O/T Manager Sack Watch

Oldham have decided to keep faith in Paul dingdongov as manager and instead put most of his backroom staff on gardening leave.

McLeish now favorite for the Forest job. They should add something about that to the fit & proper test. Anyone that would consider hiring him should not be allowed to run a football club.

Utterly dreadful appointment that will ensure we don't see Forest in the top flight for a while, which is a big shame.
 
The people who are advising the owners to make these appointments should be hanging their heads in shame at some of them...

Most bizarre appointment... ever!

They said they wanted a PL manager but they must've done enough research to find out he was a terrible one lol

I don't think you'd have been able to find one Aston Villa fan that would have thought he would be a success and I think you'd be hard pushed to find a Forest fan who thinks he will. Fans are perhaps often wrong but that does speak volumes.
 
I'd go with Benitez. Just because being on a short term contract he already knows that he's expendable.

He has a few Championship promotions to his CV which is the first step.

I would lose a lot of respect for Pep if he went to Chelsea. Not his type of club.

but there is really no where else for him to go though that would make you think highly of him and also meet te level you would expect him to be operating at

Actually, for all the stick that they get, I wouldn't lose respect for him if he went to Emirates Marketing Project.

Sure they have thrown a tonne of money at signings. But, unlike Chelsea, they have shown signs of reining in their spending over the past year.

And, also unlike Chelsea, they don't appear to be a club with a short term, win at all costs philosophy. They are very much about the long term. And, as a consequence, they aren't as prone to hiring and firing managers frequently and on a whim. If they appoint Pep, they will give him time.

And, finally unlike Chelsea, they tend to try to do things the right way and to behave with dignity - qualities that I associate with Guardiola.

All of which is not to say that Chelsea and City are the only PL clubs that could interest him. Arsenal could be a very real possibility. However much we hate them, there's no denying that they are a very well run club whose ethos would match Guardiola's quite well. Same could be said of Man Utd - though I don't see a vacancy for that job for a few years yet.

While I would hate to see him at any rival PL club, Chelsea is the only one to which I believe he is wholly unsuited.
 
Agree with Jimmy.

At Chelsea he would be at the whim of Roman: get results or be gone. There is no time for a legacy in terms of youth system etc.

At City he would be given the chance to build something. With City's money he could actually build something that would leave him a lasting legacy. They already seem to have installed some of the old Barcelona hierarchy.

Jim? Taking Tevez back, allowing Balotelli to act like he does, buying the league, spending waaay over the odds for players, buying and selling players like popcorn every year, stifling home grown talent, hmm what else am I forgetting?
