Oldham boss John Sheridan gone.... my hometown club - no surprise really

Oldham Athletic manager John Sheridan has left the League One club by mutual consent.

The 52-year-old took over for a third time in January, but won only 10 of his 33 games in charge.

He has left with the Latics bottom of the table after taking only four points from their opening nine games.

A statement on the Oldham website said the board had "not seen the progression we hoped with what was felt to be the nucleus of a good squad".

Sheridan's final game in charge was Saturday's 5-1 thrashing by Rotherham United.

"The board of directors would like to place on record their thanks to John for his contribution to the development of the club, not only during this tenure, but as both a player and manager previously," the statement read.

"His impact over the past two seasons in particular, when he has saved the club from near certain relegation on both occasions, will mean he is always guaranteed a warm welcome here by both the club and fans alike."

Sheridan first managed Oldham from 2006-2009 and had a six-month spell in charge in 2016 before leaving to take over at Notts County.

He returned at the beginning of 2017 following the sacking of Stephen Robinson, but they have won only one league game so far this season and lost seven.

He can concentrate on drinking now.

Bodge 10/1 to be next manager sacked/to leave....

If Bilic can turn West Ham around a bit I'd be tempted

Few stories going around the Carlo Ancelotti will be sacked

[Bender]

Carlo Ancelotti has been SACKED by Bayern Münich.

[Kenneth]

Yep, he's gone.

[Shaggy]

I remember Reds wanting him ahead of Klopp. Biggest fraud in management imo.

The decision will probably get some stick but I think it's right, they've continued the dull, paceless, stale **** from pre season in to their league games even if the results have been ok. He's not the right manager to develop players or oversee a rebuilding process with some of their best players gone or way past prime.

Walks into top level jobs, takes over other people's top class squads, befriends them all, makes them feel good, does alright. But he's won 4 league titles in God knows how long at various elite clubs. A fraud.

Yeah, I can't really fault it either, wonder who they turn to though. Isn't Nagelman too young, and Tuchel too difficult?

[Resu]

I fear the answer could be close to us.
Not sure he`ll take it, but the resources at Bayern would be tempting.

In no way is a multiple CL and Title-winning coach a fraud. The best managers get the top squads, had he failed in all those jobs you'd have a point, and some managers would have.

Talk was of Nagelman before the sacking, but i reckon its too big of a job for him. Probably favourite though.

Would Bayern have more resources than us? Apart from being able to cherrypick from the best of the Bundesliga they would struggle to compete with the top English clubs due to the influx of TV money. I did a quick check and the highest amount paid by a Bundesliga club is €43m.

It's a bit of a cliche that football is cyclical; however, with the cash and high class managers in England it would appear with the recent Champions league results that it may be the turn of the English clubs.

Huge risk for him, so early in his career too, players like Robben, Lewa, Ribery and Hummels might not take well to a young, in-experienced coach.
