On the subject of managers/coaches and the ongoing post mortem into our shocking World Cup display, I saw an astounding and worrying stat the other day. For every qualified coach (badges etc..) in Germany there is 17 professional/semi-pro players. In England, the number is over 800.

According to a mate who supports Sarfend, the chairman released a video blaming the players and the management team for the clubs relegation last season. He absolved himself of all responsibility and considering they were handed a points deduction for going into administration. Pretty much a complete penis if you ask me.

It's said a strong chairman never takes the easy option and panders to the whims of the fans. At least you can't accuse Ashley of being weak.
Hughton was never going to get them anywhere above mid table. He was going to go when his contract was up anyway so there was no point having him hanging around - Calderwood knew that.

Just another reason why I'm totally disillusioned with the Premiership. It was only last week he was being strongly linked with the England managers job, with a number of Bolton players giving him their backing. A total joke but the writing was on the wall as soon as the chicken farmers took over. What's the bets he'll be the next West Ham manager?
yea it never happens in the Football league does it i think you will find Burnley & Charlton are just as guilty of the above

Kilmarnock have confirmed Kenny Shiels' appointment as manager on a permanent basis.

The Russian national football championship unexpectedly drew attention of the world mass media after the defeat of the Chechen football club Terek coached by a world famous Dutch football player Ruud Gullit.  Before the match against Perm’s Akmar club the Chechen president Ramzan Kadyrov had given the two-time World Player of the Year an ultimatum: win against Ankar Perm or get the sack. On Tuesday, the team from Grozny lost to Perm’s Amkar 0:1 and Kadyrov announced that Gullit won’t coach Terek anymore.

Title: Re: Football Managers
Post by: BackOfTheNet on March 04, 2012, 13:45:31 pm
I feel a bit sorry for AVB (not that sorry, given how much he'll get paid off, but you know...). He inherited an ageing but highly influential core set of players there that previous managers have also stated hold too much sway behind the scenes. AVB's problem was that he inherited them at a time when they don't necessarily warrant a place in the team every week so they were against him almost from the off when they were left out. It's difficult in any walk of life to manage a team containing a petulant barrack-room-lawyer type who keeps stirring everyone up. Having two or three of them must make things next to impossible.

It strikes me as a very unhealthy situation and I have a feeling they might struggle under any manager until there is a proper changing of the guard in the playing staff.

Probably knows that he has taken Crawley as far as he can, size of club etc.. and would probably struggle in the third notwithstanding their possible points deduction.
Rotherham one of the bigger clubs in the fourth division for next season unless they achieve play-off success.  New stadium and the upturn in results from the inpetus and increased attendances should set him off with some success, I would say a good move.

I think Rodgers could be a good appointment for Liverpool. Young, talented, has an eye for a good player and sets his teams out to play good football.

However.... If they don't get off to a good start next season I fear he may get some of "The Hodgson Treatment" from the fans since he isn't a "big enough" name for them. Given some of the dross he will have to work with (by Premiership standards) I don't think he'll find it very easy to begin with.

He's better off out of it. I felt some of the abuse he got from supporters last year was beyond the pail and the Venkys and their "global football advisor" have f***ed him over and undermined him at every turn. Ultimately, he took them down so had they forced him out then there would have been a certain amount of understanding to the decision.

However they didn't, so you can really only judge the guy on how he does this year. He goes on a six match unbeaten run in the league but the moment they lose a game the "Kean out" chants start up again and within a week he's gone. f*** them, I hope he gets a decent payoff, goes on to better things elsewhere and the wheels completely fall off at Blackburn in his wake. It couldn't happen to a nicer bunch.

Feet comfortably under the table at Donny now the dole queue, too greedy, too quick.  His CV would've been so much better by staying at Doncaster. Silly boy.

I agree. Both are clubs which are seriously punching above their weights.

Wigan are doing very well to maintain a high-end Championship position given their Europa League commitments. Plus they're a small club for that league.

Crawley are a non-league club which has established itself in mid-table L1. What do the fans/board expect?

Interesting, they're not keen on failure the Italians. Whereas the FA pat each other on the back, say carry on Roy you are doing a fine job. Meanwhile they pay a cockney spiv from the entertainment and television industry (who openly stated he supports Brentford and Man Utd at the same time)a nice little QUANGO to come up with a joke solution to all England's problems that involves crushing everything from Premier League downwards. Face facts here we are sh!t but do you know what? We don't care, it's only a circus to break up the summer.
Cobblers back to training tomorrow a bright(er) season to look forward to as well so who honestly will care about England's plight come the beginning of August?
No-one
Well no-one but those FA bigwigs who will be scared stiff of having their next freeloading jolly to foreign shores cut short by the team getting knocked out!

4. Takes them to the bottom of league1 and sacked.

GJ is like most managers...he cannot halt a slide which he managed. Wilder has ticked that box....first Cobblers manager I've known too...

