Managerial Sack Race

[cameronw-hfc]

I heard out of the last 12 Watford managers ,the longest has lasted 66 days or something close . Surely has to be wrong you would think? If it isn't slaven bilic must be a very brave man to take that job or a wee bit :crazy:


Yeah that's miles off. Their last gaffer was in from May-Sept alone. Roy Hodgson for a few months as well. They're fast at sacking but nowhere near that insane.

Yeah, 66 games is correct according to this:

It’s probably a good move to take the job. Get a nice payoff in 6 months and at the next interview point out the fact they are a basket case of a club when it comes to managers.

That's some list of managers btw. Must the had to pay a fair bit out in compensation to that lot.As you say nice payoff in 6 months .And heres me calling Bilic crazy :greengrin . Guy in middle row on the left . Was sure he was strongly linked with our job before LJ got it.

[Since452]

I think Goodwin will be gone before Fox is....

I'd be surprised. Before we pumped them people in the media were going on about how great Aberdeen and their new signings were.

The media quite liked McInnes too it seemed but it didn’t save him.

These American owners don’t seem to hang about when the coach isn’t delivering the expected results.

[brog]

I'd be surprised. Before we pumped them people in the media were going on about how great Aberdeen and their new signings were.

They were but their stats were distorted by 2 home wins aggregating 9 -1 when they played against 10 men for nearly 2 hours. Both games were 0-0 when St M and Livi went down to 10 and Sheep were awarded 3 pens as well. Given their other win was 1 0 away at St J their season has been remarkably similar to ours which makes Goodwin's comments even more nonsensical.

[Since452]

I actually quite like Goodwin as a manager and at one point in time wouldn't have minded him getting the Hibs job. I think he's a steady Premiership manager and a safe enough pair of hands for them after the Glass experiment.

[hhibs]

I wouldn't rule it out either.i just opted for Fox as he's fairly new to the managers game at a club struggling for results that's bottom of the league and appears to be in a bit of a mess imo. Have nothing personally against Fox btw .Though Goodwin's a really shout . Personally I normally don't take any pleasure out of a manager losing his job though in Goodwin's case I'd make a exception :greengrin


I wonder about Goodwin

Performancea and results not great and ,if unsubstantiated rumours and statements were to start emerging from many sources that would really undermine him and affect his perfomance,that would be a shame as we know that should not happen to anybody and certainly not to someone as mindful and fair as Jim Goodwin.

Id be the opposite ,I'd be fuming if Hibs had appointed him. Arrogant individual who thinks he's better than he is and let's be honest the way he conducted himself after the Hibs game was nothing less than totally embarrassing imo.Cant see what anyone would like about him as a manager ,he's done nought. maybe your joking here ?:greengrin

Can't stand him and didn't before the Porto chat. His record is terrible including at St Mirren which got him the Aberdeen job.

I was always quite impressed with his St Mirren teams when they came to ER. They were one of the few teams that didn't try and stop any football from breaking out like a St Johnstone etc. I think he's a decent manager at this level. His comments about Porto were poor there isn't any denying that.

He had a 32% win rate at St mirren .He lost and drew more games than he won there also he was in trouble being gobby there too .Was never really impressed with St mirren under him too.Was very surprised Aberdeen went for him to be honest with you . Lack of ambition on Aberdeen's board imo.. Though if you want a manager that's done nought and blames everyone else for his failures and embarrasses the club with his crazy comments you couldn't get a better candidate than Jim Goodwin. Think he started managerial career at Alloa and that's the level I'd put him at with no disrespect to Alloa btw. :aok:

I'd imagine 32% is pretty high for any St Mirren manager. That was all in the Premiership too.

[Wilson]

I'd imagine 32% is pretty high for any St Mirren manager. That was all in the Premiership too.

Yeah. They were in a bit of a state when he took them in as well. He is decent enough at this level but at a club like Aberdeen or Hibs it's about taking them that next step.

Not sure if he's quite that good.

[basehibby]

"people in the media" have proven themselves to be gormless credulous fuds over the whole Porto/Goodwin meltdown affair. Could not have been more wrong re Porteous so would not be surprised to see the same shower of clueless chancers' opinions re Goodwin's managerial skills being diametrically opposed to reality.

Our fair and balanced media that include those that played for Aberdeen, support Aberdeen or are mates with Goodwin.

