It can work both ways but both the Premier League examples you cite the teams were bottom of the table. When Phil Brown took over yes we were on a poor run but had been missing Tomlin and Laird, 2 key players. We were a few points off the play offs, and in a wembley play off final.
Do managers often get sacked at the top of the table then ?
We were heading towards the bottom of the form table and form didnt improve when we had a decent team out getting one point at home to 3 bottom half sides.
We have three of the leading strikers in the division, good experienced defenders, the top goal provider in Hurst, a sprinkling of premiership quality in Reeves and Lund. Youd expect him to have SOME positive effect. Instead we have thrown away a 2-goal lead at Bradford (and lucky not to lose it), put in an inept home performance against Fleetwood, lost at Wembley with poor tactics and played off the park by bloody Rochdale. He has clearly had no positive motivation on the players.
If it was that easy to have a positive effect then why couldnt the manager who brought them to the club do it?
