O/T Manager Sack Watch

The best way to stay in business as a manager is to move clubs often.

Eventually you'll either fail or succeed at your current club. Should you succeed (ie. win promotion), expectations will be raised and you most likely won't be able to meet them. Either way you'll eventually fail and you only have a few years at best before you're almost destined to be sacked. The managers of all the teams promoted from the Championship are in a worse position than those that didn't quite make it.

Only a handful manage to get their level of success just right in order to stay at one club for a long time (unless you're extremely successful like Fergie). Moyes and Wenger come to mind. Pulis will stay with Stoke as long as he can keep them around 8-14th place.


Absolutely-Hoddle, Dave Bassett etc hop from club to club until it eventually dawns on chairmen that they ain't much good. Here is a list of former EPL managers which might interest some.

Excellent post Jord. I was trying to make the same point when we were discussing what would happen if a bigger club came in for AVB at some point in the future.

Hoddle was an excellent manager to start with, he just went potty in the England job. He was the one who started building the modern Chelsea, the one who started the process that made them attractive star players from abroad and later to Abramovich.

Burnley have appointed Sean Dyche as their new manager.

Should he last till the end of this season, I'd put him down as one of the first to go next year.
 
Former Blackburn defender Henning Berg is set to sign a three-year deal to become Blackburn's new manager.
The imminent arrival of the 43-year-old, who has six years of managerial experience in his native Norway, ends the search for Steve Kean's successor.
 
Sky Sports sources understand Mick McCarthy has been appointed as the new manager of Ipswich Town

A good appointment for them, he'll get them up if he is given time. I don't think that he is worth keeping beyond the first season in the Premier League though.

They could have kept Kean and no one would know the difference.

First Solbakken, now Berg, it's the bald Norwegian invation!
 
Sunderland lose again. Are Greg's stats about MON correct?

Ppl here were dissing the Villa manager. Oh, well..long season.
 
HR to Blackburn hype means it might be worth a bet on HR going to SCBC.

no chance at all. Saints fans hate him with a passion, they hate him for getting them relegated and then jumping back to Portsmouth. Redknapp's court trial last year barely helped matters nor did the club's financial difficulties in the past which some fans have attributed to Redknapp,
 
Mark Hughes making his case. After the Emirates Marketing Project debacle i can't believe they saw fit to give him so much money to spend.

He has bought some very good players. He is just a fool for buying them all in one window.
 
Roberto Di Matteo is fighting to save his job only six months after lifting the European Cup.

His Chelsea team have won just three of their last seven games, and defeat against Juventus in Turin on Tuesday would put their Champions League campaign in serious jeopardy.

After starting the season so well, Chelsea's campaign is in danger of falling apart, causing owner Roman Abramovich to lose his patience.

He is not alone. Goalkeeper Petr Cech was at the centre of a heated dressing-room row following Saturday's 2-1 defeat at West Bromwich.

After their game with Juve, Di Matteo's side face Barclays Premier League leaders Emirates Marketing Project at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

These are vital matches for Di Matteo, with Abramovich aware that former Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola wants to work at Chelsea when he returns to management next summer.

Cech was furious after Chelsea's poor defensive display left them four points behind Emirates Marketing Project.

Amid a flurry of expletives, another voice screamed that the display was 'rubbish - and you all know it'.

Other comments that were overheard included the barb: 'Call yourself Champions League winners?' as passions spilled over.

Di Matteo was calmness personified in front of the media a few moments later but back in the dressing room, he too had stomped around in a fashion that was seldom witnessed when he was in charge of West Bromwich.

Chelsea defender David Luiz was surely among those chastised by his colleagues, particularly over the embarrassing lack of discipline in his game.

However, he at least had the good grace to admit what went on, saying: 'We were upset, it is normal. We are disappointed as we should have won this game.'

Asked whether the cacophony of raised voices was the standard reaction, he added: 'Of course it's normal. This is a big club and you cannot lose games.'

The failings in Chelsea's defence are now painfully apparent every time captain John Terry is absent.

They miss not just his quality but his organisational ability, and have conceded an average of two goals in every game without him this season.

'Of course we miss him,' said Di Matteo. 'He's an important player. He gives us confidence at the back - and to the team in general.'

Di Matteo has promised to wield the axe for the Juventus game. Judged on their performances on Saturday alone, defender Luiz and misfiring striker Fernando Torres must be in line for a very public chop. 'It's not just an individual issue,' said the manager.

'As a team we have to defend better. You don't defend with one, you defend with the whole team.'
