I haven't followed García's performance at Brighton, but he really was one of our hottest managerial prospects. He's very ambitious, maybe a bit too much. He left Barça because we wouldn't make him manager of the B squad just yet, and seems to be leaving Brighton after failing to get promotion.

Mel was appointed in January and was in charge of 17 Barclays Premier League matches, which yielded three wins, six draws and eight defeats.

 

So he's sacked for only getting 15 points from 17 games.

 

Points we managed in our last 17 games? 16.

 

Compare our squad and if Mel is sacked Pardew should be hung.

 

I'm actually surprised we got 16 points.  Would have guessed about 7 or 8 if someone asked.

Bad call by WBA. Mel would have got them in the top 10 next year if they backed him to a reasonable extent in the transfer market to bring in players more suited to his style.

 

They could well go down next year if they go for Hughton/Sherwood or someone of that ilk.

The vast majority of times it's the right call to not sack your manager.  As a mid-table club any replacement you're getting is probably similarly mediocre anyway so might as well give a guy some time to get used to the place and not pay expensive severance fees.

apparently Mel still doesn't speak english?

 

Neither does Pardew.

 

:lol:

 

It's a shame, but again, you don't learn a new language in six months. So if they expected him to learn it fluently in six months it was a terrible appointment to begin with.

Managers being sacked for under performing and owners selling up for the good of the club as they have lost interest. Meanwhile, on Tyneside......................

 

Nah. Nothing. Nada. Nowt. Zip. Zero. Fuck all.
