The Manager Sack Race/Merry-go-Round

[Stranded]

Always felt Everton are the northern Spurs, maybe with a 5/10 year delay. Loads of potential, historically in the shadow of their local rivals.

Aren't they looking at a big new stadium too?

Yep - planning permission received in March - virtual flythrough video here - looks like it could be pretty impressive once built:

Really looking forward to seeing this one, really nice looking stadium in a nice setting. Shame to lose Goodison Park as it is one of the originals but times change.

Disappointing campaign for Everton given the start they’d made to the season and the signings they’d made

Wouldn’t be too disappointed if I was an Everton fan, they couldn’t buy a win at home and they were so defensive away from home, real poor watch

I wonder what James Rodriguez is thinking right now

Gerrard to Everton

[NathStPaul]

Gerrard to Everton

Can't see it personally. I think he will end up staying at Rangers until Klopp goes and then takeover at Liverpool.

Rafa Benitez would do a great job at Everton IMO, provided he gets a decent budget of course. Think he is an excellent manager who often gets forgotten about.

Boyhood Everton fan wasn't he?

Spurs in talks with Conte.

Spurs in talks with Conte.

Would be an excellent appointment.

[NathStPaul]

Yeah he is the man for Spurs. Can't see him going there without cast iron guarantees that Levy will get his chequebook out either.

[genome]

Also in talks apparently to take Juventus's former DOF Paratici. Having a DOF would be a big change for Tottenham too, Levy will be handing over a fair bit of control there.

Derek Adams leaves Morecambe, off to Bradford it sounds like.

Derek Adams leaves Morecambe, off to Bradford it sounds like.

I don't know the exact figure but it seems like Bradford have had 30 different managers in the last 5 years.

I don't know the exact figure but it seems like Bradford have had 30 different managers in the last 5 years.

8 (or 9 if you count joint role as 2) managers (incl. 2 caretakers) since February 2018:

Greg Abbott (Feb 2018) - caretaker
Simon Grayson (Feb to May 2018)
Michael Collins (June to September 2018)
David Hopkins (September 2018 to February 2019)
Martin Drury (February to March 2019) - caretaker
Gary Bowyer (March 2019 to February 2020)
Stuart McCall (February to December 2020)
Mark Trueman and Connor Sellers (December 2020 to present, includes 2 months as caretakers)

Bradford City is the club i always manage in Champ Manager, them or Blackpool.

Absolute sleeping giant. Big crowds, passionate fan base but something clearly amiss.

Nuno to Palace

[NathStPaul]

Nuno to Palace

Bit of a coup for Palace, surprised Nuno would go there given the situation they are in with their squad.

[Hendo]

Excellent appointment by Palace. Nuno must've been given assurances that players will either be re-signing or there will be significant budget to get new players in.
