The Manager Merry-go-Round

[SM]

sky say mancini is not interested in the leicester job.

Brilliant.

 

[SM]

Doesn't name the chairman when thanking people. Interesting.

 

[RossFC]

Jeez that's pretty sad.

The whole reaction about it is quite ridiculous. He sucked so got fired. That's the life of a football manager.

If he wasn't still in the Champions League I'd agree with you.

Wow. If AFTV get their way and Wenger decides to leave, I hope we pick up Ranieri.

Same as Kroenke at Arsenal.

They bought the club for the 'name'; global brand based on history/tradition/success, sponsorship piggybacking on the worldwide spread of fans, TV revenue,winning anything is just the cream on the cake. Ownership is an investment, not a passion. Success is measured by $s generated, not trophies won.

Storied 'franchises'.
FSG; Liverpool & Boston Red Sox
Kroenke; Arsenal & LA Rams.

I see so many Pool fans happy with these owners too, everything FSG do is so contrived and pathetic.

Ranieri is worse than Wenger.

A bit like most of your lame attempts at trolling.

Ranieri lookalike has hit hard times

 

[Cruyff14]

It is uncanny how much they look alike.

He's not a real person lol. It's a spoof.

"Bonked".

Always gets a giggle from me.

Oh right. I totally knew that.

Ranieri did the impossible
But in theory he's not that gooda manager
He managed to make Greece lose to Faroe Islands and was sacked after that game. Faroe Islands hadn't won for something like 30 years, a country with a population of 50K.
And he flopped at Athletico, Valencia, Inter, etc
He's still done phenomenal but still just spare a thought

That doesn't mean a lot considering your follow up manager also lost to the Faroes.

International teams are a different beast. He doesn't get to see them that often, and well, the current culture for Greece, not good at the moment.

But yeah, usually his 2nd years are quite poor in comparison to his first. In our case, combine 'a 'rest' team' with a bad year, and well, this happens (By 'rest' team, I mean any team outside of the Big 6). Rest teams are really only one bad year away from relegation at any given time.

That's the life of a football manager at a top club. We aren't a top club.

Pards signed on the dotted line yet?

You want to be.

**** off

Haha but seriously, any progress on getting someone in?

Not that I'm aware of. People keep pushing Pearson but I really doubt that happens. I'll be livid if he comes back.

Apart from that, Guus is the one I think we're chasing for the short term.

Ouch, even with an Australian National Hero managing you guys, I still hope you get relegated.

Well thanks

To be fair, I hope Wenger stays at Arsenal another 10 years haha.

Lol surely Hiddink doesn't take it, there is absolutely nothing in it for him.
