  • Stratching my head for obvious candidates. The Wednesday position is still vacant also
    Craig Bellamy?
    Thats who their fans are saying 
  • Last season Cardiff finished 5th, Forest 7th and Derby 10th. All have changed managers already

    And the latter two have shown very minimal improvement with results...
  • Wonder if they will come back for Bowyer

    Him and Darren Moore could well be prime candidates from League One

    Michael Appleton another

    with his current 'record' ? .. I doubt it very much

    corrected for you ...
  • So Harris is now free.

    Watch out Bowyer....
  • Gillingham or Southend next for Harris

    Have nothing but respect for Harris as a player and a bloke, but unfortunately, as a manager, that’s about his level.

    some managers only suit one club, usually where they have played and have a nice comfy history .. Harris I suspect is one of those as is Bowyer ? .. I suspect so

    I think you could be right. Said it on another thread a while back, as a manager I’d put Bowyer in the same mould as Harris. Great motivator. Tactically limited. Doesn’t react very well when things start to go wrong. Tend to blame others.  Lacks a bit of humility maybe. 

    think Bowyer is more of a de-motivator ….

    Chris Powell?

    His record as a manager since leaving us isn't great and it's notable that he's now head coach at Spurs' academy, somewhere where he can offer a lot without the pressure and tactical decision making of being a 1st team manager

    Rafa Benitez has stepped down from his job in China, Coronavirus being one of the reasons who presumably he wants to come back home. Expect to see his name linked with jobs...

    If Sandgaard has any ambition!!
  • Frank Lampard is set be sacked by Chelsea less than 24 hours after the club's FA Cup victory over Luton Town.

    Confirmation could come as soon as today after Chelsea players were told not to report to the training ground until this afternoon.

  • Thomas Tuchel heading to Chelsea 
  • Since taking over Chelsea Abramovich has spent £110m on manager payoffs. 
    That’s before he’s sacked Lampard

    Nice work if you can get it.

    Fail, big pay off, probably get a job elsewhere....

    Gennaro Gattuso’s future at Napoli is reportedly uncertain, with Rafael Benitez mentioned as the possible successor.

    Looking forward to seeing Tuchel in the premier league.  I really rate him.

    Feel a bit for Frank, but he knew how trigger happy Abramovic was when he took over, plus he'll get a nice payday out of it & get a job elsewhere 
  • Wednesday, Fleetwood and Port Vale positions still vacant if Frank's looking for another job quickly
  • After achieving a top four finish last season which was respectable during a transfer ban they spent a few quid this summer and the team hasn't really got going. Seems extremely harsh to be sacked after 19 league games considering they're through in the Champions League too.

    And we thought Meire was bad at making contracts!

    That's such a grotesque figure and waste of money.

    You'd think Chelsea would have learnt to stop giving such big long-term contracts to manager when it's obvious they'll last 1-2 years, not 3+.
  • Interesting to see if Lampard just leaves it as that and disappears to a relaxing retirement now. The Chelsea job should have been what he worked up to over years and years, now he's already done it, difficult to see what he'd work towards now. Seems pointless just to manage for the sake of it now. Unless he carries on in lower league and returns to Chelsea again in 5 years or so.

    I could easily see him sticking to MOTD work etc, easy job, decent pay, bright bloke who comes across well etc.

    But then I've got a feeling that he's young enough to fancy another go at management, and I think he could get another Premier League job, bottom half team.

    Interesting snippet from The Athletic, one of the reasons for Lampard's sacking being given as "the dressing room felt manager showed no empathy and were hurt by his public criticism."
