Manager Merry Go Round

[Max B Gold]

In fairness, saying "football managers sometimes get sacked!" didn't really add too much to the discussion, did it Sid?

Just a statement of fact. Max was writing about a radio show and comments by a Celtic fan gloating about Rangers manager Micky Beale getting the..... ...I quote ''heave-ho'' from his job. Well this same fate happens to quite a few football managers, nothing that unusual about that happening, thus this thread ''Manager Merry Go Round'' !

Look forward to your searing insights later on Saturday, such as "sometimes a team will win a football match and other times they might lose!"

Or even draw

Yes sure, blah, blah, blah.
And now the SNP are on the way out in Scotland, How in the Scottish independence movement going, plus rejoining the EU ?

Odd.

Birmingham City have parted company with John Eustace. They are 6th in the Championship.

"It is essential that the Board of Directors and the football management are fully aligned on the importance of implementing a winning mentality and a culture of ambition across the entire Football Club."

I think they want Wayne Rooney as their manager, so have booted Eustace out

[DrWindy]

Amazes me that after the last ten years or so of severe underperformance they finally get a manager to stabilise them and have them at the right end of the table and they sack the manager. What’s more they go for Rooney! Do they never learn?

Staggering stuff.Eustace looked like he was doing a good job.
I guess they want a "name" manager, as that would allegedly attract "name" players.

Rooney is 37 but looks well into his 50s. Likely to some extent a drunk and a womaniser. Some example to set.! Good player, mind.
I guess his managerial record is marginally better than the likes of Gerrard/Lampard (also "names"), who are both terrible managers.

If my memory serves me well didn’t they do it a few years ago with Zola? Doing really well and then went into free fall. Just not sure what Rooney has shown to warrant the job. Time will tell who is right.

[Scuba Diver]

They did indeed, and Zola won 2 games in 24 before being shunted aside..

A truly fantastic player but clearly not cut out for management (Zola)

I can only assume the BCFC board saw the galvanising job he did at Derby; where in fairness he did well to unite a club in absolute freefall.. He was pretty quick to step away though when he wasn't being pushed and (although they gave him his first chance in management at a Championship club), showed little loyalty once they'd gone down..

He'll need to do a similar galvanising job at Birmingham since it's clear the fans don't want him, and if the players were unhappy with Eustace, it's unlikely they'd be 6th after years of stinking the league out..

Seems like a different world. 24 games is of course no time at all but with just 2 wins he'd probably have been given the boot after 10 these days.

Sheffield Wednesday do not appoint Ritchie Wellens. Instead its Danny Rohl, a 34 year old German

[Proposition Joe]

Seems like a risky rohl of the dice.

[ComeOnYouOs]

I dont understand the bit about richie wellens?
Why would they appoint Richie Wellens?

Why wouldn't they? He's super (and had been mentioned by one or two as being a potential).

[Bergen]

I don`t think it has been mentioned that Matt Lockwood has been sacked as the head coach of the Montserrat national football team.

[Proposition Joe]

Wasn't Lee Bowyer Montserrat boss?

[Proposition Joe]

Oh wow, Lockwood was his predecessor. Did not know that. Also, how is Lyle Taylor without a club? Only 33.

[Bergen]

MK Dons has parted company with Graham Alexander. After 13 games in charge .

Not so Great

[The Reverend]

MK Dons has parted company with Graham Alexander. After 13 games in charge .

He has really struggled since leaving Salford. Guess it ain’t so easy when you can’t massively overpay and attract players who should be playing 2 divisions higher. The fact that he didn’t actually win the conference despite having, at the time, such a comparatively huge budget could be seen as a failure in retrospect.

Also shows what a spectacular job Justin did.

[Bergen]

Mike Williamson new head coach at MK Dons.

[Bergen]

Head coach Mark Kennedy has left the Imps.

[Bergen]

Millwall have parted company with Gary Rowett.

[Bergen]

Colchester United have sacked head coach Ben Garner.
