The Managerial Sack Race

[dom9]

Tuchel to Arsenal might make sense.

[Shaggy]

Yep that's a result for us

Sheffield Wednesday sacked Tony Pulis, he only got the job in November and lasted just 10 games

10 games? WTF ? That’s terrible isnt it. You’ve got to give a bloke time

[Kenneth]

Everyone hates his guts, fans I know, and players alike, by the sounds of it.

[Doc_Piptorious]

He got 8 points from 10 games for them. Sheffield United would kill for that return right now

A lot has changed in 2 weeks since Christmas and Fat Frank is teetering on the edge of feeling the wrath of Roman, club legend of not... one more defeat might just do for him.

[Bender]

So who will be next in the sack race? Bruce? Wilder? Hodgson? Potter?

[Buzzo]

...Mourinho???

[Bender]

...Mourinho???

damn i really should stop looking at the teams near the bottom of the table

[S-RED]

Jose i reckon; but Fat Sam has to be in with a shout (unless he walks, as he won't want a relegation on his CV).

Can't see Bruce, Bodge, Wilder going before seasons end & Potter is loved by Bloom & Ashworth (PCDNW)

[Buzzo]

Wilder definitely won’t get the sack. He has been backed by the owner even in the event of relegation. Also the fans love him. I listened to a phone in and a SU fan was saying he wanted Wilder to stay no matter what because of what he had already achieved. I think they feel about him the same way non idiot fans of LFC feel about Klopp.

Fair play to them, he has done a really good job there, he took them from League 1 to the PL and kept them there after only a couple of years in the Championship. IIRC there was talk that their promotion to the PL was 'too soon'. I think that a lot of clubs make it to the PL and get carried away and sack managers who have done good jobs to get them there rather than being realistic with expectations. I don't mean this to sound disrespectful but I imagine if you had told their fans 5 or 6 years ago that they would win league 1, spend two years in the Championship before getting promoted to the PL, spend 2 seasons there before being relegated most of them would have been made up with that.

Proper journey for their fans. And if they back their man, keep most of their team together, and add sensibly, then they could fight to come back up again.

I think Sheff U have been victims of the no fans in grounds situation as well. Similar to LFC. The crowd certainly helps.

Funny how having no fans have helped certain teams then too. West Ham for instance. When they lost their first 2 games, their fans would have been on Moyes back and on the team.
