Strange one up at Sunderland. Alex Neil has resigned to join Stoke. Title: Re: Managerial Merry-go-round 2022-2023; Recycling Centre Post by: Bedford Red on Saturday, August 27, 2022, 09:11:18 Strange one up at Sunderland. Alex Neil has resigned to join Stoke. Yeah, i saw that yesterday. Not sure what the draw is about the Stoke job that's enticed him from Sunderland. I would have thought he's got more chance of success at Sunderland than Stoke. Title: Re: Managerial Merry-go-round 2022-2023; Recycling Centre Post by: Quagmire on Saturday, August 27, 2022, 09:30:02 He was only on a 12 month rolling contract at Sunderland.
Title: Re: Managerial Merry-go-round 2022-2023; Recycling Centre Post by: Peter Venkman on Saturday, August 27, 2022, 10:41:31 Sunderland managers job has always been a poison chalice.
Massive club with a huge fanbase and great history languishing well below the level they should be at and the level the fans expect, paying large wages and a huge squad has hindered them rather than helping them on the pitch it seems. Not many managers with the balls to take that job I would think. Title: Re: Managerial Merry-go-round 2022-2023; Recycling Centre Post by: Jimmy StoppedMoaning on Saturday, August 27, 2022, 14:00:43 Dyche might fancy it.

Title: Re: Managerial Merry-go-round 2022-2023; Recycling Centre Post by: DiV on Tuesday, August 30, 2022, 08:35:57 Scott Parker gone from Bournemouth
Title: Re: Managerial Merry-go-round 2022-2023; Recycling Centre Post by: DiV on Tuesday, August 30, 2022, 08:37:49 I mean sure they’ve won 1 and lost 3 but their fixtures have been Villa, Man City, Arsenal & Liverpool ffs
Not many other teams in the league are going to come out of those 4 fixtures with more than 3 points. Title: Re: Managerial Merry-go-round 2022-2023; Recycling Centre Post by: tans on Tuesday, August 30, 2022, 08:55:03 Quote AFC Bournemouth can announce that the club has parted company with head coach Scott Parker. Maxim Demin said: “I would like to place on record my gratitude to Scott and his team for their efforts during their time with us. Our promotion back to the Premier League last season under his tenure will always be remembered as one of the most successful seasons in our history. “However, in order for us to keep progressing as a team and a Club as a whole, it is unconditional that we are aligned in our strategy to run the club sustainably. We must also show belief in and respect for one another. That is the approach that has brought this club so much success in recent history, and one that we will not veer from now. Our search for a new head coach will begin immediately.” Gary O’Neil will take interim charge of the team, and will be assisted by Shaun Cooper and Tommy Elphick. The sustainability bit in that statement is gold. Title: Re: Managerial Merry-go-round 2022-2023; Recycling Centre Post by: adje on Tuesday, August 30, 2022, 09:15:23 When they inevitably go down,who better than Parker to get em back up?
Title: Re: Managerial Merry-go-round 2022-2023; Recycling Centre Post by: Robinz on Tuesday, August 30, 2022, 09:18:43 Parker will come to Swindon

Wonder if Dyche will turn up there Title: Re: Managerial Merry-go-round 2022-2023; Recycling Centre Post by: Peter Venkman on Tuesday, August 30, 2022, 09:55:20 Very harsh on Parker but I know a couple of Bournemouth fans and they didnt like his style of play even last season when they so nearly won the league title, seems very knee jerk though as stated above look at the teams they have played.
Must be more to it than just Saturdays result, loads of muff fans were very upset at his comments post game and general complaining over the last month and that seems to have been the tipping point for the owner too. Got Sean Dyche written all over it for the job. Title: Re: Managerial Merry-go-round 2022-2023; Recycling Centre Post by: Quagmire on Tuesday, August 30, 2022, 10:11:01 I fucking hate Bournemouth.

