Manager Sacking and Appointment Thread

[Billy Bests boot laces]

Mark Hughes sacked by Bradford City.

From Stoke to Bradford after a couple of years out of the game. Where does he go from here, probably retirement from management?.

He is one of those managers like Steve Bruce who never wins anything but always gets a managers job .

It's so they can bring in Rooney. Not sure why, his record with DC United in MLS is dog****.

Rooney much like Lampard and Gerrard has a lot to prove. Being a decent player doesn’t guarantee being a decent coach.

Gerrard did a great job with Rangers - none of his successors have been able to come close to beating Celtic, but he failed at Villa for sure. Lampard had some success with Derby but I think he was on a hiding to nothing at Chelsea and Everton. Rooney doesn't have anything to hang his hat on in terms of success.

Only 1 of them who ventured into management who had success was Jack Charlton. Middlesbrough in the 70's, although their football was anything but exciting, & afterwards at Sheff Weds, although didn't really 'pull up' any trees there?.
Obviously he elevated The Republic of Ireland's status, from what it was beforehand.

Eustace out and Useless in. Pity the poor Brum fans having that clod foisted on them.

A player who played under him said great player, but never a Manager.

I thought he did well at Derby in impossible circumstances didn't he?

Rooney? He did alright, yeah. That's fair.

 

[stewart]

how did he go as manager at DC

 

[Massimo Giovanni]

Steve Thompson resigns as caretaker manager at Oldham. His 6 games have been 3 wins and 3 draws. Neil Redfearn, his assistant leaves as well.
Report says a meeting with the board indicated the club wanted to move in another direction!

Personally I would dispute he was a great player.Certainly when he played at Bar$a he couldn't trap a ball,which is why he got farmed out to Bayern at the end of his first season

I used to see him & Gary Lineker play quite a lot back in the 80's.Rumour was that Venables only managed to sign Hughes on the strength of his wonderfukl vollied goal for Wales.

I started defending Sparky because you're attacking him, then realised the original commentator meant Rooney, who of course was a great player.

Don't think I ever saw Rooney play live (apart from on the box).FWIW i'd agree he was a great player though.Sparky wasn't (as I said) he couldn't trap a ball.GL certainly could.

You must be a rather sad person if you're willing to attack somone because of an honest mistake.

Hardly an attack is it!
