Wolves and Blackburn could both have back-to-back relegations, and largely due to sacking managers. Blackburn would still be a Premier League club if they didn't sack 'Big Sam' (and further sackings have made things even worse). Wolves could well have stayed up with Mick, but even if they went down, I highly doubt they would be anywhere near fighting relegation.
This is really a joke, well at least he last longer than one of their chicken which live for about 39 days. Thank God we have the Allams, and not these bunch of cowboys owning the club.
That lot have turned a once proud club into an absolute laughing stock. I just feel deeply saddened for the fans, or whats left of them. What the hell are these people doing running a professional football club.
Apart from when Jack Walker arrived they had spent many years as a lower mid sized team. They are simply getting back to their true level. The hounding out of kean just demonsrated that their glory hunting fans were just that. Expect 8-10,000 crowds at Ewoods unless they can turn it around very quickly I would sooner be their manager than one of their chickens. Remember the next time you order chicken and it does not stipulate FREE RANGE it will have been raised in a hell hole-buon appetito!
Kean was a talentless jock gobshite and had the second worst managerial record at Blackburn after Paul Ince(who had one of the worst records ever in the Premier League), he should have been sacked well before he was, but what they've done since has been nothing short of bizarre(sacking Allardyce was their biggest mistake). Still, it's all sorted now, the new management team is in place... https://twitter.com/Masters_JamesD/status/313994753794523136/photo/1
I agree that he's a bit of a dick but he had an impossible job the way the fans turned on him because they didn't like that Big Sam was sacked. I still maintain it was a **** club punching above its weight. The squad that Allardyce had was poor and it got even worse in the last year or so when Kean was there up until they inevitably got relegated. The failure of the succeeding two managers is probably more down to the total joke the club has become than anything else but I think it all comes down to this stupid history thing again. Like Leeds and Forest, they're for some reason expected to be in the PL just because they won it 20 years ago. Expectation there is just way out of control. Weren't they not far off the play-offs only a few weeks ago when we played them?
They've spent more money on transfers than anyone else in this league, they have the biggest wage bill in this league, yet they're ****. It's hard to have much sympathy, as it's all self inflicted by a bunch of clueless Indian chicken farmers.
I meant before relegation. Their squad now is obviously quite good. That's why I suspect their problems are down to the interference of the owners and the difficulty of managing such an outfit.
Speaking of 39 days. Have you seen what's been going on at Telford? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21739724
I know, it always amazes me that he gets these jobs in the first place, he has a <25% win percentage as a manager.
You may say hes a poor manager but I will tell you this. He worked miracles at Portsmouth under severe pressure when the whole staff was not being paid, a transfer embargo nearly all season, and not knowing from day to day whether he could pick a side or whether the club would still be there each day. Try working in those conditions, but he did and didn't do a bad job. Neither did he do a bad job at Blackpool when the whole place was in turmoil after the Westoe walked out on them. He had to pick up the pieces and that would have been a difficult job for anyone.
I do agree Kean is a prick with questionable managerial skills but the facts speak volumes - werent they 2nd and had lost something like once this season under him? We will obviously never know but I'd have bet my mortgage they'd have made the play-offs under him this season at the very least. Might not have been seen as good enough in August but Blackburn fans would swipe your arm off for that now. And Allardyce is a ****.
That is weird, maybe Hyde went to the same school as Rio, says one day one thing only to change his mind the next day.
Actually, even most "free range" chickens live in hell holes. Their pens only have to agree to the rule of: kept with a fence that restricts their movements very little. This isn't as large as you would imagine. They don't even have to be outdoors.
