The Manager Sacked/Hired Thread 2015/16

[The Bear]

Not really. Cambiasso, Albrighton and Vardy had plenty to do with their end of season form, especially the former. Huth just made Morgan more solid.

Sam Allardyce is one of the favourites to get the Leicester job. Mind you, Harry Redknapp is available again.

Pres saying today that Pearson's sacking is mostly as a result of his son's behaviour in Thailand and subsequent sacking.

Harry won't venture further north than Oxford he doesn't manage northern clubs.

 

[ROVERT47]

Bigotry is often inherited so it's no surprise, probaly thought what his Son and his mates did was 'just a bit of banter'.

I wouldn't want either of those. For Leicester to go forward and have the ambition they like to talk about how about offering Gary Monk twice the money he earns at Swansea.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Liverpool have confirmed that Sean O'Driscoll has been appointed as assistant manager. I must admit to being a little surprised at that.

 

[Kenny]

Good coach though. Probably gone way above the level I would expect but best of luck to the local lad.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Possible shift from Rodgers back to a more patient style of football akin with his Swansea team? Seem to remember O'Driscoll's team were pretty possession heavy?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Wouldn't have thought he'd need a new coach for that, Pascoe was with him at Swansea after all. Rodgers does try to go back to the possession stuff periodically, it doesn't work with the players Liverpool have got and nor does it fit with the way their games go at Anfield, they are expected to win, teams primarily set up to play on the counter, so it just ends up being incredibly sterile.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

He certainly needs to try something new though.

The counter attacking stuff worked brilliantly with Suarez, Sturridge and Sterling all flying a couple years back but now one's gone, one's broken and the other is out of sorts, potentially soon gone too, it's just a mess. Not too unlike Dortmund sticking with their balls to the wall football despite the squad slowly being picked apart, without the cohesion that sort of high tempo football just looks rushed and panicky, like a bunch of Sunday morning wank smashing the ball around as quickly as possible.

Think Rodgers' biggest trouble is recruitment, he just doesn't seem to have any idea how to build a squad. Replacing Suarez was always going to be a nightmare but he spunked so much of the cash on absolute dross or trying to improve positions that didn't really need it, now he's got this weird squad that doesn't really seem to lend itself to any particular style, he hasn't got the pace or the focal point to stick with that counter attacking stuff nor the nouse and intelligence required to pick teams apart with possession.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

He's now got three number 10s, all of which he bought, plus Sterling played his best football in that position. Such a strange way to build a squad.

Like you said the other week, Markovic, prime example. Why buy a winger and then not play wingers all season?

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Personally I think Sterling was just as good wide in the last Suarez season as when he moved inside as they tried to accomodate the two forwards.

When Suarez left it actually solved one of the biggest problem Rodgers had faced at Liverpool thus far, how to fit Suarez and Sturridge in the team together, now he could go back to playing one up top as he'd seemed to prefer before then. Sterling could have moved out to either wing, sign someone for the other wing, Coutinho was there already to move forward into the 10 position. Probably needed to get a decent ball player to sit deep behind that and then just try to improve the defence, which admittedly he did alright with on paper when signing Lovren and the Spanish left back who's name escapes me. Then after that you're looking at a few squad players, could've looked at maybe a few old heads from big clubs for a bit of CL know how or get some youngsters in and give them a year on the fringes to integrate, instead he went for old man Lambert who didn't fit the style of play and offered no fresh experience which would've benefited them, such a pointless signing.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Claudio Ranieri appears to be emerging as a front runner for the Leicester job.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Semi-obscure early/mid 90s Everton and Portsmouth winger Preki is now the favourite. Which would be very odd.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Well he's definitely coming to the UK:

His coaching record is awful! Sacked by two MLS teams then spent three years doing nothing before a third tier US team picked him up.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

I would be surprised if he is Leicester bound. Leicester have said they want a big name.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Predrag Radosavljević is pretty big tbf.

 

[Kenny]

EDIT -= FUCK YOU DAN