A long-term approach, systems manager working for a club that want success yesterday and have an itchy trigger finger. For who? Not for Potter. Brighton have a ceiling in the premier league and even if Potter fails at Chelsea, the majority of the blame will be on the club and players, given how they treat all managers. You don't often get offered a job at that level of club. He could get sacked from Chelsea and still get the England job for example, and make bank while at it. Title: Re: Managerial Merry-go-round 2022-2023; Recycling Centre Post by: singingiiiffy on Wednesday, September 7, 2022, 14:04:23 Itchy trigger finger - same as some STFC fans…. question. has a swindon manager in say the last 20-30 years ever managed to turn a club/fans views around? di canio had a rough start but always the fans on board. I always feel like the club hold on to people for too long but its a fine line. Barton could very easily have been sacked by December last year but turned it round. I never really see this at swindon. it's either all good or all shit. never really fluctuates from shit to good for us and most sackings are justified. I so want lindsey to do good as all of our managers. this bad vibe from day 1 and the season is playing out in the same style Title: Re: Managerial Merry-go-round 2022-2023; Recycling Centre Post by: Frigby Daser on Wednesday, September 7, 2022, 20:38:52 I’d say 2 of the last 3.

Title: Re: Managerial Merry-go-round 2022-2023; Recycling Centre Post by: Pookemon on Thursday, September 8, 2022, 07:49:29 I’d say 2 of the last 3. Wellens and Garner. Both came with the same “cheap option” concerns. Both by winning games early although Garner was always going to be given some slack given the shitshow he took over. Any manager not winning games for a team expected to be challenging is going to be under pressure. If they have been good elsewhere or a played to a decent level it will give them a bit more time, or a window if taking over mid season. Title: Re: Managerial Merry-go-round 2022-2023; Recycling Centre Post by: 4D on Thursday, September 8, 2022, 08:18:48 I see some of the Charlton fans are moaning about Garnerball already.

Presumably people on here have been subject to an internal promotion at work?

Options b & c could take some time & try the employers patience depending on how keen they are. Once in post do people then view themselves as the cheap option?

Probably not, more likely as entirely deserving of the promotion. I am sure there some empirical evidence to prove me wrong, but in my experience, internal promotions are indeed often much less costly than recruiting externally and generally quite swift to conclusion. People have far less of a tendency to negotiate with their existing employer and to recruit externally you have two cost factors - first the recruitment costs themselves, and second, the fact you generally have to entice people away from secure employment and you pay a premium to take existing experience (you don't generally recruit someone who is more junior when doing so externally, so there is a bigger salary premium than taking an internal hire who is stepping up).

Aye, my own experience was effectively ending up taking on two jobs, saving the employer a packet in the process. Probably common practice at the time. Out of the employment ladder loop for about 7 years with being self employed. Much better work / life balance as a result. So yeah, SL may well have worked out as the cheaper option.

Title: Re: Managerial Merry-go-round 2022-2023; Recycling Centre Post by: DiV on Wednesday, September 21, 2022, 18:00:16 Pretty sure he won't go, and good on them for for sticking with him considering how trigger happy modern football is, but Howe is getting a pretty easy ride at Newcastle considering the start they have had (very similar to ours until we won the last couple and the vultures were circling Lindsey in the stands) and the cash they have spent. Howe’s overall record there is 15/10/11 from 36 games. If you put that into a full season that’s 55 points (would have seen them finish 8th in last seasons table) but with two games left. Meaning they could have finished 6/7/8th. I expect they’d take something like this season. Plus, I could be wrong but I expect the Geordies have bit more patience that our fanbase Title: Re: Managerial Merry-go-round 2022-2023; Recycling Centre Post by: Abrahammer on Wednesday, September 21, 2022, 18:06:10 Can’t see Howe going yet.

Charlton Fans not happy. BigDiddyBigDiddy September 24 Garner out. Protests against TS. Nothing else to suggest BigRedEvilBigRedEvil September 24 Garnerball is ineffective and needs to change, we just don't have the players for it.

RodneyCharltonTrotta September 24 2 wins in 10 and 16th in League One just above the relegation zone. We kidded ourselves our team/ squad is an improvement on last year. It’s not.

Well we are 3 points off relegation, just got easily beaten, have an exceptionally fragile defence, have not won in what, 6 games? You had better fix this bloody quickly Ben because otherwise we will be looking at L2. Tippy tappy slow rubbish with no defensive shape. We are in trouble. Yet with our players, we should not be.

So Rotherham sit in the top half of a division higher than Exeter, a bigger pull for players than Exeter due to location and better finances and they have an average home crowd of nearly double that of Exeter in a nearly brand new purpose built stadium.