If you are in need of a laugh have a read of this When Saturday Comes article (WSC 173 July 2001) about Johnson being sacked from the Latvia manager's job. It includes the classic

"..John­son left Latvia a for­lorn, tragi-comic figure after the dis­grace of drawing with San Marino on April 25 (on a comparative scale, we are talking Real Madrid drawing with an injury dec­imated Corby Town) and losing even a math­em­atical possibility of qualifying for the 2002 World Cup."
and
"At the end of the game(against San Marino), the stadium echoed to the chant of “Dzonsons go home”, to a rhythm set by the drums he himself had bought. Johnson managed to make things worse by physically attacking a foot­ball rep­orter after the game and then blaming press negativity for the result. The next day, headlines talked of The Blackest Day in Latvian Football and resignation was finally wres­tled out of him. Since that eventful evening, abuse from Latvian coaches as well as the press has been heaped on John­son’s head."

I did find this just after Johnson became Cobblers manager and I prayed that something similar won't happen here ...... er... it did ! >:(

Post by: pattcobb on March 30, 2015, 19:05:24 pm
I was at Wembley yesterday. Wilkin is trying to do a Wilder and get rid of big earners (relatively) however he took Wrexham's skipper off with 20 minutes to go and 2-0 up, replaced him with a twenty year old local lad. The fickle crowd cheered the lad on as "one of their own" As a neutral I witnessed Wrexham loose all shape and composure, to eventually loose on pens. So thats what got him the sack ultimately.

PS Although North Ferriby had a decent left winger ( St Juste) Louis Moult was the best player on the pitch by a good margin.

Obviously as a Blade he will want a tilt at the Championship but do you think a Prem club could spin his head? I doubt a struggling team would as SUFC are as big as many lower Prem teams but does he stay untill it goes shit at Sheffield (Which it will do eventually) or leave as a hero with depressed fans as he did here?

Depends how the severance was worked out.....we could have given him a lump sum, we could still be paying him full whack as per his contract.

If he was on 2k a week with us contracted until July 18, and then he took a job on at Vale for 1k a week then we'd probably have to pay him the remaining 1k a week until his contract with us was due to end.

I guess we'd have to be careful with him and make sure we were still paying him properly otherwise he'd be suing for breach of contract...... ;)

He would have to be available for work to be able to claim his wage under the contract.
I believe managers usually negotiate for around half the remaining total due in a lump sum to cancel the contract and allow them to work elsewhere. There's a rumour that Johnson negotiated hard with Cardoza for a hefty pay off knowing full well he was about to walk back into the Yeovil job, which he did about three days later.

Totally different choice from anything that you will have ever considered.....

Darren Sarll - recently sacked by Stevenage.

Why him?

For some reason, since he took over at Stevenage, they had 1 call-up for England U-19, 4 for N.Ireland U-21, and 1 for N.Ireland U-19 (who is actually an U-16).  Seems like he had a way with developing youth players.........  (no comparison with Crewe under Dario Gradi, please).

Could be a way of getting money from the club for any owner looking to get some return........  ??????

Hopefully Colin will have the defenders well organised and make them hard to beat,

I wonder if 6 years of being an assistant has changed his philosophy so it will be interesting to see if he adopts the same style as he had here when it all began or not.

Quite sad really that he's not been a manager for a while, after the start he made to his managerial career with us I always thought he would establish himself as a top League One manager or a mid table Championship manager, never imagined he would step back and be a number two but learning the methods of others should have given him a few more strings to add to his bow so fingers crossed for him and wishing him all the best.

Get him in, quick.  He is brilliant, and will play Barcelona football, whilst instilling the squad with that winning mentality that we have missed in the games that we haven't won.  He will magically ensure that every player is 100% fit for every game, stronger in the tackle than every other player in the league, faster than every other player in the league, has no outside issues that may affect their performance..... AND.... cut the playing budget by 50%.

At the same time he will get on board sponsors who will give us a 50,000 capacity ground by the end of season.  It will be owned by fans & so self funding that supporters will no longer need to pay entrance fee for any game.  Carr's Bar will dispense free magic juice.  In fact, every contributor to this message board will be due a £5k bonus for being ace ---- and all that after just 8 months of his reign.

I wonder who will turn up there next? Seeing as they've said the job isn't being advertised, suggesting someone is/was already lined up.

Well, we have a few to catch up on in here....

Jason Tindall was sacked by Bournemouth and replaced on a caretaker basis by Jonathan Woodgate. The former Middlesbrough boss is doing a decent job, however Thierry Henry is new odds on favourite for the permanent role now.
Keith Curle was of course sacked by Northampton with Jon Brady taking over in caretaker charge, assisted by Marc Richards and Ian Sampson.
Paul Tisdale was sacked by Bristol Rovers on the same day.... again no permanent replacement there yet, Tommy Widdrington is holding the fort, Paul Cook is 2/1 favourite for the job.
Darrell Clarke left Walsall to take up the vacant managers position at Port Vale, Brian Dutton his former assistant at both Bristol Rovers and at Walsall was appointed Head Coach of the Saddlers until the end of the current season.
Now the other Bristol side, Bristol City are also managerless after Dean Holden was given his marching orders today, current Lincoln boss Michael Appleton is the early favourite, Paul Cook features again as does Eddie Howe. Current MK boss Russell Martin gets a mention in the list of possible replacements, as do Paul Simpson and Danny Cowley.

