Re: The Sack Race aka Official Management Carousel Thread

This timeline is all off though so who knows.

He always wins the league in his second season and that didn’t happen either.

The other issue with him is that there's like two jobs that he would actually take that would have him in the next few years. PSG and Portugal (and maybe some other nations too). Chelsea & Madrid get weird sometimes if things aren't going great, so I guess you shouldn't rule them out completely.

Man U holding their nose and giving him essentially a blank check will keep him there longer than usual because they were in a pretty desperate situation by their standards, and he has them back in the CL spots.

So, where does Conte land? Anywhere expected or rumored?

I think he will take some time off.

I definitely could see him at Bayern or Real Madrid next season, as I don't think either Kovac or Lopetegui will last long. Lopetegui might not even last the full season, he is really not a very good coach.

Other than that, not too many clubs are a good fit for him. Maybe Atletico if Simeone ever left. Inter would be a good fit as well, but I'm not sure how that would go down with him being both a Juve player and manager.

I could also see one of OL/OM taking a shot at him, with Neymar in the league and the profile getting bigger maybe one of those two takes a chance and tries to make a jump up.

He should take some time off and wait until Mancini gets canned by Italy and go back there. His style is the antithesis of Italian national footy.

I don't think Real would take him but they did take Mou so who knows. Like Bret said, Chelsea and Real do some strange things when they get desperate. If he went to Bayern and they thought Pep was a task master just wait until Conte gets there.

Sounds like Thierry Henry is set to become the manager of Aston Villa.

The bookies are tipping Zidane to take over United.

Re: The Sack Race aka Official Management Carousel Thread

That wouldn't be a good appointment I don't think.

He's a great manager, but part of his success at Real Madrid was that he and Perez were always on the same page. He won't get that at United.

Re: The Sack Race aka Official Management Carousel Thread

Which really begs the question. What is exactly the plan at United? It seems like they're basically saying that they've given him enough money in transfers and salary since he's arrived. Which they probably have.

I mean if they give Mourinho some time he could probably turn it around - it's only 3 matches. But he really seems to be losing the confidence of the players. It doesn't help when the biggest name on the team just won the World Cup, has Raiola as his agent, and both are popping off in the media. United's problems aren't all Mourinho's making.

Really, only a few of United's problems are Jose's fault.

That club has no plan for anything right now. They are big and they are rich and beyond that they don't seem to have anything worked out.

They have spent a lot for Jose but like half the players they bought he didn't even want. It's shades of Liverpool and that comical transfer committee or whatever it was called.

Like I said, if you hire Jose then you need to be committed to spending a bunch of money on specific players of his choosing. If you do that, he will win you trophies. If you don't do that, he will probably still win you trophies but not the ones you want.

Jose isn't perfect, but the United upper management needs to take way more blame than they are being given.

Re: The Sack Race aka Official Management Carousel Thread

Mourinho create(d) success and destroys it. As a coach, nobody can underestimate what he has created. His personality makes him ruin everything when he is not successful, his arrogant self-understanding is not built for defeat, therefore he is not inconvenient as a coach.
United problem is not really him, but their legacy after Ferguson. He got the job he had wanted for many years (He got the job because of his friendship with Ferguson), but he did not get the support he thought he would get. Viewed from the outside, both parties are guilty of where they stand. Had United just used a little intelligence and, not least, had they seen the script on the wall the day he was fired in Chelsea. It was the season in which I lost all respect for him, the way he used a doctor (Among other things) to relinquish for lack of success. The house of cards is about to tip over, and his confidence is gone, actually so bad that it almost too sorry for him. He should have taken a long break after Chelsea. He gets fired in United, the question is only when?.

Re: The Sack Race aka Official Management Carousel Thread

I got bored, decided to look back on this thread, mostly because I love it.

Jose will not be going to MCU. The club has come out and said they are still backing LVG, and also said the Griggs will be his replacement when the time comes.

Well, to no one's surprise, Mourinho did end up at Man Utd.

Juan Mata's like "Guys, guys. Let's think about this for minute."

He's still there, to the surprise of everyone.

Four new managers in the Championship so far I think.

Di Mattaeo to Villa (with Steve Clarke)
Pearson to Derby
Stubbs to Rotherham
Monk to Leeds

Should be another interesting year in the division.

DiMatteo sacked on 3 October 2016
Pearson sacked on 8 October 2016
Stubbs sacked on 16 October 2016
Monk resigned on 25 May 2017

I doubt anyone will be willing to fork out £65m on him after his abysmal display. Origi did more in the last 20 minutes than he did all game.

Ended up being 75m + 15m in add-ons, but it wasn't 65!

Spain name Julen Lopetegui as new manager. Managed their youth teams in the early 2010s and was at Porto the past two seasons.

Strangely didn't make the World Cup.

Honestly think Bruce Arena would kill it with a top European team

Oof.

The FA has announced Gareth Southgate as the new England manager on a four-year deal. He's expected to be sacked following a poor performance in the 2018 World Cup.

Oof x2.

Pardew's reaction when another Premier Leauge club gives him a job and a nice contract for next season:

It was West Brom, it was West Brom all along.

Someone needs to save Gylfi Sigrudsson from that cesspool. I bet he wishes he would've picked Liverpool when he had the choice.

Does Everton count as him being "saved"?

Wenger going to Barca and immediately winning several trophies would be beyond hilarious.

Also @Kreb, you guys can do way better than Enrique

Is Emery better than Enrique?

Wouldn't be surprised to see them go after Marco Silva. Despite Hull going down, I thought he did a damn good job with that squad.

They did, then Everton did, no word on who will seemingly randomly headhunt in the middle of the season this year.

Rafa leaves after getting tired of the dysfunction that is Newcastle.

This had to be the surest bet any of us would've made, and yet somehow HERE WE ARE.

I'm telling you all now, if you post a new image on this thread it better top Pardew dancing or I'm reposting him immediately.

That is my morning laugh every time I open Tapatalk.

This is the most important post in the thread.

Where will he end up, AC Milan?

In regards to Ancelotti, it ended up being Napoli. Our predictions... sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe ****!

So, Nagelsmann at Bayern next year is happening, right? Even more likely now than it already was.

You put too many letters in Kovac.

So when does Ronald Koeman get canned?

23 October 2017

BUT WILL RYAN GIGGS GET A JOB?!

Yes, Wales. Shame he wasn't able to get a job because of all the foreigners though.

Wow did I really say that about Bruce Arena?

Sweet jesus.

Let's not say rash things now.

I misspelled Euro 2020—oops.

Re: The Sack Race aka Official Management Carousel Thread

The writing was on the cabbage, Steve Bruce has been sacked from Aston Villa.

maybe bring in Tim Sherwood so Grealish can get the proper Spurs experience he wanted