After watching the Newport match and seeing a similar style of play to last year with Garner and as to how Wellens previously did. When SL first was made up to manager he maintained that he would continue this style. I thought it was a follow on from Garner but now starting to think it maybe the Swindon style long into the future especially with all the new young exciting players coming on board. Back to the question who is driving this forward? Title: Re: Managerial Merry-go-round 2022-2023; Recycling Centre Post by: oxonrobin on Wednesday, October 5, 2022, 20:35:43 I read some of the posts on that forum. Fair to say they aren’t at all keen on Garner or Payne. The grass isn’t always greener it seems. Hard to imagine anyone not liking Payne. Always covers so much ground, effort levels are top tier. Must be brilliant to play alongside. Similar to how our fans have taken to Wakeling and his work rate this season. Can’t not like the guy.

Shows what I know! Although of course, he could have fitted better here, Crawley is a bit of a strange club at the moment. I mean if we looking at a young coach highly regarded at youth level looking to move into management - you’d definitely look favourably on Kevin Betsy. Whilst I’m in no position to say exactly how much of Arsenals current crop of young talent has been heavily influenced by Betsy personally - Arsenal right now very much have a good young squad of footballers. I do wonder whether looking at youth coaches at the top, top level is maybe a bad idea because of the high ceiling of talent they work with. You know, did he try and get the Crawley players to do the same as what some of the best U23s in the country we’re doing in a top academy. Perhaps the highly respected coaches lower down like Garner & the QPR man whose name has escaped me are a better bet for lower league managers because they work with lesser talent and it’s less of a ‘drop’ having said that the ex Liverpool youth coach did a pretty good job at Blackpool from what I can tell.

Sean Dyche was on the guestlist. Not one poster on the WBA forum can be said to be unhappy about Bruce being sacked, Dyche is unsurprisingly the fans favourite polling 40% of the votes so far. Carrick 2nd most voted for.He dodged my mates question about whether he was coming to save the Baggies or not. He didnt say no though. Dyche would be a good fit for them, big club floundering low in the Championship and with a decent squad TBH and a decent amount of funding, nice and central too, not too far from his home in Kettering.

As I understand it, he took a new job which had better terms and conditions of employment and which appeared to offer enhanced prospects of career advancement. I suspect that most of us would have done the same in similar circumstances.
Title: Re: Managerial Merry-go-round 2022-2023; Recycling Centre Post by: SleafordRobin on Tuesday, December 13, 2022, 18:10:56 I wasn't overly bothered when he left (Garnerball not for me), he did a cracking job under extreme circumstances and we achieved more than any of us expected. What really pissed me off was taking Payne & Egbo, (think Wallacott would have left anyway) when he said he wouldn't return for any of our players. I know they were out of contract & likely to leave anyway, but going to Charlton with him really fucked me off!

We all hate Garner for fucking off, even though he did it at the end of the season, went to a bigger club for more pay, yet everyone is screaming for Charlie Austin to come back, despite the fact last time he was here he handed in a transfer request during the middle of the season and we were relegated.

We all hate Garner for fucking off, even though he did it at the end of the season, went to a bigger club for more pay, yet everyone is screaming for Charlie Austin to come back, despite the fact last time he was here he handed in a transfer request during the middle of the season and we were relegated. Just to play devil's advocate, I don't hate Garner at all. I would have rather he'd have stayed and built what he had started but I understand his thought process and managers come and go. I'm on the fence about Austin as well. I'd rather see him here than at Bristol Rovers of course, but I'm not convinced he's going to be the messiah (or a very naughty boy!)

Then at full time he walked round the pitch clapping the fans and it was returned with applause and austin chants! as should happen with all players that return really! he had to leave when he did. incredible player, one of the very best natural goalscorers/poachers and should really have had some caps for england when you look at someone strikers that have over the years.

I also dont think anyone could begrudge him for leaving for a much bigger club, in a higher division closer to his home.

Even if he doesn’t end up joining us surely whatever relationship Clem has with Lindsey has been soured. Maybe Clem has become as disillusioned with the football as the fan base and is considering a change of direction.
Here’s hoping.

I agree with what you’ve said with regards to Garner but I feel a lot of that at the time got brushed under the carpet because we had McKirdy who was the complete opposite. So Garner didn’t really need to pander to the fanbase or have any personality because McKirdy had it in spades. Obviously winning football matches helped Garner massively. I’m well past caring about our managers personality if I’m honest, I’d gladly support Boris Johnson if he won us football matches….

Nobody's going to sign any of our players based on successful pass percentages. They're going to sign them on output. Goals, Assists, Chances created. If the season ended today at the half way point, the only clubs higher up the chain who might consider spending money on one of our players would be on Wakeling. And even that is a push now given he's been fairly average since signing his new contract. So if we aren't getting promoted, and we also aren't putting anybody in the shop window, that's a 0/2 missions completed and doesn't bode well for the management team.

