tlg1903 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 He's going to have to adapt his style a bit to the german league for sure. Looking forward to seeing how he gets on, his achievements at Barca are obviously phenomenal but the club was geared to suit him from the off, he knew it inside out and was fortunate to take over as messi started to bear fruit. Would have loved to have seen Roman's face when he found out............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc_don Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Big lol at Chelsea I'm surprised by his decision but will be looking with great interest to see how he gets on. Definitely one of the few clubs he could / should have gone to and it will be nice to see them hopefully climb to where they belong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jute Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Adkins sacked from Southampton. Baffling IMO. Very odd. Especially as they are rumoured to be appointing ex Espanyol coach who was sacked by them in Novemeber following a string of terrible results.

maverick sheep Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I can't remember a time when football had it's head this far up its own arse. The way some owners are behaving is a total embarrassment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manc_don Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Can't say I'm not a bit disappointed by this, hopefully he'll be sacked by the time CB's contract is up.... Nottingham Forest chairman Fawaz Al Hasawi says that his decision to name Billy Davies, 48, as the club's fourth manager in seven months does not mean he is an interfering owner.

manc_don Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Talk about shooting yourself in the foot here! I no way in any way shape or form condone how the Chelsea cunts have behaved but surely Benitez is better than this (although from his time at Liverpool it makes sense). I would be very surprised if he was there on Saturday. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21611064 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 He'll no be caring but its another "Bene loses it". Not exactly a good advert for getting another job is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kowalski Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Feel a bit sorry for him, he's a decent manager and the fans should have done more to get behind him. He seems to have lost it a little though. He'll end up back in Spain, possibly Real Madrid. Perhaps Chelsea are going to lure Mourinho back.

I do and I don't, he chose to take the job knowing full well that the fans would not take to him. That said, they never once got behind him, but they are huns / cunts so i'm not surprised.

maverick sheep Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 i like BMcD. Think he's a good manager but probably this season was a bit soon for him going into EPL. Wouldn't be surprised if it motivates a championship chairman to give someone the bullet fairly soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be surprised if it motivates a championship chairman to give someone the bullet fairly soon. Yip, this, seems like a decent manager. Pretty predictable turn of events though, as soon as he had a bad run he was going to be out on his hole, new owner and all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Reading have sacked their manager this evening. Bit harsh if you ask me but I suppose they don't have a paper thin squad. Think the treatment of both McDermott and the ex Southampton manager typify what is wrong in football nowadays. Taken an unfashionable club into England's top divison and punted during the season. The goal for these guys was always going to be no lower than 17th position come end of the season. Should at least have been given the courtesy to see that through. Hope they get relegated now.

TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 There are managers out there who seem to have a knack of getting teams out of the Championship yet maybe aren't quite as good at keeping teams in the EPL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hear what your saying brother BUT it is a big step up coming from the Championship to EPL. I'm not convinced that unfashionable teams like Reading, Southampton and prior to them others like Blackpool are ever going to make inroads. I merely think that your McDermotts of the world deserved to see the season through. I'd hazard a guess that Reading would have been most folks banker to get relegated anyway, so surely wouldn't have been a massive shock if they were.

RDU_64 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Unfortunately, especially for foreign owners, the crazy money in/being thrown at the EPL (5 billion due to come in over three years or something like that) makes it absolutely essential that they try everything in their power to stay in the EPL. This means that managers such as Adkins and McDermott will always be favourites for the sack despite what they have already achieved. With only 10 games to go, I can't really see the sense in sacking McDermott. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
