The Manager Sacked/Hired Thread 2023/24

Not surprised. They haven't picked up any points in June.

Seriously, though: that's mental.

Something’s happened behind the scenes maybe? Only thing I can think; they didn’t look massively likely to go down for quite a good bit of the final run in, IMO.

Makes little sense to me otherwise.

New owners are putting in a lot of money, so I guess they see GO as being limited and their aim isn't just to survive.

Interesting to see who they replace him with

Didn’t realize they had new ownership, that definitely changes the maths, as it were.

From the States so surely you know them..

On 13 December 2022, the club was purchased from previous owner Maxim Demin by Black Knight Football Club, a partnership led by American businessman Bill Foley and Cannae Holdings. The minority ownership group is led by Hollywood actor Michael B. Jordan and Kosmos Founder Nullah Sarker.

MBJ has a piece of them?? Shit, now I kind of like them…

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Very harsh but he’ll get a good job pretty quickly I’d imagine, quite possibly at a club with better long term prospects than Bournemouth. Seen it before when a promoted team does unexpectedly well and then struggles the following season and can see them following that route.

I think they simply think O'Neil is limited and they want someone with a bit more pedigree in there.

I can see a new manager being announced very soon.

Anything even tangentially connected to The Wire gets wild bonus points from me.

Also, MBJ. Too handsome to be real.

Made for Jesse 'Alan' Marsch.

Or Bruno Lage...

 

[Kenny]

Potter the early favourite to take over

Obviously haven't cottoned on that Bournemouth are pretty limited too...

For sure but maybe Foley and the money he is pumping in,just wants a bigger name?

 

[prawnking]

Seems like Todd Boehly-style hubris to me. It would amuse me if it all blew up in their face

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Andoni Iraola the clear early favourite.

Potter was the clearer really early favourite...guess that was just the bookies scrambling out names to get some early ££ in though

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Potter will get linked with every single non-top six job that comes up for a while, any higher end Champo ones too. The new Curbishley 16/1.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Iraola done
