The Manager Sacked/Hired Thread 2024/25

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

Last Sunday morning Damien Duff resigned as Manager of Shelbourne .

Duff was always box office and to be fair was very good for the League of Ireland . He raised its profile , not all by himself clearly , but by raising the standard of Shelbourne he brought another competitive Dublin team to the League alongside Rovers , Pats and Bohs .

He had the guts to take on the job rather than just resting on his laurels and enjoying his wealth .

Winning the League last year was a fair achievement and he got them into Europe twice as well during his time there . They have been poor enough this year and he clearly couldn't see any way forward .

Will be interesting to see what he does next .

Pretty self-indulgent to walk out on your club a week before their first Champions League game in 20yrs.
His rant about the players preparation after the Derry game was just odd. Probably lost the dressing room after that.

He always had far too much to say , which is grand when you're winning , but when the losing streak sets in it becomes a moan every week .

RVN leaves Leicester 'by mutual consent'

Perfect opportunity for Gary O’Neill.

Would be good but there is talk of Dyche going there, could see that and think that's his neck of the woods too

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

RVN was obviously a gamble for Leicester but he hadn't been that bad in his short time at man u, and maybe the thinking was that if they didn't hire him quickly then maybe we or Soton would have taken him.
Things might have turned out very different.

Reports suggest Dyche is likely. As time goes by I think GO is going to have to lower his expectations if he wants another managerial job. I suspect he’s already regretting turning down interest from Millwalll.

Dyche or Rohl (me neither), supposedly.

 

[Stan Hullis]

Dyche lives in South Nottingham and the Leicester training ground is probably 20 minutes away, would make perfect sense for him to go for it.

They’ve obviously spoken to Gaz then.

Leicester negotiating with QPR for the release of Cifuentes's assistant so looks like it's happening. Hard luck Gaz

Really don't know where he's going to end up. I think he'll have to go back into coaching or youth football eventually.

He will get something when sacking season starts as he will be free and desperate.

Right now the clubs willing to interview him will have restrictions he won't be willing to accept - Sheff Utd and their A.I signings, Leicester with a potential owner issue with cash etc.

I’m pretty sure Leicester and SU turned him down, not vice versa.

Obvs we have no clue what happens in interviews but if, for example, Sheff Utd say ChatGPT will be your chief scout and he thinks that is shit, then a "thanks but no thanks" from the club will follow.

He’s worked with Hobbs, ChatGPT will be a step up.
