Manager Sacking and Appointment Thread

[Lost Mackem]

I'm not sure that's anything to crow about irregardless of how badly NUFC is run.

He seems to do things just to annoy those up the road. That'll do for me.

I used to run quite regularly with a sports journalist, and as you run you talk, especially sport, and Bruce was this guy's most detested manager; apparently he regularly, deliberately either made "no shows" or very late, would be aggressive, arrogant and unhelpful etc;- more than was normal, and seemed to like "the power" over people who were trying to get on with their jobs.
The NUFC job is a poison chalice but Bruce will know he will be given "credit" for taking it in the face of huge issues etc, by many: however the FACT he will be getting very well paid, a three year deal, potential huge pay off etc is less obvious. Bruce will pocket the money, act the stressed, hard done by local bloke trying his best in adversity etc and SOME may be fooled.

Worst paid manager in the Premier League apparently.

Blimey is that Sol throwing toys out , did a decent job there last season

The club have no money.

Sol Campbell did a great job helping them survive relegation with no money. They lost just 2 or their last 10 games. Also, players not being paid could have affected results, but he got them playing. Some of the former players rightly wanting their wages, is what the latest winding up petition is about.

I agree pound for pound keeping Macclesfield up last year from when Campbell came in was one of the best managerial achievements of last season particularly for a rookie manager

Huddersfield have sacked Jan Siewart after losing at home to Fulham tonight. Only won once- against Wolves in nineteen games he was in charge.

Now that is a job I can imaging Phil Brown really keen for.

Should never have sacked Wagner.

 

[Bearded Shrimper]

I know his record stinks but to sack him this early just seems odd. Surely you've got to give a manager 7-10 games of a new season. 3/4 games is dumb. If he's that bad sack him in the summer

 

[Bearded Shrimper]

they didn't. Wagner quit coz he'd gone mentally

Saw the highlights of the game earler on Fulham tv.Can't say I was too suprised.

Parkinson and his assistant resign from Bolton.
