Sack Race - 2018/19

[joethegill]

That's a very good appointment. He should be managing at a higher level.

He tried that, and he wasn't very good at it.

For the record I think he'll do ok for Orient. He's had success at this level before with Newport so he has a bit of non-league pedigree. He is unfortunately a rather unpleasant individual who cares far more about himself than his club, and will probably sign about 10 midfielders in January for no real reason - he just loves them. Hopefully he's learnt his lessons from eventual failure with ourselves and then relatively abject failure at Northampton, but time will tell on that one!

 

[Monkey Tennis]

I'd have probably held off publicly announcing until Monday. Lose at Solihull and there will undoubtedly be people on his back already.

Or do what Pennock did with us - say he's going to sit in the stand for the first game, but if they win then take credit for it!

 

[Master D]

Worked wonders at Newport but he did have someone on his board there who literally won the lottery.

 

[GFCSludge]

Poor Orient, haven't you had enough shit to deal with recently?

 

[E10rifle]

I’m utterly underwhelmed. Think he’s better than Davis who was doomed from the start, though. Literally all he has to do is know how to organise a defence and we’ll start climbing the table.

Good luck with that then!

Edinburgh may well be a decent manager at non league level but he is also a fucking knob head.

 

[genesimmons]

Seems to be a guy on the managerial merry go round.

To be fair, I think an absolute c**t who’s not going to take any sh*t from our overpaid, lazy bunch of namby pamby players is probably going to be a good thing.

Unfortunately he tries to be best mates with the players - it's the fans he's a dickhead too!

Aye ... Burr did that with us.

 

[The Terminator]

Edinburgh was the best out of work candidate and we managed to get him, can't really complain in that regard.

However the club need a coach on the up, as opposed to one on the way down. But we've never paid compensation for any manager in my time and I couldn't see that starting now.

I'd have preferred Jay Saunders, Luke Garrard or Daryl McMahon (He's on one hell of a contract anyway!) myself, but it was never going to be.

Steve Davis will never ever manage again, Edinburgh won't either if he can't turn us around.

 

[Farleigh]

Jay Saunders? Got relegated in his first season at Maidstone, or more accurately failed to avoid the inevitable. Was given time by the owners, and complete support of the fans, even when results slipped. He will do someone a great job at a higher level, but not a crisis club looking for short term fix. Chris Kinnear, on the other hand...

Odly enough there was a article in the paper the other day about the same old tried and tested managers who keep on getting jobs despite numerous past failures and it was said its a pity the eddie howe type guys aint given a go as opposed to the allardyses, pardews, pulis types who all seem to manage the same clubs between them

 

[Gibber_McGee]

Justin Edinburgh is a bell-end and only got Newport promoted by spending loads of money from that Euromillions winner. Him and Newport and their knuckle dragging supporters were well suited to each other.

 

[Moss Rose Silkmen]

CHANGE AT EASTLEIGH.

"Following recent ongoing discussions, it has today been agreed that Richard Hill will move into a full-time role as Director of Football, with Andy Hessenthaler becoming First Team Manager.

When Richard returned, in April this year, the role he accepted was as Director of Football. His remit was to bring a period of stability to the Club, following a turbulent time, both on and off the pitch.

As a result, Richard also took over the reins as First Team Manager, and last season ensured that the Club maintained its status in the National League. He has also worked extremely hard behind the scenes in areas that are vitally important, but often unseen.

Andy Hessenthaler joined the Club at the start of the season, as Assistant Manager and we are delighted that he has accepted the opportunity to become our First Team Manager."

 

[The Terminator]

Will be interesting to see how he does there after his poor reign in charge of ourselves last season, when he had to work with the worst owners to ever grace the football league.

Your previous owner wasn't much cop then?

 

[The Terminator]

Your previous owner wasn't much cop then?

Well considering he:

-Constantly meddled with first team affairs, deploying ten managers in the process in 3 seasons.
-Didn't pay any of the clubs bills towards the end of last season - We was unable to produce a proper matchday programme because of this.
-Refused to pay any players or staff on time from February onwards this year.
-Told our CEO to not return to work from November 2016 onwards
-Sold half of our first team in the January transfer window this year and replaced them with our youth players
-Deliberately sold us to our new owners as late as he could to fuck us over this season.

These are the main factors, he's is the reason we find ourselves where we are today. In short, he's a c***.

So is that a no then?

 

[Farleigh]

But apart from that, what did he do wrong?

 

[Railway Blue]

Sounds like 4 of our previous owners: Barnes, Gutterman, mad yank Terry Smith and 'boxing promoter' Steven Vaughan.

Worst? George reynolds who was at darlington and ken richardson (doncaster) would give him a run for his money

 

[Moss Rose Silkmen]

Jon McCarthy new assistant at Southport

I doubt that's the Christmas present Southport fans would have wanted.

 

[Master D]

More worryingly you'd imagine he's been lined up for the manager's job in the future. But apparently Kevin Davies is STILL in charge there. I've paid no attention to how he's been doing but assumed he'd last 4 games before getting sacked.

 

[Bluandwite]

Pretty poor statement from Southport commenting about our 'severe financial constraints' and a policy imposed on McCarthy of 'moving on his best players' in an attempt to sugar coat their own poor recruitment.

Not sure how we were supposed to fend off Leicester for Hughes either, that provided McCarthy with an extra £100k+ to spend in the summer as well. Apart from Alabi he released the rest after falling out with them.

They really wouldn’t. Termy hasn’t even covered a quarter of the havoc he wreaked. All three of them make Vaughan at Chester look like Steve Gibson, mind.

I doubt that .... you're still alive, Stephen Vaughan killed us stone dead.

Aldershot have turned down an approach from a EFL club for manager Gary Waddock and his assistant.