Top drawer.

[Donegal Hibby]

Just looking at league table .Can't decide who I think is for relegation and who's for play offs . The European fights to hard to call too and theres always a dark horse creeps into that too imo. 3 game difference between 3rd and 11th at the moment . Also who's going to win the league ? Though it's early days but are we facing one of the tightest leagues in years? Who'd be a manager in the Scottish premier league this year I'd guess there will be a couple of managers gone at least before season concludes but who's the first in the managerial sack Race ???

That dressing room is an absolute shambles and need to take a long hard look at themselves.

Jack Ross may not have handled things well going in, but even if you've had some privileges removed from you when a new manager comes in, you don't stop trying. Let's be honest, that's what they did. You work hard, you show them that they're wrong and you earn them back.

Doesn't matter who the manager is there, it appears from the outside looking in that professionalism has left the building at Tannadice and they're dead certs for the drop.

I was very surprised with the way it went for Ross .Thought they would be hard to beat and do quite well. Thought McGrath , Fletcher and boy from man u decent enough signings . Does seem to be more problems there than meets the eye New guy Fox isn't going to last long there .Was a bad appointment imo Though the way they are now I'd doubt Pepe Guardiola would last there either . Clubs in a right mess.

I think, and to be clear, I like where we’re at just now, he’s not done anything like enough to attract attention yet.

On paper, he has the club with the 4th (ish) biggest budget, 4th, and out the league cup at the first hurdle. It’s not the kind of record that’s going to have clubs elsewhere looking. If our current form / standard of performance carries on for the rest of the season, I’m sure people might start taking a look, and rightly so, but I’d be stunned if anyone did just now.

No chance he’ll be getting anywhere near an English Championship post.

His next post will be Scottish Championship or English League Two/bottom of English League One.

I like Ross as a manager but Dundee United was an absolute disaster for him. Car crash. His stock has fallen dramatically since he took us to third. I think he'd struggle for a lower Premiership job now and may need to look at the Championship (our one).

He is only just getting started here. If his thing is improving and adding value to players then there is plenty to be done. We also represent his best chance of managing a club in Europe.

I very much feel he is the right man, right club, right time. Perhaps in the same way Mowbray was.

I'd be surprised if he left so soon.

I suspect you're correct but with 2 recent big pay offs he's probably content to wait until he's approached for a job he fancies. He already turned down Hartlepool. Anyway, every day he's out of a job he becomes a better manager, that's how it seems to work!

I cannae work out how they’re struggling for money to be honest. 9 seasons straight in the prem. They won it. Had a season in champions league. Average attendances over 30k every season. In the 9 years they’ve had a net spend on players of £150m in total. This season they’ve brought in £73m for Fofana and Schmeichel, who must have been higher earners, and only spent £15m. I doubt the wage budget there is huge in EPL standards.

How are they struggling? I really don’t see why?

Supposedly it will cost a fortune to sack Rodgers which they don’t have.

Can’t understand why some clubs in England persist in employing managers like Steve Bruce whose time is well past.
Surely there are plenty of young up and coming coaches who would more than welcome a chance to have a go at West Brom.
I’m not sure however what the financial situation is at West Brom and whether there would be gelt available to strengthen the squad in the January transfer window.
Surely West Brom must have accumulated substantial parachute payments from yo-yoing between the Premiership and the Championship over the years.

He's had plenty of jobs alright .He resigned sheff utd due to lack of funds .He was at crystal palace and was doing well Top of the league when he left to join Birmingham. Birmingham were mid table when he took over after a lengthy run of wins saw them make the playoffs.Beating Norwich in final ending a 16 year absence from the top league .following year they finished 13th and finished higher than rivals villa the first time since the 1970s .next year 10th.Wigan even agreed what was then a world record compensation fee of 3 million for him at one stage .He kept them up and finished 11th following year . Win rate ::::crystal palace 61.1% ::::::sheff utd 40.0%::::::Aston villa 45.1%::::::Hull city 40.8. Now I know he's had his fair share of failure as well but honestly I don't think big Bruce is the worse manager ever either

[Dalianwanda]

Hopefully he gets back into the writing game, could do with a chuckle.

