Is it time for a 'Managerial Merry go round' thread?

[Boletus Edulis]

True but it could be he’s in charge tomorrow if Gary McSheffrey has been given it.

Do think that is likely, from within, or do you think they will go for an external appointment?

Honestly no idea, he became the favourite all I know is that him, Paul Simpson and Paul Trollope had interviews then 2 of those got a second interview. Thought McSheffrey was nailed on but the sudden departure of Morecambe’s coach who worked with Simpson makes me wonder

 

[DearneValleyRover]

McSheffrey finally named, I’ve no idea why it took so long to announce him, assistant manager and 2 new coaches also lined up, a head of football to be brought in, a minimum of 4 players lined up, just missing a miracle to get us out of the shite.

It sounds like an underwhelming cheap option but you never know.

When we appointed our fitness coach, Paul Warne, there were some of our supporters up in arms but as he was a bit of a club hero, he was accepted by most fans and given a chance.

Obviously we went down, because of the damage already caused by Stubbs, Redfearn and Jackett, but Tony Stewart stuck by him in the close season and he has turned into a pretty special manager.

Your fans might just have to accept that the damage is already done and prepare for a season in league 2 to be able to move forward.
If he can keep Donny up it will be an incredible acheivement but good luck to him (except against us obviously).

Didn't expect McSheffrey to get it. Important that he brings in some experience as a number two, like Flynn did at Newport when he stepped up.

He’s identified who he would like so just have to wait and see, need 4 experienced players in and the walking wounded back, might just stand a chance then but I’m not hopeful

 

[DearneValleyRover]

Frank Sinclair appointed has is assistant but still someone to come in as a DoF apparently plus coaches. 4 players lined up for 4th January

[K-Win]

Paul Cook has spoken about his Ipswich experience. Not too happy about it, obviously.

He's saying he should have walked in the summer when a Performance Dept was foisted on him. Sounds like there was a bit of a difference of opinion.

Also says he would have walked if he knew he'd be judged after 20 games of the season.

"Sacked Manager Not Happy Shock", I know. Still interesting, though.

 

[GFC4EVA]

Steve Evans has left by mutual consent

Should have taken that Stevenage money.

 

[GFC4EVA]

Yep, Evans had to go but for me the root cause is still here

 

[PuB]

Couldn’t agree more, the reason the players/Evans haven’t been getting much stick is because the cancer (using his words) is still there

 

[Luke Imp]

I'm assuming Scally didn't let Evans go to Stevenage because a) he thought Evans would turn it around and/or b) the potential other options were poor and didn't think he could get better?

Which has obviously backfired a bit. Can't think of too many decent candidates out there, even allowing for your league position.

 

[PuB]

There’s definitely a lack of options around at the moment and I can’t see anyone doing a better job under the current circumstances. I reckon we’ll just give it to someone till the end of the season (probably Neil Smith given that he’s been at a lot of games recently) and see where we are in the summer.

Was almost right, we’ve brought Steve Lovell back on ‘a short term basis’. I’m ok with that, he’s a very decent guy.

 

[THE LAST WALTZ]

We haven’t won for something like 9-10 games and have scored about 4 goals in that time and picked up one point.
The players are/were unhappy and didn’t want to play for the manager.
We are 7 points from safety and look pretty doomed so I would say I can’t see anyone doing a worse job at the moment.

 

[PuB]

Andy Woodman (Bromley manager and best friend of Gareth Southgate) is now favourite for our job. Although I doubt we’ll appoint anyone where there’s compensation involved.

Seems a great character though if anyone listens to the Undr the Cosh podcasts, my two favourite episodes were with him.

If you're looking at the National League, Scally should be banging on the door at The Shay. Pete Wild has done a great job up there.

I don’t disagree and I’m very sure Wild will get a chance higher up the pyramid sooner rather than later. I’m wondering if the Bromley link is more because of location being about half hour or so away.

Lee Johnson gone at Sunderland. Not really surprising.

And Woodman rejects Gills approach. Not a surprise either

Bloody typical, could have waited until after our match on Saturday, we are bad enough without the new manager bounce

Every chance we might be in the same division next season, if I had a pick of the two it certainly wouldn’t be with us.

 

[YEO YEO YEO]

Is it just the Gills and now Sunderland without managers?

 

[Super_horns]

Too many heavy away defeats done for him ?

Home form isn’t bad ..

Definitely. The board certainly dont't want another playoff failure

 

[Marked Ox]

Agreed, utterly ludicrous even with a heavy defeat yesterday. I wonder how many defeats will it take before their supporters are calling for the new manager to be sacked? 2, 3 or 4?
