Managerial Sack Race

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.

They’ve maybe said it a few times then as I feel like I’ve read it on here quite a few times

It’s a cert Robson won’t leave as good as manager as he has caretaker, that sort of record would be impossible for both the old firm to maintain in a season. Everything he’s shown so far though would point to him actually being quite good.

500k for the remaining four games Sam Allardyce in advanced talks to take over from Javi Gracia as Leeds manager | Leeds United | The Guardian gtf



Director of football Victor Orta has left by mutual consent.


at long last the long list of utter dross that man has been allowed to spend huge amounts of £££ on is horrendous

I thought he'd retired? I guess 70-something Hodgson has worked out well at Palace (he's had a great managerial career after all) but it does smack of desperation when clubs so often turn to the old guard. Does Allardyce get the gig fill time if he keeps them up?

Why would he want the gig full time when he's getting half a million for 4 games and £2.5 million if he keeps them up.

Another desperate club may come calling this time next year...

The Guardian link is brilliant. Last line there would usually be a role for Sammy Lee but he is currently on jury service

they are, lord knows what will happen in the summer whether relegated or not, the owner is interested in a partnership in buying Inter Milan but if leeds get relegated the 49ers will want to take over with a much reduced price tag, they have the option to own the club 100% by jan 2024 he only has himself to blame he put far too much trust in Victor Orta, Unai Emery was the choice to take over at leeds but Orta faffed about determined to keep Marsch, Emery ended up going to Villa and the rest is history :(

Leeds are my English team and I'm not holding out much hope for them. Their run in is Man C, Newcastle, West Ham and Spurs.

At least they are certs to win the last game of the season.

Obscene money for big Sam, although I know the cost of losing their place in the Premier League is colossal

Not sure Spurs at home last game looks like a certain three points

If Allardyce, was twice the price, of Hodgson, would you take Steve Bruce? But who needs Allardyce, I'd rather Mark Hughes...

Son is playing in Lenzie this morning and I saw someone just ahead of us that I recognised from the back.

It was Jim Goodwin and he turned round to see me with a Hibs top on as we are heading to Edinburgh after his game

Was tempted to ask him about the 6-0 game or Ryan Porteous.

Read in the Sun that Gary Bowyer is in the frame for the Blackpool job with Dundee lining up Callum Davidson as new manager .

Did he not manage Blackpool before?

He did manage them in 2016 and won promotion . Wonder would Callum Davidson take Dundee job? Massive rebuilding job needs done there to have any chance of staying up .

He'd make them solid defensively at least. Admittedly it's based only on watch the QP game on Friday but there wasn't a whole lot defending going on

Think he would tighten up there defense which going by the QP game was awful . For Dundee to stand any chance in staying up next year they would need to invest quite a bit of money in basically a new squad imo . Not sure the Dundee board will tbh personally think the Dundee jobs a bit of a poison chalice if it becomes available.

A blank canvas can be a great starting point.

Dundee are a club that should be playing in our top league. They're better supported than the likes of Livi, Ross County, St Johnstone and probably have more potential than the likes of St Mirren or Motherwell. Growing up , early 70's they were still a force in Scottish football. They seem to have been poorly managed and run for decades though. Davidson would be a decent appointment for them

They should be playing in the top flight and probably are better supported than Livvy, at Johnstone and maybe have more potential than at mirren or Motherwell though these are all clubs that have fairly good and experienced SPL squad's .

Dundee's got a squad that I read have 20 players are coming out of contract which is probably a good thing as the current squad aren't good enough imo which leaves a massive rebuilding job for the new manager and I'd doubt the Dundee board will provide suitable funds to keep them up next year as well .

I think Gary Bowyer is being quite clever in leaving at the right time as a hero that got them promoted before the **** hits the fan . Callum Davidson would be a great appointment for Dundee though I don't think Dundee are a good choice of club for him in all fairness.

Not for Davidson I would say, most St Johnstone fans will tell you it was when he started having to replace players is when he struggled. Isn’t known for his recruitment, although with Strachan there might be better.

Sure Jack Ross is a Dundee fan. Wonder if he'd be tempted. The Newcastle gig he has is a good one though especially with him still being based in the north east with his family.

I think Newcastle only gave him a short contract . He would be another good option for them imo. Wonder will Robbie neilson be considered for it ? 🤔

Don't think Dundee fans would be too enamoured with a failed Dundee United manager.

Neilson is definitely being spoken about up here in Dundee. So is Lennon but not sure what he's up to or if he'd be interested.

[NC1875]

Sure Dundee have 20 players out of contract come the summer. Clean slate for someone if they’re given funds.

Haven't heard much about lennon though I'd doubt he would be interested in the Dundee job tbh . Imagine the anger in Gorgie if Dundee beat hertz with neilson in charge. 😂
