The Manager Merry-go-Round

[sabso]

Amorim spent more time being the anointed next manager than being the actual manager.

I hope west ham are prepared for ugly and dire football. Might win a few games but he'll be in the sights soon enough like he was at spurs

Nuno has been fairly adaptable in his tactics.

He had a good team at Wolves with Jimenez, Jota, Neves, Neto, Gibbs-White. They were good to watch. He got them out of the Championship, then 7th in PL, and narrowly lost in the QF of the Europa.

When he took over at Forest they were 17th. Last season they were top 3 for many weeks before dropping away to 7th at the end. It was mostly low block and fast counter attack but this season they started with 3 higher possession games before he got the sack.

Sir Gareth Southgate.

Bring him in, you know the FA will kiss United on the dick every single time we need VAR to bail us out.

Nothing will happen during the season, the SDs will let it play out and review it at the end of the season. If he doesn't finish in the UCL spots he'll be in trouble.

Maresca deserves a pass this season, as do City for the disruption of the CWC. Tough ask when there other direct competitors had the summer off. Its not like a WC or Euro, where all top teams players are roughly equally affected.

 

[DBAH0]

Ange in trouble already?

 

[Jatz]

He really shouldn't have signed there.

 

[SM]

Their next run of PL games is horrific too so he could well get sacked.

 

[Hamingja]

Everyone could see it was a terrible career move. Hope for Ange's sake he got to keep all of his Tottenham pay out and has a water tight contract with Forest.

Forest move might have stuffed his reputation so much his best option might end up being Celtic again.

 

[Bradesmaen]

He's an ordinary manager so it's not surprising.

Clubs going from one style to a completely different one can't expect transition to be seamless

Squad built to play the nuno way

Not even in hindsight, but immediately looked like a terrible move for ange. Would have suited west ham squad more than forest

 

[sabso]

Just hire ruud van nistelrooy already

 

[Jatz]

I just don’t know what either owner or Ange were thinking. He was never taking over without a pre season and doing well.

You’d probably have expected them to jag a win or two somewhere but it’s not completely shocking to me that they haven’t. I only hope this doesn’t impact his chances moving forward.

Steve is not having a good day today.

Steve is not having a good day today.

Any other Steve is probably hiding

Rangers finally sack Martin.

At least something to cheer me up after the Storm loss yesterday! Lol

Genuinely Ange might get the sack this international break - anyone know if that would be the shortest managerial stint in premier league history?

It was a terrible fit. As a Spurs fan, he only had limited success in his gameplan when Van De Ven and Romero were at the back, and were quick and mobile enough to cover the lack of defensive responsibility from the wing backs as they invert into midfield. The minute we lost those guys to injury, Ange's gameplan fell apart.

Looking at Forrest - they had been set up to be defensively solid and then counterattack, their centre backs were never isolated under a Nuno gameplan. Zero changes to this squad and a complete 180 in gameplan is just pure idiocy.

Ange needs to be less stubborn, but to be honest most of the blame needs to fall on Marinakis - laughable to sack Nuno and replace him with Ange without a pre season.... they've gone from being a European contender to a relegation fight within a month, all because of one mans ego.

Les Reed lasted 40 days in 2006.

In terms of matches, Frank de Boer at Palace with four. In terms of number of days, chef stated above.

Either way, geez it looks dire for him.
