Managers in England

Utterly disposable, Brian Laws and Darren Ferguson binned today.

 

16 out of 90 odd clubs binned their manager this season! McGhee has a wikipedia record, got to be in with a shout to get sacked too?

    Ryan Mason has been sacked by West Brom. Please let him get the Celtic job, with a name like that.

  • Absolutely shocking Seem to have ideas above their station. Happily see them relegated next season

Big lol at Chelsea :D

 

I'm surprised by his decision but will be looking with great interest to see how he gets on. Definitely one of the few clubs he could / should have gone to and it will be nice to see them hopefully climb to where they belong.

Adkins sacked from Southampton. Baffling IMO.

Don't understand that one at all...

Unless they want Mourinho signed up before the likes of ManU get him?  ;)

Very odd. Especially as they are rumoured to be appointing ex Espanyol coach who was sacked by them in Novemeber following a string of terrible results.

I can't remember a time when football had it's head this far up its own arse. The way some owners are behaving is a total embarrassment

Too many foreign owners without a fucking clue.  Adkins being sacked is completely illogical, especially given their recent results?!?

Southampton a stick on to be relegated now.

Alex McLeish has been appointed the new manager of Nottingham Forest.The 53-year-old former Aston Villa, Birmingham and Scotland boss replaces Sean O'Driscoll, who was sacked on 26 December after five months in charge."I believe he's the man who can help us fulfil our ambition of making it to the Premier League," said Forest chairman Fawaz Al Hasawi.McLeish said: "The fact a club of Forest's magnitude has offered me a job excites me greatly."

 

 

gone.

Can't say I'm not a bit disappointed by this, hopefully he'll be sacked by the time CB's contract is up....

 

 

Nottingham Forest chairman Fawaz Al Hasawi says that his decision to name Billy Davies, 48, as the club's fourth manager in seven months does not mean he is an interfering owner.

Talk about shooting yourself in the foot here!  I no way in any way shape or form condone how the Chelsea cunts have behaved but surely Benitez is better than this (although from his time at Liverpool it makes sense).

 

 

I would be very surprised if he was there on Saturday.

He'll no be caring but its another "Bene loses it".

 

Not exactly a good advert for getting another job is it?

Feel a bit sorry for him, he's a decent manager and the fans should have done more to get behind him.  He seems to have lost it a little though.

 

He'll end up back in Spain, possibly Real Madrid.

 

Perhaps Chelsea are going to lure Mourinho back.

I do and I don't, he chose to take the job knowing full well that the fans would not take to him.  That said, they never once got behind him, but they are huns / cunts so i'm not surprised.

Pretty much all of this. Doesn't look like he copes well with adverse pressure. SAF had him on toast.

Reading have sacked their manager this evening. Bit harsh if you ask me but I suppose they don't have a paper thin squad.

i like BMcD. Think he's a good manager but probably this season was a bit soon for him going into EPL. Wouldn't be surprised if it motivates a championship chairman to give someone the bullet fairly soon.

Yip, this, seems like a decent manager.

 

Pretty predictable turn of events though, as soon as he had a bad run he was going to be out on his hole, new owner and all that.

Think the treatment of both McDermott and the ex Southampton manager typify what is wrong in football nowadays. Taken an unfashionable club into England's top divison and punted during the season. The goal for these guys was always going to be no lower than 17th position come end of the season. Should at least have been given the courtesy to see that through. Hope they get relegated now.

There are managers out there who seem to have a knack of getting teams out of the Championship yet maybe aren't quite as good at keeping teams in the EPL.

Hear what your saying brother BUT it is a big step up coming from the Championship to EPL. I'm not convinced that unfashionable teams like Reading, Southampton and prior to them others like Blackpool are ever going to make inroads. I merely think that your McDermotts of the world deserved to see the season through. I'd hazard a guess that Reading would have been most folks banker to get relegated anyway, so surely wouldn't have been a massive shock if they were.

Unfortunately, especially for foreign owners, the crazy money in/being thrown at the EPL (5 billion due to come in over three years or something like that) makes it absolutely essential that they try everything in their power to stay in the EPL. This means that managers such as Adkins and McDermott will always be favourites for the sack despite what they have already achieved. With only 10 games to go, I can't really see the sense in sacking McDermott.
