The Manager Merry-go-Round

[Jatz]

No I don't think he's poor. I do think he's been here too long now though. He just doesn't adapt well enough. His system can work but when it's not, it's punish to watch.

Reckon Rodgers only has a limited lifespan at a club before players start to see through his waffle.

 

[Jatz]

Certainly has felt like that to me.

Hasn't helped he's had players heads turned. Youri for 2 seasons now.

Can't believe they started filming the day Neil left hahaha.

Wait, what happened?

 

[SM]

Wait, what happened?

They're filming Sunderland Til I Die, think they started filming the day Neil was poached by Stoke.

Oh interesting. I thought I'd seen somewhere they were finished with that show but I was clearly wrong.

Alex Neil’s abrupt departure threatens to send Sunderland back into crisis | Barry Glendenning

Just as the Netflix cameras return to the Championship club, the manager who got them there has departed for Stoke City

I almost wonder if they only signed off on it because the season started so well, or at least I like to think that's what happened, only for their manager to be poached.

Another relegation to be shown in front of the cameras?

Something something, sackings after 5 games.

Scott Parker sacked.

And from nowhere, Parker comes and pips Gerrard, Rodgers and Lampard in the sack race.

Talksport for me.

To sack him after the 5th game into a season though is over the top.

Even worse when it’s 4 games.

It’s hard to envision another manager overseeing a worst loss in the PL, over the next 20 years, than the one Scott Parker just went through. So I wouldn’t say his sacking came from nowhere.

Parker gone from Bournemouth

One game for every stripe on his sleeve.

Harsh imo. Yes defeats were heavy but they were expected.

Beat Villa. Lost to City, Arsenal and Liverpool. Should have been given a few more games against more winnable opponents.

 

[And_ROOS]

I don't know what Bournemouth expected. Barely strengthened their squad which finished 2nd in the Championship, still managed to smack Villa 2-0 on the opening day, how many teams in the bottom half of the table would be doing better than 1-3 after 4 games when that run includes City then Arsenal then Liverpool?

The Liverpool loss was horrendous, but Pool are gonna spank a few teams this year.

Next they have Wolves(H), then Forest(A), both winnable, then Brighton(H)/Newcastle(A)/Brentford(H)/Leicester(H)/Fulham(A)/Southampton(H)/WHU(A) before Spurs(H).
They probably don't beat Brighton/Newcastle/Spurs but Wolves/Forest/Leister/Southampton are genuine 50/50 games, and they could surprise Fulham or WHU.

Not a good chance they stayed up before, even less of a chance of survival now.

 

[Sozabarus]

Sounds like it was more about his post match comments rather than the actual result. He took a punt by not so subtly calling them out and it’s backfired on him.

 

[pantskyle]

Incredibly harsh sacking.
