The Managerial Merry Go Round™ - Will Still Southampton manager

[Kaizero]

That's the most boring appointment ever, I hope they get relegated and never get back up as punishment. Jesus fuck.

[George Bailey]

Personally think it is a very solid appointment for them. He will do well their (in respect of getting them back up when they go down).

He's a solid manager, not sure what else Norwich can/should be doing appointment wise tbh.

[Kaizero]

Getting in a manager that suits their business model, for one. 

[George Bailey]

He will work well within a budget, improve players who aren't 'mega stars', have a decent relationship with their fans and generally have them better drilled and able to change tactics in games when needed (unlike Farke). Pretty solid.

Time will tell but I think he will do more than okay.

[McCormick]

Would have taken Dean here (not necessarily over Howe, mind), very solid manager and great appointment by Norwich.

Wraith would be proud.

I don’t care for either of the Old Firm teams or their fans, but Rangers seem to have an entire support of wrong ‘uns. Proper weirdos.

Coming from a club where knackers camp outside the training ground to hand a letter into the new manager who is probably creeper out to fuck, is a bit rich

From the bits I heard Gerrard absolutely nailed his press conference TBF. Spoke brilliantly.

He wears a jacket well also.

This one is better. He even tells it to get up. 

 

 

[Ameritoon]

Definitely a weird club

Barnsley desperate to be hipster as. The absolute polar opposite of the town of Barnsley.

How do people rate Smith vs Howe?

 

Villa were saved by the most extraordinary technology failure we've seen in the PL in some time. Had goal line technology worked, Villa would've went down and Bournemouth stayed up.

 

I think considering the investment of both teams, neither team should have been in that situation but moreso Bournemouth shouldn't have been in that situation. Also Bournemouth consistently looked vulnerable at the back in the 5 years they were in the PL.

 

I don't watch enough of Villa to know how a Dean Smith side plays. They were pretty much as much a 1-man team as you'll see in the PL when things were going well iirc.

I think it's far too simplistic to say the technology failure meant Villa stayed up and Bournemouth went down

It's not football related. Some dodgy betting shit he didn't clamp down on.

Dean Smith did a great job with Villa, but I feel, he’s that type of manager where he’s ideal for that one club and will eventually become a PFM type going from job to job. Howe seems far more advanced in terms of his coaching, teachings and philosophy and more organic if that makes sense.
