The Manager Sacked/Hired Thread 2024/25

[Wellen Wolf]

I really hope he gets another job, ideally a high-profile Championship club. The sooner he gets exposed the better, and even if his mates in the studio all defend him at least there will be another fanbase who can sympathise with us!

Sandwell Town?

Linked with Albion. I’m struggling to see how they’re more attractive than QPR.

Gary O’Neill to QPR, one of his many former clubs?

Think he's fallen out with one of the directors at QPR

Surely he’ll get a better option than Albion. Carlisle maybe!

Quite right too

He’ll be gone by Bonfire Night. Harsh as it might appear I don’t see why upgrading a manager on promotion is any different to us upgrading Barry Douglas with Jonny.

Totally agree.

His PL record is horrendous

P49 W6 D8 L35

Doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting a different outcome is madness. Good news for us though. Even better would be Gary O’Neill to the rescue in the autumn based on keeping Wolves and Bournemouth up.

 

[Lupo]

Yeah I'm not bothered if he'll be any good or not, hopefully he'll be as shit as he was previously so I'm glad he'll get the opportunity

IIRC he's always been at PL level with squads clearly not up to the standard. Tough asks.

We’ve seen this season that players can play at wildly different levels depending on who the manager is.

True, but it can work both ways.

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Obviously but the evidence suggests that Farke isn’t the man to make a team better than the sum of its parts and players don’t kick on under him in the PL. Put it this way, if any PL team lost their manager this summer not one would give Farke a moment’s consideration as a replacement.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Mick kept us up twice.

Had we decided that we were gone regardless after the Albion 5-1 and he was the best man to take us back up (I had time for that argument then and even more so in hindsight)...and he then did take us back up in 2013 (he might well have done)...then pretty much everyone would have had doubts about whether he should carry on.

And that would have been a man with enormous goodwill who'd done far more in his career than Daniel Farke.

 

[Alan]

Not saying he's secretly a genius, just pointing out that he's been against a stacked deck in the past. Not that I would anticipate that changing at Leeds.