As for a Wellens type manager. Wellens was unproven when he came here with the relegation, in difficult circumstances, at Oldham. Getting those one or two key players in made all the difference with Doyle and Grant. Not sure he is going anywhere quickly and the run of poor home performances mirrored what happened under Garner last season. It might need something to click like Garner got the 5-2 vs Northampton last year and the feel good around the City game Title: Re: Managerial Merry-go-round 2022-2023; Recycling Centre Post by: The Artist Formerly Known as Audrey on Wednesday, December 28, 2022, 13:05:20 Unlike the 5-2 at Mansfield only a short while ago
Title: Re: Managerial Merry-go-round 2022-2023; Recycling Centre Post by: Oaksey Moonraker on Wednesday, December 28, 2022, 13:57:00 The 5-2 on NYD last season did get a feel good factor going again after a run of 1 win in 5 at home and the Stevenage 0-0.
Then Garner followed it up with draws at home to Rovers and Crawley and losing to Exeter. Maybe that feel good factor didn't last long but Garner picked up enough away wins to keep the pressure off. Title: Re: Managerial Merry-go-round 2022-2023; Recycling Centre Post by: Bogus Dave on Wednesday, December 28, 2022, 15:15:46 We could beat good teams last season, but trip up against mediocre teams - which suggested quality, but not consistency
Our form against the top half so far this season is poor, which is why equivalent points doesn’t feel the same year on year.

Title: Re: Managerial Merry-go-round 2022-2023; Recycling Centre Post by: The Artist Formerly Known as Audrey on Wednesday, December 28, 2022, 16:07:16 I think I’m right on this.
Both Crawley and Crewe have lost every game since beating us. That puts a bit of perspective on how horrendously awful we are at times. Title: Re: Managerial Merry-go-round 2022-2023; Recycling Centre Post by: Nemo on Wednesday, December 28, 2022, 16:19:19 Sorry, this is a bit of a statto post, but I have far too much time on my hands today, and started looking at the pretty impressive array of statistics on WhoScored (https://www.whoscored.com/Regions/252/Tournaments/9/England-League-Two) to try and work out what someone (like say, our current hierarchy) who was statistically inclined would make of our season to date.
The interesting thing that stands out to me is how similar we are on almost all of the metrics to Leyton Orient. Unfortunately, the metrics where we differ are points (17 behind), goals scored (9 behind) and goals conceded (11 more), all of which are fairly crucial. On the next tier down though, we're almost identical - STFC are second in the league for average possession, pass completion % and second bottom for tackles made per game. In all three cases, the teams either side of us are Salford (10th) and Leyton Orient (1st). When comparing to Orient, our passing style is almost identical (both 81% short passes, compare to Stevenage on 69%). Orient have even more of the play in the middle third of the pitch than we do (although both way above the divisional average). Think someone posted this a few days ago - https://theanalyst.com/eu/2022/08/league-two-stats-2022-23/ and it's a super interesting page if anyone is a bit of a statto. It generally tells the same story - Salford, Orient and ourselves are by a distance the most possession based sides in the division. One of those sides is performing much better than the other two. Maybe Richie Wellens is good at this. Or maybe he's just lucky, not that the difference really matters! Title: Re: Managerial Merry-go-round 2022-2023; Recycling Centre Post by: RobertT on Wednesday, December 28, 2022, 16:33:19 I am not saying Wellens is a great Manager, but maybe he has a better approach in delivering on those stats. BY an large I seem to remember him shunning the youth/reserves to a degree. He did sign younger players at times, but ones who could deliver now. He didn't seem that worried about developing players. His approach was to do well now, not worry about 5 years time. I am not sure he'd fit with our overall philosophy, but I reckon he'd have pulled together a more coherent squad for THIS season.
Title: Re: Managerial Merry-go-round 2022-2023; Recycling Centre Post by: NotHarryAgombar on Wednesday, December 28, 2022, 21:49:19 The thing a number of posters have chosen to ignore is that we have been significantly disrupted by injury and illness in recent weeks - we have played a left back at centre half for the last month, and our best two midfielders Gladwin and Williams, one was at the World Cup and the other injured.
The squad is not as deep as some like to think - or choose to say in order to justify the ludicrous “Lindsey out” talk - and despite those challenges we are still 5th. I agree we need more goal power, but don’t forget our striker options have also been affected by injury for long periods. There is a tendency to overreact to every result - win or lose. If we stick with SL and add some quality and depth to the squad in January we will at least make the play offs. My final point - to those who say “sack SL” - who would you appoint who is available and guaranteed to do a better job? Generally if a club is sacking a manager they have the replacement lined up. It is easy to say “sack him” but I haven’t seen anyone offer a viable alternative yet!

