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

It’s been like two months now hasn’t it?

To be fair it’s difficult for any club at this level to find a manager rn, never mind one the size of Burton and in their position.

No one wants to work for Fleur Robinson. Can't say I'm shocked.

People would work with ISIS if they are paid enough.

For pretty much *any* league managerial job, I bet there are a ton of candidates, given how few jobs of this kind are available.

And managers, by the nature of the job, have to have a big enough ego to think that they can be the one to succeed where others have failed.

Burton will get someone for sure, but I guess a lot depends on the assurances the new gaffer is given in terms of leeway to bring in new faces in January, and whether if BAFC do go down, the new mgr gets the freedom to have a mass clearout.

But they can’t just keep chopping and changing managers, that doesn’t do anyone any good.

You wouldn't if you were him, would you?

I'm sure Burton types must be delighted to have finally settled on an unlikely candidate a mere two months after sacking the last bloke!

Taylor Gone

Taylor Gone

Not surprised TBH.
His terrible signings and dismal football set us back years.

All the years of respect in the club built by Paul Warne were lost in just over a year.

It's taking a long time to get over him and we are way off the Warne years at present.

Better record over the last eleven than Guardiola

Surely they’ll go for Buckingham after his sacking from Oxford

God I hope not. If we’ve learnt anything from Taylor, it’s not to hire a manager whos been sacked so quickly. What Taylor was doing to Rotherham he decided to repeat here without need for reflection and he will have got 2 teams relegated.

I think managers need a bit of time out for self reflection and learning

Didn’t you sign like 18 players this summer though? Not sure how you can blame this season on Taylor?

You can have Caldwell if you like

I suppose it sounds harsh but when a club gets used to losing it's hard to recover a winning mentality.

He signed a load of old injury prone players like Grant Hall, Lee Peltier, Shaun Morrison, Cafu, Sam Clucas, all excellent Championship players in their day but always breaking down and disrupting the team.

As a team we got used to losing, hopeless away from home, beaten before the game started, boring negative football which got no better under the short spell under Richardson.

Despite bringing in 14 players, the whole club has still felt under a cloud for the season so far, it seems that it's not a simple task to get rid of negativity.
I expect we will move on Huggill, Bramall and Humphries in January, they are all decent players but they are a link to darker times who just can't seem to move on.

We can't carry on blaming him but he definitely started a rot we are finding hard to shift.

The problem with Matt Taylor is he never tries anything different. Same negative lineups with 2 CDMs, brings on defenders when we need a goal. Same substitutions every game. Same outcome (defeat and zero shots on target)
The local rag must love him, cut and paste match reports each week just change the opposition name

The word on the street is. Its someone who George Friend has worked with in the past. Not British.

I’m really starting to dislike the George Friend show that’s suddenly emerging.

Yeah I get where you’re coming from tbf and a lot of that sounds similar to us right now (not the type of player, but the losing/culture part).

One thing I’d question though, is about your previous championship seasons. You’ve always come down pretty quickly and with minimal points on the board. Was there a difference between Taylor’s relegation Vs the others?

Burton's long search for a manager continues.

With the sackings of Matt Taylor, Russell Martin & Des Buckingham, Burton’s interim guy is now the 79th longest-serving manager in the 92.

And he could be moving up the ladder even more later given there's at least another 1 or 2 that are surely at risk of being sacked imminently as well!

 

[Luke Imp]

I can't believe the Burton vacancy is still rumbling on. What are they on now, the 6th choice? Might as well get Dino back at this point.

That said, they'll still go on a mental run and survive as they always do!

Don't think that'll happen this season. What's always bailed them out is that teams being promoted from L2, one or two of them are often weak as piss and end up going down.

But with the calibre of promoted sides this time, even that escape route for them looks blurry. Them and Shrewsbury are as good as down in my opinion.

Do you work for the Star with those name spellings?

If anyone's interested*, our former manager Steve "Stewart" Rusk has been appointed caretaker at Southampton. The very definition of failing upwards, that bloke.

Matt Etherington is his assistant. Lasted 3 games with us before quitting (not sacked, he actually quit and walked away) and a couple of months with Colchester before being sacked.

Doesn't look like a management team designed to keep you up.

Reminds me of the time when our former manager and Leyton Orient failure Steve Davis went from 21st in the National League and sacked to the Premier League in a few years as caretaker boss of Wolves! That really was failing upwards!
