The Manager Sack Race/Merry-go-Round

[From Despair To Where?]

Middlesbrough, the Jeremy Beadle of Football. On the one hand, expectation big, on the other hand, achievement small.

Whose getting sacked tonight then? Cooper or Rodgers? Does a draw save them or both go.

If Cooper gets the chop that would be an utter disgrace, and Forest would then be the club everyone would like to see go down. Early days and all that but from the moment they got promoted through transfers and performance its been an utter car crash.

Wilder is ruining my season long acca so I am happy to see him go

Leicester to win, Forest to sack Cooper, Leicester to sack Rodgers and appoint Cooper

that made me chuckle and also nod at the same time lol - nothing would surprise me anymore!

Cooper is a Leicester type appointment.

And Rodgers to Forest of course.

Aren't they already the club everyone would like to see go down?

Thoroughly enjoying this.

Xabi Alonso takes over at Bayer Leverkusen

Good project at Leverkusen. A lot of talented players at his disposal and they can't do much worse than they have been. Great first proper managerial job.

Do you know the ins and outs of it there then?

Cooper gets a new deal at Forest until 2025

See it as a sensible and refreshing move. He's clearly a decent coach and if they end up going down he is well placed to get them back up again.

This. I really like this, how totally refreshing. Backs him for his previous record, owner essentially taking his share of responsibility for the summer recruitment.

Indeed, was just a bit surprised as it goes against the grain. Will have to see what actually happens if/when they go down though.

This will make it very interesting. WBA were waiting for Cooper to go before they sack Bruce and Middlesboro moved to get Wilder out and waiting for Cooper to come in - now that is not happening.

WBA options are limited unless they go old school i.e. Dyche etc.

Boro will probably go for a Terry or a Carrick perhaps.

I always worry when Steve Bruce is out of work. Would never want him anywhere near my club.

[Sanguine]

Mark Hughes is quietly doing a decent job at Bradford in League Two. He lost his first two games, since when the club has 11 league wins, 6 draws and 5 defeats. Crazy that it's nearly 20 years since they were at Championship level.

Is this the new “Board vote of confidence “ ?

If so, he’s still gone by the WC if they keep losing

Given him a contract but i bet the termination fee has been watered down somewhat.
