The Managerial Sack Race

[frank the tank]

His comments after the game put the blame squarely on the owner, basically saying the recruitment wasn't good enough.

It was also a boot in the balls to the existing squad, saying they aren't good enough.

It was Lampardesque - taking no accountability at all and publicly blaming the club and players.

I found his comments strange too. It is almost like the whole thing was a self-constructive dismissal!!!

Feel for Scott Parker. Did a great job getting Bournemouth promoted. Furthermore, he’s had little financial support to recruit players. BUT!!! That performance on Saturday was the worst I’ve ever seen from a Premier League side. It was terrible.

Agree with all but the later. Our performance would have made any other opponents look bad

It’s not the first time he’s spoken this summer about the need for investment and the squad being too inexperienced for the Premier league. The club have obviously told him that they won’t be spending money and he’s not prepared to work under those constraints, which is fair enough. He could have resigned but chose to stay and be vocal about the direction that the club want to follow, which is his prerogative.

Personally, I have no time for clubs who view promotion as an opportunity for season long cash grab (plus parachute payments), it lowers the quality of the league and basically takes money from those clubs who contribute to the success of the league. And that’s what Bournemouth are doing, there’s no way they are staying up, whoever takes over, because they are still a championship side.

Jack Ross sacked by Dundee United.

Dundee United also lost 9-0 at the weekend

Shipped something like 25 goals in last 4 games

Three stripes and you’re out…

These didn’t get enough praise

Wonder if Brendan put his own name in the envelope at the start of the season?

Gerrard definitely in the bookies crosshairs now. Has to be favourite to go next… even Scotty ‘four stripes’ Parker’s old team managed a win today.

Why 'now' ?

A draw against the all conquering Manchester City is a great result and would have taken all three points had it not been for incompetent officiating.

[Buzzo]

Yeah that was a great result and performance.

Leicester have Brighton today then Leicester v Villa next week. Brendan could be under pressure unless he gets a win in one of those.

If Leicester loose 2/3-0 today then Rodgers is gone imo

[Kenneth]

Why only if it’s 2 or 3 nil?

[red g]

Not sure Leicester will want to pay out £15million quid to sack him.