Perhaps indicative of the lack of managers with decent track records currently unemployed, AFC Wimbledon have today named their interim boss Mark Robinson as their new permanent Head Coach. Robinsons experience gained over 17 years at the club was the overriding factor behind his appointment.

I see Joey Barton is due in court again tomorrow, not in relation to the ongoing court case dating back to his Fleetwood days but on a new charge of knocking his wife about.

If the Bristol Rovers board have anything about them they'll follow Wales' example and suspend him until the outcome of the court case is known.

Three managerial casualties so far today.....

Nuno Espirito Santo has been removed as Tottenham Hotspur boss after just 124 days in charge.....8 wins from 17 games actually gave him a 47% win ratio, but that was deemed not good enough, although the style of play and lack of efforts on goal in the last two games can't have helped any!

Going one day longer was Markus Schoop who has been shown the door after 125 days in charge of Barnsley. His record was somewhat poorer than Santo's.... just one win from 16 games in charge for the Austrian who found Valerien Ismaels shoes too big to fill.

In our division Scunny have wielded the axe, Neil Cox's tenure has come to an end after just short of 15 months in charge, he won just 15 of 67 games for a win ratio of only 22%.

Prior to the McCarthy sacking at Cardiff we also saw Nigel Adkins sacked by Charlton (9 wins in 26 games over 7 months), Steve Bruce of course left Newcastle, Chris Beech left Carlisle after 22 months, Xisco Munoz managed almost a year at Watford before he was shown the door, Michael Flynn took Newport as far as he though he could in his 4 years and four months, and Chris Hughton exited Nottingham Forest in eleven months with 14 wins from 53 games.

Some others we might have missed over the last couple of months.... Ryan Lowe left Plymouth to take up the reigns at Preston, Steve Evans got the tin-tack from Gillingham after just short of three years. I had him odds on to go back to Boston before they poached Paul Cox from Kettering.

Hayden Mullins got the shove from Colchester United, Wayne Brown is back for a third "interim" spell. Steven Schumacher took up the post at Plymouth having previously been Lowes assistant. Kieran McKenna swapped 1st team coaching duties at Manchester United for the hotseat at Ipswich, and John Sheridan is back for a 6th stab at managing Oldham.

He did pretty well for Boro last season, just missing out playoffs. It seems lack of investment from the top an issue. Certainly rather delusional from some quarters up there...expecting relatively instant success as well as thinking Rob Edwards of FGR and failed at Stoke City fame will do a better job!

I think I may have said this before, but if I was a manager and was offered the Watford job I'd take their hand off. No matter how good or bad you do you'll get sacked, get a nice big payoff and no one will think any worse of you because everyone knows the club is an utter basket case.

Leam Richardson appointed new manager of Rotherham.

Richardson had a decent record at Wigan when guiding them to the League 1 title in 2022, however a poor start to life in the Championship saw him sacked just three months into the new season, and less than three weeks after signing a new three year deal!

This is interesting;

Celebrating 120 years of the Bantams, next season's offering will see an Adult (aged 24-64) again pay just £198 for their season ticket, working out at less than £8.61 per home match.

A Senior (65+) and a Young Person (17-23) will both be charged £174, with a Youth (12-16) paying £126 and a Junior (11 and under) £30.

Half our Season ticket prices. They need twice the gate we get to equal our revenue. Puts things in perspective.

I'd be concerned about him being a bit jaded but you never know.

The last couple of home games have seen home attendances of around 17000, then add on what is generally an increased away following as it is seen as a "big" day out. Stockport took nearly 2500 last night. Obviously they have the capacity to allow big away support in. They can also charge more as very little of the home support is pay full price. The locals get season tickets and then cherry pick the games and it still works out cheaper for them.

Regardless of whether they were sacking him, it has to be right for a chap of his age if he is struggling health wise. Hopefully the break from what must be a really stressful job will help his recovery.

12 games played and four points off the play offs. Similar to when John Eustace was replaced by Rooney at Brum. And that didnt work out either. That is one brutal division.
I am quite happy at the moment with league one mid table mediocrity . Man City, Leicester, Leeds, Forest, in fact most of that division I have seen us play league games at. And cup games for the rest.
Play offs for us, possible promotion? Not till we get a significant windfall. Lets just sit tight, and let the b@stards come down to us. And they will continue to fall.

An up and down season for PNE last season, 6 wins on the bounce at one stage, 2 wins in 11 at another point. After beating Rotherham at Easter they sat 8th in the table, five points from the playoffs. However they failed to score in seven of their last eight, losing the last five straight to end in 10th and 10 points adrift of that last playoff spot.
