Probably the same reason they let Mellon walk after one season after keeping them up comfortably. Think there are serious issues at that club.

Both sides could also have had release clauses in the contract....

Maybe I'm a little out of the loop but why did United let Courts walk for free in the summer, when he had done a decent job in his first season?

There was a chat that Courts thought he was getting a big job abroad and wanted out of his contract. Can't remember the finer details I'm afraid.

Watford sack their manager after only 11 games into the season.

Think they have appointed slaven bilic as new manager?

They have 👍

[Donegal Hibby]

Think Forrest green were very unhappy the way Watford approached there manager(guy just sacked). Slaven bilic will need to start winning quickly seems to be a ruthless owner there!

if their wages to turnover ratio is still as bad as it was in their last accounts then they are in big trouble if the American decides to stop funding it at any point.

Very strange

I was reading a article about Paul Hartleys sacking apparently the Hartlepool chairman knew nothing about him prior to his appointment.He wasn't there first choice but another another manager in scotland who had been successful there was.when they phoned the agent of the mystery manager .They were told he was happy in Scotland and that's when they turned to Hartley. Wonder who other guy was? Maybe Kevin Thomson?

Don’t think so seems highly thought off by Felix Magath maybe going the route they did with Wagner

No, but he is leaving his post as assistant at Hertha Berlin. So it's not like he doesn't have pretty decent experience.

Jack Ross was offered it before PH, and again after PH.

Forgot all about Ross to be honest with you

If you were to guess the next managerial dismissals one in Scotland and one in England , who would you guess it would be ? I'd go for Fox Dundee Utd maybe and Rodgers of Leicester city .probably the two most obvious choices I think.

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

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

[Donegal Hibby]

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

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 . Guy in middle row on the left . Was sure he was strongly linked with our job before LJ got it.

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.

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.
