The guy was Conte's no.2 and changed sod all, he kept the same shape and tactics as Conte and basically getting the same performances, what made them think he could change things.

Pretty sure Sevco did during the first Championship season with Kenny McDowall. Or did he resign?

Ole at Man U maybe, and that worked out well in the long term 😁

Don't think he'll be sacked but the boy JDT who was in a head to head with LJ for the Hibs job has had a pretty mediocre season at Blackburn. They'd have been targeting promotion I'd have thought. Sitting 8th.

Will Lampard be sacked twice in one season? 😁

8th place would be Blackburns best league finish in over a decade since they got relegated from the EPL.

11 games without defeat followed by 8 games without a win.

Streaky Jon.

Yep and still an opportunity for the play offs with the potential of a winner takes all final game at The Den v Millwall.

Goes a lot deeper than Lampard, they're after Pochettino so expect big changes in the summer, Lampard is a cheap option till then by keeping it ticking over.

5 losses out of 5 isnt really ticking anything 🤣 should have stuck with Potter til the end of the season.

I think that makes him the continuity candidate for Chelsea. Five wins out of five would create a problem in replacing the interim, at least with their fans.

They weren’t trying to change anything until the summer.

Conte’s relationship with the club had totally broken down (Conte blew it up, really - he had clearly had enough). Yet Spurs can somehow still finish top 4. Stellini’s job was to try and pick up as many points as possible in the remaining matches.

His big mistake was to change shape and tactics against Newcastle… it went horribly wrong.

Barry Robson appointed Aberdeen manager.

No real surprise given how he's done whilst in interim charge.

Absolutely.

Probably sacked by December though.

Wonder what the noise would have been from the Sheepies, had he be listed as a permanent candidate choice when Goodwin got hooked.

I do wonder did Leicester make the right call in removing Brendan Rodgers when they did?

I might be wrong but can see them struggling next season. European football until Christmas will impact them hugely in the league and although Robson has had a very impressive run, that's all it could be. It's a risk for Aberdeen. A few dodgy results post split and there will be a few nervous sheepies.

Consistently left out the two goal scorers last night.

I reckon he won’t last long at all. But they would be mad not to give him it based on his form.

We shall see

Don't know the reasons he done that but think Rodgers had finished 5th twice with Leicester and only imo of course is a better manager than Dean Smith.

Why is everyone convinced Robson will be a failure :confused:

Are they? Think there’s only two people who have raised the possibility.

I suspect the answer to your question though is that it’s relatively common for caretakers to get a job, look good but when it is made permanent, not be as good as they were when caretaker.

Don’t ask me to name any examples but it’s my perception of the caretaker manager turning permanent.
