Manager Sacking and Appointment Thread

Forums New posts
Can we return to the topic in question please, which is managers being sacked and appointed.

For example since his permanent appointment Matthew Etherington has lost six of 8 league matches and been knocked out of the FA cup and he must be due for the sack soon.

Charlie Adam looks like he’s had a hard couple of years, I had to google him from the picture they posted to make sure it was the same one.

Really clueless are the powers that be at Birmingham. John Eustace had them in a wonderful 6th position. Reading the story, John Eustace inherited a poor team. In the summer he sold 7 players, and brought in 12 for roughly the money made on sales. This transformed the team under him and he clearly did a fantastic job to get them to 6th in an extremely hard League. Then they sack him as they're not satisfied. Then to confound the ridiculous decision, they bring in the useless Rooney of all people. As I said at the time, a former player who played under him said, ''Great player, never a Manager''. Now they're in 20th position and in the relegation battle. It serves them right. If they stuck with Eustace, they might have been in a promotion battle.

Well said. I think the owners are septics and had lined up Rooney as he quit DC Utd. Imagine John Eustace will have a smug grin now and rightly so.

Someone will hopefully take a chance on John Eustace. He's only 44. The Birmingham job was his first full time Managers job. So for his first shot at being a Manager, he did fantastic, and proved himself at clearing the decks and getting better players. Before that, he was assistant at QPR and the Republic of Ireland.
 
Rooney did OK at DC United and Derby but he's been a disaster at Birmingham. Perhaps they should stop hiring fat-faced managers halfway during a season from teams with United in their name?
 
Notts County manager Luke Williams set to be appointed as the new boss of Swansea City in the morning.
Williams was previously Russell Martin's number two at Swansea before getting the manager's job at Meadow Lane.

Did a terrific job at Notts County. Such a good passing team. Will be interesting to see how he does at Swansea. I wouldn’t be surprised if he takes them down as switching philosophies midseason is never easy (I don’t know what type of football Swansea were playing, although they tend to have had progressive managers so it might not be such a jump).
