The Managerial Merry Go Round™ - Will Still Southampton manager


Recommended Posts

Well that seems a bit harsh. I can't stand Dyche personally, but he did a decent enough job for a lesser club who are always going to struggle at this level. I suppose if you were a fan you might prefer to watch better football, even at a lower level.

At some point teams like Fulham, Watford, West Brom and Norwich need to decide if they're actually big enough to have a proper go at going up and staying up with a bit of proper investment. Constant promotions and relegations must wear the supporters out. That said, West Brom fans can forget about the promotions part of that until they fire the gormless cunt.

Did I not read somewhere the premise that, if you get it right, there's a healthy economic arguement for being a yo-yo club. 

Decent crowds and Premier League cash/parachute payments etc etc?

Surely if you get it right you end up going: promotion - survival - survival - survival - stability - stability?

This, completely. What’s the point? I get trying the moneyball thing but at some point you’ve got to just meet reality on its terms. I suppose they’d counter that it’s dangerous to saddle the club with debt or contracts they can’t jettison - suppose the real problem is the total inequality that money has caused in the game. Best solution in my view is a salary cap and floor and spending cap and floor, but that doesn’t = instant and constant profit so bleurgh.

Yeap why should they threaten their long term futures.  See Sunderland, Bolton and Portsmouth for what can happen.
