Manager Sack Watch

Careful, this will give rise to that circular argument, when considering sacking a manager:
You have to give a manager time to make the team better, give him time
Managers that do well are not sacked, he is not doing well, sack him

After all the fanfare of them poaching him from Leicester, seems to have been a bit of a flop

They were still right in the relegation dogfight with a week to go, he’d been there for most of the season. Their squad is poor but they were still being outperformed by far worse squads. I don’t think Moyes did anything other than a par performance there.

Absolutely. 7 points in 9 when the season is effectively over has glossed over a very "meh" performance.
They were right in it up until a couple of weeks ago.

You mean the mantra of the United fans that thy don't sack their managers. One reason I took pleasure from their Fergiepause.

A little surprised, he is very good at a Championship level. Will be interesting to see who they go for.

Really surprised at that, despite going down he actually made them look like a team, and seemed dead keen to keep going with them.
All these clubs sacking off decent managers, who do they think will replace them!?
....oh *faceopalms*

Moore got the WBA job, good for him
Glenda's Legs
Jack Jull
Yes. He definitely earned it based on results since he took over. Relegation can’t be laid at his door. But you wonder if he had scraped PL survival for West Brom, whether he would still have been given the job.

BREAKING NEWS
Sky sources understand there has been an initial approach to Derby by Stoke to talk to manager Gary Rowett.
However, it is understood Derby owner Mel Morris would be reluctant to allow him to leave.
It’s thought Rowett is keen on the possibility of moving to Stoke, because of fears he will have to slash his squad’s wage bill as Derby ensure they are within Financial Fair Play rules for the coming season.
As we reported yesterday, Mick McCarthy and Nigel Pearson also on the shortlist
Interesting, didnt see this one coming. Rowett is a good manager, and jumping to Stoke would mean he has finances to try and push on - at Derby he is under an increasingly tight budget.
Lets be honest though, Old Mick is Stokes type through and through.
McCarthy/Rowet/Pearson - does beg the question - why not just stick with Lambert?

LAMPARD TO IPSWICH?
Sky Sports News understands former Chelsea and England midfielder Frank Lampard is on a list of candidates to succeed Mick McCarthy as Ipswich manager.
The Suffolk club are hoping to make an appointment by the end of May at the earliest and have received over 100 applications for the job.
Lampard, who will be 40 next month, was linked strongly with a managerial role at Oxford earlier this year and has been interviewed twice by Ipswich about the job.
Shrewsbury manager Paul Hurst is also on the shortlist of candidates but still has a League One Play-Off final to contest at Wembley. And we’ve already reported that St Mirren manager Jack Ross is a strong contender for the role at Portman Road.
Didnt see that coming...
STAM TO SWANSEA?
Jaap Stam is one of a number of candidates under consideration to become the next Swansea City manager, Sky Sports News understands.
The former Manchester United centre half was sacked as Reading manager back in March following a poor season in the Championship.
Portuguese coach Carlos Carvalhal left the Liberty Stadium on Friday, five days after Swansea were relegated.
If Stam does take over, he’s be working with a strong Dutch continent, including, Mike van der Hoorn, Luciano Narsingh, Leroy Fer and Erwin Mulder.
And this seems much more like Swansea getting back to their roots.
Stam had a mare at Reading this season, but did bloody well the year before. Fully versed in the Ajax way of operating, which seems a nice fit for Swansea.

Interesting development, I thought he was fairly happy at Derby
Gary Rowett: Derby County manager seeks permission for Stoke City talks
Derby County boss Gary Rowett has asked for permission to talk to Stoke City about their vacant managerial role.
The Potters, relegated from the Premier League this month, were keen to appoint Rowett in January before turning to Paul Lambert - with whom they parted company on Friday.
Rowett, 44, then signed a new three-year contract with the Rams and guided them to the Championship play-offs.
Lambert, 48, had 15 games in charge of Stoke but managed to win just two.
A Derby statement said: "Derby County Football Club can confirm that Gary Rowett has asked for permission to speak with Stoke City regarding the vacant manager's position.
"The club is now in discussion with Stoke regarding the matter and will update our supporters in due course."
BBC Derby Sport reports that the compensation fee Stoke would need to pay for Rowett would be about £2m.
Derby were beaten 2-1 on aggregate by Fulham in the play-off semi-finals.
Stoke's 10-year stay in the top flight was ended with defeat by Crystal Palace in their penultimate match of the season, with Lambert unable to save them from the drop after succeeding Mark Hughes in January.
Analysis
Natalie Jackson, BBC East Midlands Today sports editor
Derby owner Mel Morris has already indicated that the club will not be able to spend big in the summer transfer market and will be making cuts across the board.
Rowett did not have a big budget in previous jobs at Burton and Birmingham and looks tempted to join Stoke, who are a financially stable club and will have funds available to spend because of £43m parachute payments following their relegation.
It will still be a big call for Rowett, who has served the Rams as a player, coach and manager and still lives in the area.
But having missed on promotion to the Premier League this season, and with tighter financial restraints looming, it seems likely he will move on after just over a year in charge at Pride Park.
