened at Wolves because they are going seriously backwards and their ambition is retreating. Palace should be aiming to win a European trophy this year but come next season it looks like they'll be (from the perspective of the Sky Six) back in their box as lower midtable fodder. Don't think it matters if he cost them millions in the summer over Guehi - would that money have gone back in the squad? He prioritised having a squad capable of challenging especially for the Europe Conference, fair play to him.

I'm not sure his moaning actually helps and comes across as a bit crass, considering the run of form they're on and losing to Macclesfield it might not be encouraging the squad... but I do get it and would probably feel the same if I supported them.

Thomas Frank also on the brink of sack from Spurs.

Leicester sack Marti Cifuentes

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Leicester apparently considering employing Russell Martin. I suppose if most observers think they are mad and / or incompetent, the Leicester board might as well confirm that is the case.

Gavin Cowan replaces Michael Appleton at Shrewsbury. Dave Edwards will be his Assistant

Bonus, won't have to listen to him on commentary any more

I thought he was pretty good.

I guess he'll quit his podcast too.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Edwards is fine in the media. I didn't like him as a player but that's irrelevant.

 

[sycophantia]

I like Dave Edwards, enjoy him on the podcast while accepting its a bit easy going on the owners. Liked him as player while also accepting his limitations. Not sure he's assistant coach material.

Shrewsbury players will all be experts of running around a lot and making late runs into the penalty area at least

Slaven Bilic a contender for the Blackburn job

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Him relegating the shit would also be hilarious.

How about Tony Mowbray?

Also in the running for the job

 

[Tony Towner]

Bizarre. He'll be gone by Easter

Bizarre choice, even by Watford’s standards. Guess they’re taking a punt as they’re not likely to go down and in all likelihood he’ll be out of the revolving door before June.