I think you make fair points with regards to the injuries having affected team selections, one I’ve made myself a few times.

Title: Re: Managerial Merry-go-round 2022-2023; Recycling Centre Post by: DiV on Wednesday, December 28, 2022, 22:05:31 Like let’s say Jephcott is our best and main striker.
Would we have won Monday with him fully fit and playing? Same argument but with Clayton and the defence. Title: Re: Managerial Merry-go-round 2022-2023; Recycling Centre Post by: Batch on Wednesday, December 28, 2022, 22:17:56 With Clayton back, would we have gone to a back 4 with BT left back?

Maybe. Probably wouldn't have changed it though it gives an option Title: Re: Managerial Merry-go-round 2022-2023; Recycling Centre Post by: DMC on Thursday, December 29, 2022, 09:56:31 The thing a number of posters have chosen to ignore is that we have been significantly disrupted by injury and illness in recent weeks - we have played a left back at centre half for the last month, and our best two midfielders Gladwin and Williams, one was at the World Cup and the other injured. I don't think people are ignoring it but on Monday watched a game yesterday where we had a right back at left whilst we had 2 left backs playing center half and in a number 8. The player who started left-back first game is now our right back and the left-back that day started upfront Monday, We then took off our lone striker for a 5ft wide striker. He had a full squad to choose from Monday position wise and still chose to shoe horn players in. He told us that Khan was unfroppable 3 games ago and leaves him unused on his return from injury. He is making some really odd decisions despite the illness and injury. Also, if there was illness as he says then more fool him not making the changes to the teamThe squad is not as deep as some like to think - or choose to say in order to justify the ludicrous “Lindsey out” talk - and despite those challenges we are still 5th. I agree we need more goal power, but don’t forget our striker options have also been affected by injury for long periods. There is a tendency to overreact to every result - win or lose. If we stick with SL and add some quality and depth to the squad in January we will at least make the play offs. My final point - to those who say “sack SL” - who would you appoint who is available and guaranteed to do a better job? Generally if a club is sacking a manager they have the replacement lined up. It is easy to say “sack him” but I haven’t seen anyone offer a viable alternative yet!

It is easy to say “sack him” but I haven’t seen anyone offer a viable alternative yet! We are 5th only because we have played more games than everyone else. By the time others catch up we will be 9th or 10th. Our form is awful, no home win in 2 and a half months, 3 goals in 6 games is relegation fodder, not a team looking for promotion. There are clear tactical deficiencies in the way we set up as others have described and we can't defend or score set pieces. We don't counter attack, nearly always turning back, rarely get 1 on 1s with a striker in front of goal. No-one runs ahead of the forwards from midfield, but we do get 6 stood in a static line up front occasionally which never works. We've failed to score in nearly half our games and have had starting 11s at home with 6 defenders in it and he's continually out thought by by other managers. I could go on. We started poorly looking like a lower mid table team, then scraped a few wins culminating in a cracking performance at mansfield but that has not been followed up so has to be considered a one off. If he had tried things during games, been more pragmatic at times, or showed any sign of improving individuals or the collective I could forgive him, but we can't continue to trust a process that clearly isn't working. In terms of saying that there aren't any replacements, that is a stupid comment, there are so many out of work managers, coaches and recently retired pros who would jump at the job, we're a big team in this league.

On that basis, who are you bringing in to replace SL then?

Madness now what coaches at these clubs are earning Plus, so many more positions available than 20 years ago. Better wages & better job security. Plus, with how short term managers are these days you can see why they all move on first chance they get. A lot of people wondered why Garner would go to Charlton - a seemingly basket case club who go through managers rather than stay here with some sort of stability. Well, at Charlton he’s done what? 6 months work & has now gotten a pay off. It’s why so many managers go to Watford. They probably get 2/3 years wages for 3 months work. It’s probably more financially beneficial to be a shit manager who goes from job to job due to the pay off for being sacked.

Clem thus far has proven to be quite a loyal employer to be fair. Probably lots of factors as why Garner picked Charlton over Swindon but I doubt the probability of being sacked by Charlton in 6 months was something he was bothered about - for him it’s a big pay day I expect.

