The Manager Sack Race/Merry-go-Round

[Winston Smith]

a brief read of a Birmingham forum tells me:

1. they are really pissed off about this
2. they believe Grianfranco Zola is going to be their next manager
3. they think they will have a fair bit of money to spend in January and Rowett was not trusted to spend it wisely

[Hoop Blah]

Another basket case club, what is wrong with the football?

Corrected for you.

[Sutekh]

How utterly stupid can you get. Was there more to it perhaps....

Hope Rowett comes back to haunt them big time with other clubs.

Also Ady Williams reckons there's a load of pressure on Mick McCarthy, he's been saying it every week since September so I'm starting to think it's might be true by now.

Yeah, apparently Zola is the replacement. Massive from me.

Would that be 17th placed Ipswich who have previously finished 14th, 9th, 6th and 7th? Where McCarthy has been manager for four years - almost four times the average Championship tenure? No shit, Adie.

Ady

You're right. I'd feel bad, but he's a bit of a twat.

[AthleticoSpizz]

Yeah, but he's our twat

[Harpers So Solid Crew]

Zola can oxf*rd right off, hope they drop near the relegation zone in the next 10 or so games.

Poor Alex Neil...his face said it all today

He's next

Anyone at Norwich got Gary Rowett's number?!

I can't listen to him anymore

Indeed, Reckon he'll be nailed on for that. Let's hope they wait until after Boxing Day though.

He's a dead man walking, but hopefully the Norwich board have some empathy and don't sack the poor bloke a week before Christmas. From a purely selfish point of view, Reading could do with him being in charge on Boxing Day as well.

Well we do have a tendency to win games and then the oppo sack their manager, another one could fall to the curse.

I can't see them booting him out during the week, the earliest time will be after the Boxing Day game, and if we have a good win, I think his time will be up. Gary Rowett won't be out of a job for long, thats for sure.

[Winston Smith]

National media saying Wagner is walking out on Huddersfield to become Wolfsberg manager. Local Hudds journo's saying no.

[Hendo]

I think that would really put them in the shit. He has gotten them playing a certain way and to have that ripped out halfway through might see them plummet down the table.

[Stranded]

:shock:

Would be a shame for them if he goes, but you could understand it if he was interested. Wolfsburg are a pretty big club but are seriously struggling this year. It's a job he would have been nowhere near before going to Huddersfield.

Oh aye, I agree.

A job offer like that would be a head-turner.
