Manager Sack Watch

[Yiddo]

That has to be up there with Nevilles cameo in Spain doesn’t it?

Has Rooney ever succeeded as a manager?

Didn’t he do well at Derby, in context of their situation?

 

[markysimmo]

Rooney/Lampard/Gerrard will never be a good or successful managers

That was always the question mark - did he do well for their situation or was that just his level?
Looks like the latter.

Howe or ETH next?

Fair play to Birmingham if they get either.

The Rooney appointment was a mystery given the circumstances. Take a bunch of players performing well in play off positions and sack the manager they're obviously getting on well with and working for and replace him with a big name and an awful track record.

It's one of those where you have to look at the board and wonder how they thought it'd go well. Up there with Lampard's second spell as caretaker for Chelsea which was absolute fudging comedy gold.

imo it is very rare, that a great player, goes on to be a good manager.

Different skillset. There aren't that many great players compared to not great players. So if it is 1 in a hundred players can be good managers. There will be 1 in 100 great players that become great managers. Very few.

Most goalies I've played with have been bloody mad and think they should be a striker.

Birmingham City have named Tony Mowbray as their new manager on a two-and-a-half year deal, six days after sacking Wayne Rooney

Give the financial state of clubs in Europe it could be a long time before he gets an other job, Saudi's might take him.

He'll be fishing for the Saudi Sportswashing Machine job no doubt

He was already mouthing off about all the massive offers he got from Saudi while employed by Roma... That's where he goes next.

"Following in Bobby Robsons footsteps.. "
You can see it happening but it would be a terrible decision.

 

[Gazza Dazzla]

Time for the Portugal job?

 

[Lilbaz]

Saudi Sportswashing Machine seem to be a bit more restrained. Or constrained due to ffp. Can't see mourinho going there. Hansi flick maybe. Or Gallardo.

They've spent so much over the last two seasons that they have to sell before spending anything significant now.
