Manager Sack Watch

I can see the media giving Roy a hard time here.

The England job has made him a lot more stroppy and defensive and he's never really paid for his reaction after the Iceland game. He doesn't like being challenged so I can see a few journos poking him with a stick.
 
I like it.

While on one hand I think clubs should be able to change their fortunes, I also think clubs should be forced to think these decisions through more thoroughly. Both hiring and firing.

Does a managerial transfer window make sense? I can't decide but Rosenior makes some good points.

A club should be able to change their own fortunes, but they shouldn't be able to disrupt others.

We were discussing this on here the other day. I think that it was GB who suggested that a manager should only be a leader to be replaced from within or by an out of work manager during the season. I think that sounds fair.

I made that point recently (probably not alone). Replacing the manager from within is just readjusting the staff responsibilities. It is an internal issue and there should be no objections to that. Hiring an out of work manager would be the equivalent of signing out of contract players outside the transfer window, which has been allowed (the 25 man squads may complicate this).

The manager is the most important role at the club, with responsibility for game strategy, shaping the playing staff, training, player motivation and team spirit, etc. Change the manager mid-season and it can cause all sorts of disruption. We saw what happened when there was speculation about the England job and Redknapp. Clubs can inflict whatever change they like on their own structure, that's up to them, but undermining other clubs shouldn't be allowed.
 
there isn't any way of stopping the damaging speculation though

using the redknapp example, the FA didn't want or approach him at all did they?

I thought they wanted Redknapp, Levy held them to ransom, FA thought too expensive, and Levy only sacked Redknapp once Hodgson was appointed?

fair point

it was more to illustrate that another club can still be damaged if there is paper talk of someone else wanting their manager

I think that there would be less speculation if you couldn't poach a manager who was in a job.