Suspect it's used as a guise to reduce the budget.Can’t understand why more clubs don’t follow this model! I think many clubs do this but do it in a balanced way. Going all out nursery has a low chance of succeeding. Winning football matches drives revenue growth at this level. If you do that you also showcase the talent. A player from a shit team will never command a much of a fee. Wouldn't surprise me if Artell went there given those comments.

Massive backwards step from Viera IMHO. But the only objective for them is to avoid relegation, then it will be new manager in the summer either way. Its the thing with these middling PL teams, the main objective each season is just don't get relegated, they literally don't have anything else to realistically play for, I am not sure I could be arsed to support a team doing that kind of thing what is there to look forward to. I fear we would be similar if we got to the Championship without massive investment, just a prolonged period of frantically treading water at best.

I appreciate what you are saying, survivial is a good season for about 50% of all Premier League teams every season. As you state without serious investment they cannot ever be challenging at the top half of the table, even Newcastle with their massive investment have struggled to get into the top half at times yet by most would be considered one of the struggling 50% of teams normally.

Title: Re: Managerial Merry-go-round 2022-2023; Recycling Centre Post by: Mooneyraker on Tuesday, April 4, 2023, 18:58:10 The club have fallen into the trap of largely playing to Twitter these days. A mistake in my eyes.
Title: Re: Managerial Merry-go-round 2022-2023; Recycling Centre Post by: Trashbat? on Tuesday, April 4, 2023, 19:16:08 My understanding is that the women’s team is yet another thing Clem has taken advice on, from people with their own motives associated to the club.
Title: Re: Managerial Merry-go-round 2022-2023; Recycling Centre Post by: DiV on Tuesday, April 4, 2023, 20:46:53 I was at the women’s game on Sunday (and the previous one at the CG)
On both occasions I’ve found it a little odd how quiet the management team were in the dugout. One of the ‘highlights’ if you will of attending reserve team and youth fixtures at the CG was that it was quiet enough that you could hear the ‘talk’ from the players and staff. An insight not really possible at first team games. That’s not to say shouting, ranting and raving on the sidelines is the only way to manager or being quiet and calm means he’s not doing an effective a job as a manager. Sunday he had a big coat on and his hood up and to be honest without the information available on the internet I’d have had no clue who was who out of three staff. Again, that’s not me having a definitive opinion on the whole thing because I’ve seen very little - just pointing out something that really jumped out to me on both occasions. Title: Re: Managerial Merry-go-round 2022-2023; Recycling Centre Post by: DiV on Tuesday, April 4, 2023, 20:51:12 Everyone on Twitter seems to have become an expert on the ins and outs of the women’s team which is interesting. …in fairness, all I’ve seen on social under this article is people being disappointed it wasn’t Sandro or suggesting Sandro should be next. Title: Re: Managerial Merry-go-round 2022-2023; Recycling Centre Post by: MangoRed on Tuesday, April 4, 2023, 20:59:48 Everyone on Twitter seems to have become an expert on the ins and outs of the women’s team which is interesting. I’ve got no idea on STFC women, nor any idea on women’s football. But what I do know is, it’s fucking rancid that finding out they are no longer in the job was the first time they’ve had any correspondence from Club management. Thought we were merging? Reeks of box ticking this merging stuff. How the fuck can you merge and not correspond with the management of said team? 😂 another episode in the day to day circus of running stfc. Like someone’s already alluded to above, I really hope it’s not “jobs for the boys” and we see another “associate” of the regime magically turn up. Title: Re: Managerial Merry-go-round 2022-2023; Recycling Centre Post by: Tails on Wednesday, April 5, 2023, 10:06:34 I don't see what the issue is. New management effectively took over the women's team and wanted to do something different, would it not have been worse if the first conversation they had was "hey guys can't wait to work with you" and then they got told they weren't being kept on? Think people are being influenced by the current state of things not being great.
Title: Re: Managerial Merry-go-round 2022-2023; Recycling Centre Post by: horlock07 on Wednesday, April 5, 2023, 10:10:28 Whoop another thing of rumour and conjecture to beat the regime with.
Before everyone gets too over excited its worth remembering that there are two sides to every story and at this stage only on has ben heard. IIRC the womens side has/had a DoF and their own Chair who one would have expected to liaise with the wider club hierarchy etc so unless you are intimately aware of the line of command I am not sure how any conclusions can be drawn from the statement of an irate ex employee (was he an employee, is it a full time paid post?). Talking of Twitter, there does seem to be quite the lack of dismayed tweets from the players about the guys departure?

