Optimistic Nut Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 So Sven's replacement Big Phil Scolari has been approached to replace him on the eve of a major tournament. I'm off to stick £10 on McClaren. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 What a particularly shitty way to treat a manager. If he's going to make a change then there's a way to go about it. To offer the job to Scolari before sacking Sven is bang out of order. Quite like City but Shinawatra is a wanker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I particularly like this from the Independant The approach to Scolari came, via a Brazilian agent, from Srisumrid Jack Taweesuk, City's executive director, whose attempts to lure the Portugal national manager are understood to have included a promise that money will be available to Scolari to buy "the players that he wants". Surely a basic demand of a manager? If Shinawatra thinks he's being 'lenient' by putting that into the deal then he's even more stupid than I ever imagined.

Guest optimistic nit Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 doesn't really say anythng new does it? does seem like a headcase mind, and its irritating, because, as good as this is for us, as we are competing against them next season, citeh are my favourite top 10 club. re midds: i think its a good way to do it personally, you don't want to sack a manager before you have any replacements, or you end up with what we did, offering redknapp the job, him saying no, and then we're fooked. still shouldn't be sacking him, not in a million years, but if he was to, a citeh fan would hope that they already had a replacement signed up.

It's otherwise known as constructive dismissal though, surely? So Sven will be able to walk now and claim compensation. That's just fucking stupidity.

Yep total Knacker, i dont think his powers of forcing people into doing it his way within the football world will work.
