The Managerial Sack Race

Frank Lampard given the Coventry job

Football management, especially in the UK, bemuses me.

You can fail badly time after time and still keep getting job offer after job offer.

Ruud to Leicester soon.

Having a conversation with my mate at the moment who is resistant to my suggestion that Lampard only got the managerial jobs he has because he is English, his reputation as a player and his family connections. As a manager he hasn't improved any side he has been at.

Only for a special few, who are allowed to keep failing until they don't. A bit like broader society

There must be so many English managers who would be a better fit than that muppet with the right friends in Sky

He's hilarious.

Gerrard is even worse. Mr de-motivator.

So it's a race for Fat Sam... what a privileged position to be in as he can name his price!

Gary O’Neil from Wolves sacked

Think he is a prime example of how costly VAR incompetence is.


Think it was ESPN that were doing a league table corrected for the obvious VAR mistakes and the VAR errors that an apology was issued for and for Wolves the corrections had them out of the bottom three.

The top three in the table stayed the same as now but Bournemouth were in 4th and City were in 5th.

I think he retired, but I get your point - I believe he hasn't been well for a while

Aye - Feel sorry for him, every decent player sold, Var and then his players act up.
