Managerial Sack Race

[Bobby's Cinema]

I'm in two minds about it. If they see quickly that it isn't working then the club deserve credit for changing it. On the flip side a manager needs a bit of time. It's a difficult one.
This one seemed to be clear quite quickly it was never going to work. Seemed an odd appointment in the first place.
Did not come across as a good communicator and showed all the signs of being out his depth.

Nathan Jones sacked after 8 games at Southampton

Sent from my VOG-L29 using Tapatalk

Good news for the women of Wales if they’ve got him trudging home.

[oneone73]

With them being lower league, think you can sign players on three month deals (or something around that) outwith the window. Think we did it when we were in the championship with Ambrose.

We did it with Kris Commons.

[Donegal Hibby]

He would be free and Motherwell wouldn't have to pay compensation if they nicked another club`s manager
Just got a feeling they might look to Goodwin, Ross or Lambert as a cheaper option , I'd doubt Lennon would want it .

[Carheenlea]

Goodwin might be quite a good choice for Motherwell. Better size of club perhaps for him.

[A Hi-Bee]

Good news for the women of Wales if they’ve got him trudging home.

Wonder if they have been singing "Nathan Jones you been gone so long"
:greengrin

[JamesHFC]

I was astonished Nathan Jones had ended up in the premier league. Never a good enough manager for that level.

I actually feel a bit sorry for him. The amount of abuse he has got is really bad.

[Billy Whizz]

That will be him back as a pundit on Sportscene shortly

Kenny Miller is on this afternoon

[J-C]

Hammell’s record was truly awful, 23% win ratio, 58% loss. Only his status at Motherwell kept him in that job so long, especially given the vast majority of those wins were very early on.

Their next two games are St. Mirren and Hearts at home I think, so a new/sacked manager bounce would be well timed.


He was never ready to take over an ailing Motherwell team, he was still learning his trade as a coach there, needs to go back to being a coach and get some more experience.

Can’t stand McCall after his whole love in with Hearts during their legal battle to avoid relegation.

He was banging on constantly about it and said he would reveal all in his amazing biography. Guess he’ll have time to finish it now.

there's really not a lot of talent out there tbf, leeds have totally mucked up by sacking a manager without having someone in mind to step in straight away, at least two they were interested in have bagged themselves contract extensions at their present clubs, now it looks like they've went for the cheapest of options by giving the gig to the interim boss for the 'upcoming fixtures'.

Every club he's ever managed goes down shortly after he leaves or while he's there. He is a short term burst manager at best, with 1 really good season at Inverness in there.

yeah they did, if only the free kick from Aaronson at OT hadn't hit the post for 3-0 i really couldn't see man u coming back from that, also must have been quite deflating for the players when man u took the lead so late in the game at ER.

One thing Motherwell have been over the years is quite inventive with their managerial appointments. I think - up until they re-appointed Mark McGhee - that in their time in the SPL, they'd never appointed a manager who had managed in the league before.

I agree that is a good looking list for a club in their position.

I loved Holloway when he was manager of Blackpool, he was superb at getting te fans up for games, and was always out and about meeting the supporters while he was here.

Did a fantastic job under severe restrictions with the Oystons owning the club, how he got them into the Premier league was a miracle.

He'd certainly make being a Motherwell fan fun.:greengrin

Holloway would be the fun appointment for the league , he's managed the most teams but has the poorest win rate of the 3 . Both Ross and McCann have managed 5 clubs each . Ross has 48% win rate , McCann 40% and Holloway 35% . If I was a Motherwell fan I'd want McCann .

Jack Ross according to papers has ruled himself out of Motherwell Job which leaves Holloway or McCann. Gordon Strachan mentioned for Aberdeen job , can't see it myself.

Lose to Spurs & Dortmund then I'll be surprised if he's still there. It sounds like they are happy to carry him on into next season regardless though, I suppose it took Klopp & Arteta a few years to get their current clubs where they want them to be. Whether Chelsea wait a few years though when spending crazy money remains to be seen.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Chelsea have spent a crazy amount of money on transfers since the new owners came in but they are calling the shots on that surely? I very much doubt potter has demanded so many new players.