Title: Re: Managerial Merry-go-round 2022-2023; Recycling Centre Post by: Mooneyraker on Wednesday, April 5, 2023, 10:36:21 My point is simply why has the club, which is struggling to manage even its most basic functions, taken on the extra workload of the women's team now? Fine to set up a target of fully integrating them in X number of years, but seems a baffling decision that only plays to the sort of people who hector on Twitter and genuinely believe that the Lionesses would beat the England men's team.

Hopefully to significant cash from ChelseaTitle: Re: Managerial Merry-go-round 2022-2023; Recycling Centre Post by: DiV on Wednesday, April 5, 2023, 19:14:07 They did it last year this isn't a new thing. They obviously have a plan in mind, club has a huge list of things it can be hit with a stick with but not sure this really is one Where as I’m the opposite. I think this really is something to question the club about because the large majority, if not all the facts are there in black & white unlike a lot of the other things around the club that are very grey. Women’s team got integrated with the men’s team. Little to no budget / resources. Coaching team purely volunteers. Team by all accounts (results & league table) having a good season. Four games left to go in aforementioned season. First interaction with the club (Angus) results into two volunteers being ‘sacked’ Consider the previous two years the club have had: Garner pre good end of season run, Lindsey pre being poached and Morris with 1 win in 11 - it’s mad to think that Lally is the first manager they’ve sacked. …now they might have something really big / amazing lined up but why would you implement that in a season that has 4 games left? Only really makes sense if you were in say danger of a relegation and were banking on a new manager bounce or something & if the club does have something big / amazing lined up would it have been worth keeping Lally & co on for a transition period and / or kept them at the club just in a different capacity for continuity….or just doing it in the summer after the season has finished? I have only Lally’s social media + one conversation with someone close to the set up but they had a two year plan and have pretty much hit their target for year one. The only manager to do so this season I’d argue & yet the one that’s been given the chop. Where is the logic behind any of that? Seriously. I have no doubt it’s far from the club or fans biggest concern (I’m sure most couldn’t care less) but it’s a lot more fact orientated than the other stuff with regards to directors / Karachi / player recruitment / spreadsheets / Morris etc Just feels like another poorly timed, poorly made odd decision by someone who could have well just flipped a coin. Of course I could be eating humble pie in a few days (…or closer to 6 weeks) or there could have been a player revolt or something. Lost the dressing room blah blah blah.

Title: Re: Managerial Merry-go-round 2022-2023; Recycling Centre Post by: The Artist Formerly Known as Audrey on Monday, April 17, 2023, 13:42:57 Don’t really know if they binned him or the famous ‘by mutual consent’. I notice Flitcroft May have been stirring behind the scenes according to their fans. Apparently ‘senior players’ were consulted which is a dreadful way to come to a decision. He wanted to join Pompey recently but they were put off by the amount of compo they’d have to cough.
Anyways, hope they get relegated. Title: Re: Managerial Merry-go-round 2022-2023; Recycling Centre Post by: tans on Wednesday, April 19, 2023, 12:14:07 Mike Flynn sacked from Walsall

Walsall would be a good career move and a big step up from the NPL.

Title: Re: Managerial Merry-go-round 2022-2023; Recycling Centre Post by: Peter Venkman on Wednesday, May 24, 2023, 13:19:55 Jody Morris linked with St Johnstone He had an interview with them before the end of the season IIRC and quickly went to the top of the bookies lists then.Wouldn’t be surprised to see Morris pop up quickly at St Johnstone. Think they have a vacancy and he’s very highly regarded there. Gives him a chance to get straight back on the bicycle so to speak. And the fans like him too. Hello! St Johnstone fan here. Just wanted to pop in and give you some insight on Jody Morris' time with us. Jody signed for us in 2008 when we were in the Scottish First Division. He hadn't played for a while after leaving Millwall and admitted that he had fallen out of love with the game. He came to us as he had previously played with our then manager, Derek McInnes, at Millwall. Initially our fans were sceptical when he first signed due to some of the off field baggage, but those initial doubts were quickly put to bed when he scored a diving header in front of our away support in a game against local rivals Dundee. After that there was no looking back, he was an instrumental part of the team that led us back to the Premier League after being in the lower league for 7 years and also led the team to a Scottish Cup semi final. Both on and off the pitch he was a brilliant leader. He relocated his family to Scotland, worked closely with our youth teams and was involved in supporters functions and the local community. He was a big part of the reason that a culture was installed in the club that has allowed us to go on and win two Scottish Cups, a League Cup and compete in Europe several times. I know that many Saints fans were hoping that Jody would be our next manager, but unlikely that this will happen now. He has all the tools to be a great success at Swindon, he has good knowledge of the Scottish leagues, knows the English youth system well and is well respected in the game. I hope he does well, you have got a real leader at the helm of your club now and someone who will make sure the players work hard for him every week. All the best. Title: Re: Managerial Merry-go-round 2022-2023; Recycling Centre Post by: Batch on Wednesday, May 24, 2023, 13:50:11 Jody Morris linked with St Johnstone Would be extremely interesting to see he gets on there so quickly after leaving us. Title: Re: Managerial Merry-go-round 2022-2023; Recycling Centre Post by: ChalkyWhiteIsGod on Wednesday, May 24, 2023, 13:51:43 He might do alright. He had a shit set of circumstances here, but still underperformed. If the threw his toys out the pram about it early and didn't put his heart in to it, then it may have contributed.
He was never exactly known as the most mature as a player, which did worry me when he was first linked.

