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

[Throbber_for_Dunk]

Yes because no other club has injuries.
Presumably he is paid very well so they can't afford to sack him

Aye, we have had a bit of a nightmare with injuries though I know that doesn't make us unique.

Feels more like the people Monk has built around (Gardner, Watts, Jobe, Stokes, Lavery) have all got injured straight away, which is the mitigation.

Presumably he'll hit some performances clause soon that he hasn't yet, but with the scum only a match or two away, I'm not too excited to find out!

 

[Casey]

I feel a bit sorry for our manager...and the previous one . Lindsey obviously looked at us and said 'no chance' of beating the drop. Now Elliot is left to pick up the pieces. Need to be a cross between Pep and Klopp to keep us up.

Just too many changes from last season. Our game at Wycombe we had two players left from Wembley and one staff member. How to chuck away a good season.

Not a managerial change, but Paul Tisdale has gotten himself a role as a Lead Data Analyst at Celtic!

and he will be the finest dressed lead data analyst there ever was, and will be. Useless manager though, for us at least.

I remember we desperately needed a striker in the January window and he had a hard-on for Jayden Stockley who eventually ended up going to Charlton. We did sign a GK and RB...no striker..... and promptly went down. Well done Tis you flat cap wearing twonk

 

[saddler78]

2 wins in a row and MT lives to fight another day. I'm still not convinced but after spending that amount of money we have to give him until Dec at least

How's Huchinson been mate?

 

[GEORGE]

How's Huchinson been mate?

So far -- No where near Third division standard. In fact awful.

And he now describes himself as a “football doctor”

The bloke is arrogant beyond belief and I don’t miss him managing us at all, despite the good times in his first 5 years or so.

I feel your pain with his poor recruitment. He always loved Stockley but he often left us frustrated in the transfer market.

Yeah he put all his eggs in one basket with Stockley and then we were left with nothing.
Have you seen Tisdales personal website?...very funny. Cant seem to find it now, maybe he deleted it

Having a look around managers/coaches that are currently out of work, there aren't many that jump out at you that would be prepared to drop or manage at the bottom of League One right now.

Gareth Ainsowrth, Mick Beale, Neil Critchley, Pete Wild, Leam Richardson

Those are probably the better coaches about right now out of work for one reason or another (I am aware they would all come with negatives as well, but thats the way it goes at this level), but lets be honest are any of them really going to want a job at any of the bottom six in this league right now with the budgets we have? Unlikely.

Then you have the types that no one really wants due to poor last jobs, but might have to accept if you really want a change:

Paul Ince, Dino Maamria, Andy Crosby, Joe Edwards, Ian Foster, Joey Barton - Although his record is acceptable, I wouldn't want someone with his personality and the way he's recently conducted himself in the public eye managing my football club and being the clubs voice which is why I stuck him in this list.

In conclusion, no manager is immune from the sack, if you lose ten in a row say, then yeah a change is likely.

But with money seemingly tight this year and a lack of options about unless you're prepared to appoint a young first time coach and give them time to implement their ideas which will likely mean more short term pain, then I can't see many managerial changes at this level.

I can see ourselves, Shrewsbury & Northampton for example sticking with who we have even if we was to go down, because lets be honest, we won't be getting anybody better any time soon.

Pete Wild would jump through fire to get a bottom 6 League One Job.

 

[ForzaCounty]

Wild would be ideal for someone like Shrewsbury tbf.

That's kinda the way we've gone.

Our last four managers have been pretty out of keeping with previous appointments. I think it takes some balls to go for a young first time coach like we did with Kennedy and have with Skubala (and even part time Cowley from Braintree really) but I think our Board's argument would be that if the Club is structured correctly, you can minimise that risk.

Slops haven't got a pot to piss in. Overspent to stay in the league for a few years and now they are cutting back. In their defence, they are desparate for investment.

Halifax and Barrow weren't exactly flush with cash either, that's why I suggested him, see if he can again get something out of nothing at a higher level.

True, but they have probably got more money than slops.

Think it's probably more the point that we haven't got the money to get rid of the management team even if the Chairman wanted to

Which is what I said above. You need to get rid of Wycherley and get new investment but at the same time, its always better the devil you know. Look at us for example...

The annual Burton great escape is about to start - Robinson sacked.

Thing is with Burton they are genuinely quite good offensively, it’s if the defence can be salvaged.

No idea who they could go for.

 

[Master D]

Surely Evans is under pressure at Rotherham. Miles off the pace already when they were meant to be a promotion contender.

You’d think the board are seriously concerned at the start - birmingham have double their points tally and have played twice as less.

 

[AdamStag]

Would appear Monk has purchased himself some time at cambridge with successive wins.

Gary rowett is out of work..
Wonder if we could tempt him back.
A squad of 77 players and none of them can defend.

It’s getting quite boring now. We can’t keep circling the plug hole every season. I’d rather go down, rebuild properly and try to come back up.

Probably your best bet is to try and outscore teams until january and look then a defensive options? if you can be within touching distance by then who knows.

You’ve some tidy players!

Sweeney looked pretty good against us

 

[The Terminator]

As I originally said, not many experienced League One firefighters out of work right now.

Except Joey Barton who is a liability for different reasons.

Intrigued to see who Burton go for next.

Is that like 36 games at this level without a win for Mark Robinson?

It is yes. Which makes you think surely he is now damaged goods and back to youth team football for him. This was his chance and he blew it.

Skubula is getting a few mentions including from me on the Bolton Forum once Evatt goes

If you go down with a whimper and finish bottom then you'll risk going even further down the following season into the non-league.

Finishing 24th in L1 can have dire consequences even if you have a decent budget.