[worcesterhibby]

From what I saw on a West Ham fan You Tube channel, it's said that Moyes was told several weeks ago that his position is under review on a game by game basis. He knows he is on thin ice.

I think half the reason he's still in a job, is the lack of suitable replacements..as we've seen with Southampton and Leeds..who do you bring in that will keep you up ?

[Hibernia&Alba]

I think half the reason he's still in a job, is the lack of suitable replacements..as we've seen with Southampton and Leeds..who do you bring in that will keep you up ?

Yes, who is available who is suitable? Dyche was probably the obvious one, but they missed the boat.

They are a fan run club and it’s said to be a good place to work.

[Dashing Bob S]

They will struggle to get that now. Need other clubs to collapse. If we accept that Arsenal and the two Manchester clubs are stick ins, Newcastle and Spurs might wilt but Liverpool are now better positioned to take advantage of that.

Yep they should have won that final also. Think it was Mark Kerr with a horrible back pass in the last minute which allowed Rangers to score and go to extra time. Shame for Craigy that. It could have all been so different :greengrin

Levein was a brilliant manager for Dundee United and tin hat on a cracking manager at Hearts, particularly first time around. No danger he's putting himself in that position again with his health problem. Sure his family would have something to say.

Tend to agree. They were less "anti-football" in the way they played than many other visitors to Easter Road.

[He's here!]

Must have been his last few games in charge of Aberdeen that made him the standout candidate!! I'd be raging with that if I was a utd supporter

Me too. That's an odd, rushed appointment IMHO. What about that guy Courts who did a decent job pre-Jack Ross?

[He's here!]

Thought they were better under Ross

St Mirren were excellent under Ross.

[Northernhibee]

It’s probably worth as much of a punt as anyone else. Manager with experience in the league and something to prove for the rest of the season. They’re in danger of being completely adrift very soon so they may as well.

[Cat Stanton]

Poor Dundee Utd.

A glance at the fans' forum suggests they're not terribly happy...

In the championship. He never managed them in the top tier!

Goodwin managed them in the top league, Ross didn't.

[Since452]

Football fans are the most fickle in the world. A couple of wins starting on Saturday and Goodwin will be a hero. I don't think he's become a bad manager overnight. Wasn't so long ago Aberdeen were leathering teams at Pittodrie and getting all the plaudits for it. Their away form was shocking though. Some times it just doesn't really work at a club for whatever reason. Goodwin is a significant upgrade on Liam Fox.

[Donegal Hibby]

Wonder if over the next couple of weeks could it be curtains for Shaun Maloney at Wigan. Lost last night 1-0 to west Brom . I watched some of it and they were awful in the first half , didn't even have a shot on target . 1 win in 7 games and next 3 are Burnley ( away) , Coventry ( home ) , Watford ( away) 3 very difficult games for them though Maloney seems fairly positive about escaping relegation.

It was a recipe for disaster from day one , Wigan thinking a rookie manager would save them and Maloney thinking a club in relegation trouble would be a good job for him . Personally I think Wigan are a mess and Maloney hasn't got it as a manager. Both are equally at fault and one is a cert for relegation and the other for the sack imo.

:agree: They fell in to the trap of thinking a successful ex player would be their savior as manager. Rarely works. I really don't think management is for Maloney. He still looks like a rabbit in the headlights. The players will undoubtedly feed off that. If i could pay to have his time at Hibs and the football we played erased from my memory i would.

Fantastic player though who i always thought was underrated. Can't take that away from him.

Probably coaching might suit him more than being a manager as he looks totally out of his depth as a manager. Most of his interviews he comes across as being totally awkward and nervous , as the other poster said he's like a rabbit caught in headlights. To a degree I feel sorry for him but it was utter madness on his behalf to except a Job like Wigan .

[HibeeSince85]

What are these types of clubs expecting, they're sitting 12th and yes have gone through a bad spell but mid table is where they should be.

I think the issue is their current style of play, he said himself he was trying to change the way the team plays but sure I read in the last few games they've not even registered a shot on target.

Maybe a bit like us with Jack Ross. Even when it was going well and we finished third there were plenty fans complaining about the style of play, despite it being relatively successful.

