Jute Posted September 29, 2012 Report Posted September 29, 2012 The timing of this seems postively bizarre. To have survived all the shit thrown at him last season, have them sitting third in Championship, and then allegedly resign doesn't sound right. Think it'll be more a case of forced to resign I'd imagine. Saying this morning that he was forced out. Quote
Tyrant Posted October 1, 2012 Report Posted October 1, 2012 Apparently Venky's didn't want him to leave. Would make sense since they were doing well this season. I've got only respect for Steve Kean. Been treated pretty horribly and showed class throughout. If not an amazing manager. Quote
tlg1903 Posted October 1, 2012 Report Posted October 1, 2012 the drop in attendances was unsustainable for a club with the wage bill the size of blackburn. Talking of giving the job to shearer which i have no issue with if it keeps him and his appalling punditry off the beeb Quote

manc_don Posted October 2, 2012 Report Posted October 2, 2012 Mark Hughes looks to be the next one oot the door! Genuinely surprised at how badly he's doing there. Must be getting a bit nervous now. Quote

Kowalski Posted October 24, 2012 Report Posted October 24, 2012 Hartlepool United first-team coach Neale Cooper has resigned 10 months into his second spell at the club. Tuesday's 2-1 loss at Bury sent United bottom of League One and extended their run of games without a win to 12. Cooper, who was also Pools boss between 2003 and 2005, won only seven of his 40 games in his second spell in charge. "The club wishes to thank Neale for his commitment and dedication, and wishes him every success in his return to Scotland," a club statement read. Quote

maverick sheep Posted October 26, 2012 Report Posted October 26, 2012 Dumbarton have been inundated with applications for their managerial vacancy, but chief executive Gilbert Lawrie says 75% of them come from computer football management game geeks. [/size] [/size] Quote

Tyrant Posted November 21, 2012 Report Posted November 21, 2012 But he's only been on his year long holiday for 6 months. Quote

Madbadteacher Posted November 22, 2012 Report Posted November 22, 2012 So no Rafa for Scotland then? (Like it was ever likely) Quote
Kowalski Posted November 22, 2012 Report Posted November 22, 2012 Excellent!! I actually think he's a pretty decent manager. Could be a disaster though as I don't think Chelsea fans are taking to him, maybe got something to do with one of his older quotes: ''We don't need to give away stupid plastic flags to our fans to wave, our supporters are always there with their hearts and that is all we need. Its the passion of the fans that helps us to win matches, not flags. Chelsea fans lack passion." Quote

Truth is you never know what you get with Rafa but he's capable, that's for sure. Quote
maverick sheep Posted November 22, 2012 Report Posted November 22, 2012 very sound business move. Rafa's the only person who could come in and rescue Torres. If it doesn't work then Torres goes in the Summer and Abramovich doesn't have to pay compo to change manager for once. if it does, maybe he still sells Torres but makes a lot more of his money back, and doesn't pay compo to change manager for once.
