The Manager Merry-go-Round

[Brad Goodman]

Haha guys, I'm an easy to read book. When it comes to the Mackems, all I ever want is the worst!

In a weird sort of way, I rate Moyes as a better manager than Big Sam - or at least capable of better results. But I rate Big Sam as a better managerial fit for the Mackems. Sure Moyes could potentially do better than a lot of his predecessors at the scum; but there is also the large possibility he could struggle - especially with the problems they have at the board level with Ellis Short (the owner).

Big Sam IMO gives them the best chance of surviving yet again. In a relegation battle, I would back Sam over Moyes.

Hopefully Moyes will steer clear though and some hack can take the helm - Maybe they can coax Mick McCarthy back to the club or Les Reed even. Heck, John Carver might even be tempted to trade Cyprus for Wearside. Joke Kinnear is looking for work also...

I think it's time for David O'Leary to make a comeback...

Last time I remember hearing about O'Leary, he might have been linked with us!

why?

fat sam is guaranteed pl football, whilst his ceiling is about 14th moyes really could deliver anything from 7-19th

? how many times was Moyes relegated with Everton?

They weren't a basket case like Sunderland manage to be so often when he took over were they?

Honestly can't remember Everton pre Moyes so maybe he did take a relegation side up to mid table

Pretty sure Everton were pretty s**t for chunks of the time he managed them. Recall I think 09/10 them being relegation zone or near it for a lot of the season.

they were 17th every year when he took over and Moyes got them into the Champions League on sfa of a budget.

s**t so he's actually a good version of Pulis and Sam!

he won't get you relegated and will get you into europe every 3 or 4 years.

Yep, I was hoping he'd take over from Bruce at one point.

he still might.

Close to United core supporter base.

Seems like a few outlets have come out overnight saying Big Sam is set to be the new England boss.

 

[BluesMan]

Yep, its official

Not sure what to make of it..
But it could have been worse if Woy continued or Steve Bruce was picked.

Bruce wouldn't be worse than Sam, they're about equal.

 

[Jatz]

Just my opinion but I think Sam is better than Bruce.

On a side note, found this just the slightest bit amusing:

Lol.

That's all

Wouldn't say they're that different to be honest. Not enough to make a difference to the England team.

 

[WealstoneRaider]

Reminds me of the Keegan appointment in a way. Will be clearly out if his depth

 

[Jatz]

Agreed, it's not a big difference at all. Just think big Sam has done slightly better thus far. Bruce may yet end up with the role further down the track anyway.

Bruce's achievements might have been a while ago, but he got Birmingham to 10th, Wigan to 11th, and Sunderland to 13th. Don't think anyone else since him has achieved anything close to that with any of those clubs. Two promotions at Hull, a third at Birmingham (which is apparently a record), it's not actually that bad a record. Both are clearly known for playing ugly football - and they aren't attractive themselves which also adds to that perception - which is fair enough, but think they're pretty similar.

Oh * me 10th gets the national job these days. 'Arry would be livid he missed his chance to woy and know is being overlooked by blokes who aren't fit to tie his shoelaces

? I'm comparing Bruce to Sam, not campaigning for him to get England manager.

Nah just saying if that's the selling point for one of the leading two managers it's become a nothing role