Thought he was doing well there. Strange one. If your definition of doing well is hanging around at 17/18/19 in the table. Cotterill is one of those managers who do well early in their career, in his case at Nam, and milk it for the rest of their lives. Occasionally one of his clubs has a good season, but it's more about circumstances rather than what he brings to the table. His non-mediocre seasons are: - Inheriting a dream (and fraudulently assembled) largely Championship standard squad from Sven at Notts County and pissing the league 2 - Winning League One with Bristol City again with someone else's squad. Maybe he should work with a DoF because he seems to be able to coach and lead a team of someone else gets him decent players. Title: Re: Managerial Merry-go-round 2022-2023; Recycling Centre Post by: Bob's Orange on Friday, June 2, 2023, 12:33:16 Shrews finished 12th last season. I'd say that's probably par for them.

Ok, so it’s guess work as to whether he would have performed well given more time but that genuinely felt like a decent appointment at the time In the Premier league time is something that is very rarely given to managers. Take Arteta at Arsenal, his start there was pretty shaky and he was certainly under pressure, fans were not impressed and wanted him out. But the board kept faith, made some decent signings and they've flourished and had a great season. I think Spurs are going to have to do similar, stick with someone for at least a season to get 'Angeball' properly setup.

Had a great season, I say... Biggest choke job ever.... Two ways of looking at the same thing I guess... If I was an Arsenal fan I would definitely have a feeling of 'what could have been'. Not taking maximum points from Forest and Southampton at home when in a very commanding position and then being very much second best in the game away to Manchester City would have been hugely disappointing. But looking at things more holistically, they hadn't finished as runners up since 15/16. Since then, their league finishes were 5th (Wenger), 6th (Wenger), 5th, (Emery) 8th (Arteta), 8th (Arteta), 5th (Arteta) and then 2nd. (this season) Surprising in a way that after dismissing Emery for finishing 5th they they tolerated consecutive 8th position finishes and then another 5th. Finally it seems to have clicked this year and compared to previous years their points tally is miles better than in previous years.

"the case rapidly became a media circus" If you can’t see that the first female managerial appointment is going to have this effect then frankly I give up.

Of the current staff FGR have though, she is the most senior and qualified. They have no members of staff in the senior team as they've all left so have gone for the person in charge of the Academy. If they had skipped past her to then select a more junior Male to be the caretaker, then that's a whole other issue in itself. The situation in isolation is nothing to do with the 'woke' term you love to throw about, it's simply choosing the most senior person to be the caretaker manager for the brief time before they appoint someone from Brentford B inevitably.Why is it a circus? “Media circus” (noun - Informal): A period of frenetic media coverage of an event or person.

Is there a book on first greedy import to receive a public spanking for getting the beers in? Those going to clubs near the border with Abu Dhabi have an advantage I guess.

A prime example of making yourself look a prick by trying to justify something by not telling the truth. If he had just said, the money was just too good to turn down then you can respect him (even if you don’t agree) Title: Re: Managerial Merry-go-round 2023-2024: they come and go Post by: The Artist Formerly Known as Audrey on Friday, September 8, 2023, 12:05:59 Lee Johnson to Fleetwood

By all accounts he had said they needed to spend to improve the squad, the owners said no you need to get us promotion with what you’ve got.