[Kato]

Can’t understand why some clubs in England persist in employing managers like Steve Bruce whose time is well past.
Surely there are plenty of young up and coming coaches who would more than welcome a chance to have a go at West Brom.
I’m not sure however what the financial situation is at West Brom and whether there would be gelt available to strengthen the squad in the January transfer window.
Surely West Brom must have accumulated substantial parachute payments from yo-yoing between the Premiership and the Championship over the years.West Brom have an absentee owner who lives in China. I'm not quite sure if any West Brom fan has even seen him. His last move was to take 5 million quid out the club, for himself, and add it to the clubs debt.

Wonder if Steven Gerrard is beginning to feel a bit of pressure ,3 points above the relegation spot .37 Games ,13 wins,7 draws ,17 defeats . Win ratio of 35.1 % .He's not really improved them much has he ?

Yep incredible the number of clubs who have given him a job. Seems a decent sort to be fair

Decent guy, poor manager.

I have a Villa supporter in my work. Can’t stand Gerrard and wants him punted. Out of ideas is his opinion and SJM has gone backwards under Gerrard (compared to his Scotland performances)

They have regressed. Dean Smith, sacked to make way for Gerrard, has a good record and Norwich moved swiftly by appointing him 8 days after he was sacked by Aston Villa.

I know he's a Liverpool legend but couldn't help think he was fortunate at rangers ,let's be honest all he had to compete against was Celtic and they went away to the dogs in the end up . Always felt Celtic would come back stronger and I think he knew it too and jumped ship . Villa are a massive club and are under achieving big time under him imo . I've just read there lately villa fans giving out about Mcginn not playing the same way for them as he is for Scotland surely Gerard has to take some responsibility for this too? Truth been told I didn't mind Gerard when he was in England ( Great player) though went right of him when he was at Rangers with his non stop moaning (sorry)

[RyeSloan]

The Huns were far from happy with him as well until Celtic handed them the league. He’s average at best and think that’s all the more obvious at Villa.

[Dashing Bob S]

Oh without a doubt!! Not sure he survives that.

The result tonight was a terrible humiliation if a bit of a one off fluke. More damning is going from a Europa Cup final and near victory to four straight loses and a -15 GD in the CL, with the prospect of further damage.

It indicates how the Huns have gone backwards since Gerard.

No idea why you think that. Gerrard got out because he knew he wasn't going to have a meaningful budget and that's what GVB has had to deal with. Best players sold, none of any real caliber brought in and its only getting worse now that UEFA are watching their accounts. They didn't even strengthen enough to challenge Celtic far less Champions League teams. I'm no Sevco apologist, I'd cheer if they went bust for good but GVB isn't the problem, he's trying to polish a turd there.....

We will agree to differ, mate. I think he's clueless. Didn't Rangers have a nine point lead in the league when he took over? He blew that and has overseen a number of drubbings in big games, including their worst ever home defeat. Their style of play is very negative, too.

Not clear that Gerrard does all that much as Manager, maybe just man management / being a figurehead? Beale seems to be the highly rated one doing the actual coaching. Presumably decided he wanted all the credit.

Seems a bizarre setup that presumably only got off the ground because of Gerrard’s name / profile. They brought in an ex Blackpool boss to replace Beale and the tactics have completely changed and results have been terrible.

He's not short on money. It would be a big downgrade going from PSG to a Villa team currently in a relegation battle, do a poor job there and he will lose a lot of credit. He could probably get a job at most CL clubs or can sit tight and wait for Conte to leave Spurs where he will probably be welcomed back with open arms.

Gerrard is also on £4m per year, Poch was on treble that at Spurs and probably even more at PSG. Don't think money would be the biggest factor in his decision making but he wouldnt be cheap.

Villa are a pretty big club as well. He's a project manager, does better when he needs to build something, there's not many clubs who he would have a chance at building something than Villa. He's got a solid squad, as much money as he would want in the windows, he's on record being very, very complimentary about the club in the past... I think it's a long shot, but definitely possible.

He was then sacked at Chesterfield and Partick thistle .He had a 40.8% win rate at Wigan , A 10.3% win rate at Chesterfield and a 33.8% win rate at Partick thistle .Makes you wonder a bit about why the Exeter chairman would want him at all ?

I think maybe the clue is in the 40% win rate at Wigan.

40% win rates quite good though most of that probably came in League 1 were Wigan would have been one of the big boys .