Their decent cushion over the clubs below has almost gone, they can't score, they have few shots, no change in approach/tactics/formations etc. so no change in results. I think "these types of club" and their supporters expect a bit more than that!

5 points from the last 30 on offer. Just above relegation. How long would you give him, giving there is an international break coming up and there is the process of recruiting a Jew manager which takes time.

That is just a list of results. If you had actually watched all those games you would have known the boredom and frustration suffered by the Palace supporters and been appalled at the lack of fight from the players. The draws against Newcastle and Brighton were the luckiest two points in this league so far this season. Viera, like many managers, would not change or adapt his approach and, like Maloney, tried to shoehorn players into a style and shape that wasn't working. Looking at results and stats is not the whole story of a manager's efforts. Viera was a great player and a lot of hope was pinned on him. All very well looking in from the outside and making judgements but when you are an actual supporter of a club (even "those type of clubs") you feel very differently. Viera didn't work out - move on (and hopefully stay up).

The list of results are all against teams above palace and 7 out of the 11 are against the best and wealthiest teams in the league and with no disrespect to palace should be getting well beaten in . Even this Sunday they have arsenal at the Emirates . Which they could possibly get a doing in though after that they have I think a run of 5 or 6 winnable games were they have to play the bottom team's and I'd have stuck with the manager for them.

I don't know what crystal palace fans expectations are though Vieira finished 12th last season and got them to the semi final of the FA cup which I would have thought was a fairly decent season for them . They are 12th now and I'd have been pretty confident under Vieira they would have stayed up comfortably , now I'm not so sure , depends who they get .

Roy Hodgson seems to be the favourite and is a good manager though he's 75 now and mighten want the hassle of it . I don't really see that many good managers available for palace to be fair which is why I think they have taken a massive gamble. I heard before Vieira was appointed there were two other managers that had accepted the post only to pull out of the running in the end up which has me wondering did palace actually back Vieira financially or was the guy's hands tied . Anyhow crystal palace have made the decision and it will be interesting to see if it works out or not .

I don’t think either of them seem like a good fit for that club.

They’re not a club who have won much recently or likely to win much and they’ve employed managers that are used to winning things every season. Feels a bit like they’ve jumped the gun getting managers like those in before the club was ready for them.

An up and coming manager, like Pochettino was far more likely to get the club pulling in the same direction.

I guess we will see how this season plays out. At one point they looked certain for a 3rd place finish.

Now the team in 7th is only 7 points behind them with 9 games still to play. If they don’t take 9 points minimum from their next 4 they could be going into the top 6 in a pretty shaky position, especially if we manage to beat them (I’m certainly not holding my breath on that).

Aberdeen could easily take 9 points before the spit and Hibs should probably take around 9 points regardless of the derby result.

If they don’t finish 3rd, especially if they finish below us, fans will be calling for his head and I wouldn’t blame them.

Didn't read their thread but saw the poll results were 61% want him sacked now, 22% not sure and only 17% want him to stay. This has the feeling of the Levein tenure when a few times they were only a derby defeat away from storming the plaza/piazza but he'd buy himself more time by beating us.

He cost them a fortune and was meant to be the long term plan. He's actually doing very well in CL. Good chance to win it. Just lacking a consistent goalscorer. And Sane and Gnabry really off form.

He's really doing no worse than pep for example. Pep is further behind in the league even.

Two clean sheets against PSG with their attack is some achievement too.

I hate to be that guy but I did call this back in Jan/Feb time!

Nagelsmann just hasn’t won enough games. Bayern were never gonna mess about when the League was in doubt. With that squad they should be about 12 points better off

Bayern won 8/8 in the CL this season including 7 clean sheets.. twice against PSG, Barca & Inter.

I know Bayern expect to win the league though they are only 1 point behind Dortmund and there next game is Dortmund at home. Nagelsmann is a excellent manager as his record shows.

This doesn't appear to be results based and their fans online agree. They think it's the result of an internal problem.

He's still in all 3 competitions and probably favourite for them too.

They’ve dropped points domestically in the same number of games already this season, as they had for the total season last year.

Something wasn’t right
