The Managerial Merry Go Round™ - Steve Cooper sacked by Leicester


Recommended Posts

Surprised they sacked him middle of the week mind, surely he'd have been training with the players with a game plan for the weekend.

 

Maybe they were waiting for their replacement to confirm he'd take the job?

I'm hesitant to comment on whether or not clubs like Swansea should be sacking their manager - after having suffered two and a half years of being told, by everyone, how lucky we were to have a manager who made me hate football. But from a very distant viewpoint, binning Monk at this point would seem slightly premature; they're going through a bad spell for sure, but I thought they were all building together?

 

This.  Fans of other teams and pundits who only know about the SKY 6.  Usually like to bleat on about how wrong it is to sack the manager, they should stick with him etc.  I always thought Monk was a fairly strange appointment and possibly a risky one.  They haven't progressed under him and now they appear to be going backwards. 

 

Did OK until first international break, then

 

Lost - Watford (A) 0-1

Drew - Everton (H) 0-0, lucky to not lose

Lost - Hull (A) Cup 0-1

Lost - Southampton (A) 1-3

Drew - Spurs (H) 2-2

Lost - Stoke (H) 0-1

Won - Villa (A) 2-1

Lost - Arsenal (H) 0-3

Lost - Norwich (A) 0-1

Drew - Bournemouth (H) 2-2

Lost - Liverpool (A) 0-1

Lost - Leicester (H) 0-3

 

The games have been getting worse to watch as well, with hardly any shots on goal (from us).

 

We are now a week or two from slipping into a relegation spot.

 

 

That is worrying.  I think I'd be wanting our manager gone with form like that.  6 points from a possible 33, plus a cup loss to a lower league team?!  That is :carverlick: form. I'm not even sure Pardew went on a run quite that bad?  He'd just have his insane 5-6 wins in a row.  Coupled with 5-6 losses in a row.  But to be that bad for 12 games, is a massive worry.  It's not like they've had a really horrible set of fixtures, either.

 

From the 29th of December 2013 to the 4th of October 2014 he did this.

LOST West Brom (a) 0-1

LOST Cardiff City(h) 1-2 (FA Cup)
