The Managerial Merry Go Round™ - Will Still Southampton manager

[Guest firetotheworks]

I might be wrong, but my interpretation is that he's one of those managers who transitions from one style of play to another and there's a fleeting spell where it works well in that '90s mid-table Spurs way and then it fails. I can't dislike him tbh, he's a bit of a dick but my impression of him is that generally he does want his teams to play football.

[Disco]

He's alreet until given a decent budget to spend. Teflon Pards levels of excuses though.

[HaydnNUFC]

He's the best of the PFMs. Still doesn't say much.

[Guest firetotheworks]

The sort of player he was probably plays into it as well like. I know he still got stuck in but pretty much every memory I have of him as a player is him volleying or scissor kicking one into the top corner.

I don't give a fuck about Stoke but I dunno if I could deal with them reappointing Pulis. For all I dislike Mark Hughes and ultimately his appointment didn't achieve much; he was progressive in comparison to Pulis. They moved on from the tracksuit bellend because they wanted to go somewhere other than basic Premier League consolidation. It hasn't exactly happened with Hughes, but ffs - don't go backwards. Pulis has absolutely no right to walk straight back into a job.

If we had decent money to spend I’d like to see us go for Butland, would really screw Stoke at the same time. Not sure if he’s a Rafa keeper or not.

[The College Dropout]

Hughes put together a tidy Blackburn side.  Finished 7th or 6th playing decent football.  Bellamy scoring something like 16 league goals.

[The College Dropout]

Turns out it was 13 in 27 PL games.  17 in 32 overall. They finished 6th.  Semis in League cup. 

 

Otherwise he’s done an OK job elsewhere.

[Guest]

I quite like Hughes.

[Doctor Zaius]

On the other side of the coin, how we laughed at Hodgson, Allardyce and Moyes when they were appointed. Allardyce has won 4 out of 5. Moyes has pulled West Ham out of the relegation zone and Hodgson at Palace has been quite remarkable; No losses in 7 now, despite losing their first seven games. Whist there is some absolute nonsense in the media regarding British coaches, it seems thus far, those three clubs have made the correct choice in picking experienced British managers.

[TRon]

I think he's one of those nothing managers, doesn't really have a method which you can pin down. With Rafa it's pretty clear what he wants and I like that in a manager, even if I don't always agree with it. I don't really see what has prevented Hughes from doing better at Stoke either. Has he got a valid reason for being in a relegation fight this season?

Jesus 'ffin Christ, delete that fucking post before Ashley gets wind of it.

[WarrenBartonCentrePartin]

Clement binned.

 

[Ketsbaia]

Damn. Another new manager bounce to come, especially if they get Pulis. Fuck.

[Guest firetotheworks]

Predictable but I'd have liked it to take a bit longer. Hopefully Pulis goes there and Stoke have to look elsewhere. The thinking behind it is purely because Pulis is far less likely to get something out of the Swansea team than the Stoke one.

[Stifler]

Not long before they play us as well.

[geordiedean]

So theres only us and stoke and in the bottom 6 that haven't sacked their manager....Hughes is on borrowed time too

Bournemouth too

[Kimbo]

Really bad news for us.

[Pilko]

Depends who they get like.

Depends who they get like.

 

Even a shit manager can have a short term impact if the players care enough.

[HaydnNUFC]

Fuck sake. Pulis will probably go there.

[Dave]

The concept of a manager building anything at a club outside the current six clubs at the top is laughably obselete nowadays. Too much money at stake so virtually every manager is brought in to 'save' a season, then is inevitably moved on within two years after the new manager bounce has worn off.

 

That's not to say the Clement sacking is incorrect, I don't know enough about them to comment but overall it's shite really.

[Guest Howaythetoon]

The likes of Moyes, Big Sam and Pardew et al can positively influence an upsurge in results when taking over a club, but I dare say that's because of a new manager bounce rather than their capabilities or lack of as managers. Once their ways are embedded into their respective clubs it never takes too long to turn to shit and that's because, well, they are shit managers. I guarantee next season the fans of Everton, West Ham and WBA will be dreading match day and wanting their managers replaced.
