Ashley17 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 (edited) Class that finishing 16th nor losing to Grimsby was enough to get him sacked but upsetting Jason Wilcox? Sacked immediately Edited January 5 by Ashley17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteV Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Nightmare for his two kids having their da as the manager. Doesn’t matter that much at youth team level, but no cunt will shut up about it if either of them start playing for the first team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 17 hours ago, Ben said: It can't be anything but, I reckon the strong personalities will walk all over him I haven’t gotten the sense they have a locker room full of divas. Certainly not like the days of Lampard, Terry, Cole. Palmer maybe, but they’re mostly a bunch of kids. Rosenior’s a long-time former pro who doesn’t seem to be a dickhead. You’d think he’d be able to handle them. No clue of his tactical acumen, but he seems to have done well enough with Strasbourg. As others have noted the Chelsea job is about pure man management and not rocking the boat with ownership. They have enough natural talent in the side that just keeping them happy should be enough to compete for CL football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Not paid that much attention to Amorim's press conferences or owt. But never found him likeable or anything like so many others seem to. I found him irritating to listen to, TBH. Seemed to have a couple of phases of just daring the club to sack him. Then always using the system and time to adapt as an excuse. Whilst putting in dreadful performances most weeks and ending up with a terrible points return over his time at the club. I also thought he got an incredibly easy time of it in comparison to so many other managers. In particular, foreign ones. Who the press and pundits love to go after.

Stottie Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 We are living in an evolving time for football management where we have DoFs, data people and AI driven by live stats with increasing power over player conditioning and tactics, transfer committees, and ever higher financial stakes. However, I see both Chelsea and Man U as essentially shitshows, so there is not much to be learnt from them in objective terms. These sackings have been driven as much by ineptness and non footballing priorities by the two clubs than by any kind of universally applicable "thats the way football management is now" type new developments or pressures.

Optimistic Nut Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 53 minutes ago, Ben said: Emery from Villa would be the obvious choice That'd probably be good for us. Man Utd will eventually get their act together the money they have. If it takes Villa down a bit then at least we get something out of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checko Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 3 hours ago, bobbydazzla said: Can I just shock you. I follow the real league table, it shows where real points have been awarded for real wins and real draws because one real team scored either the same number or a greater number of real goals than the real team they were playing against. It has no flaws. Because it's based on reality. And it's used to allocate prizes at the end of each season. They don't award any prizes at the end of the season based on shoulda, woulda, coulda statistical bollocks. That's like saying you'll take Chris Sutton's predictions over a gambling company's because he's a real human in the real world instead of a computer algorithm. Time to embrace technology, football 2.0 is here, and in it we're in 5th and Sunderland are 17th. Happy days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slot was also hired to be a yes-man to the decision makers. We are exiting the era of the brand name manager. Through history you’ve had 6+ brand name managers that rotate jobs. But few are being made now - it’s more about how good the clubs leadership is more than anything else. There’s only Pep in the PL. Conte in Serie A, can maybe argue Allegei wherever he is these days. Klopp out of work. Carlo and Tuchel at international jobs. Inzaghi was becoming a brand name coach but he’s in Saudi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
