If i was a Baggies fan id be very worried with the names getting linked with them

And should SB leave us, after he has took the Team as far as he can, we would sadly be getting linked with the same names
 
I don't know what Malky Mackay has done to deserve another shot to be honest.
 
Top five in the betting are Malky Mackay, Chris Hughton, Brian McDermott, Tim Sherwood and Derek McInnes.

Not sure how Sherwood would perform, he's done an alright job at Spurs but they have good players & by all accounts not the best performances. Don't see McD as anything more than a name, certainly not a PL manager after doing nothing at Leeds. McInnes, same, can't see any Scottish manager coming down &'having success in the PL these days. Hughton, don't see him as a popular choice, but may be a cheap option. Mackay is probably the best out of that bunch. I also don't see Di Matteo going back there after the way they treated him. Di Canio :laugh:

He was the victim that suffered at that hands of a mad despot ruining an old club of its traditions of mediocrity.

He wasn't the person who spent more than he was meant to, on ****e, then proceeded to bite the hand that was feeding him. Oh no. It was all Mr Tan's fault. MM is a saint and deserves another chance to prove his brilliance. FACT.
 
Didn't he piss away the transfer kitty?

He spent a lot but managers don't pick transfer fees they pick players, daft **** owners fail to say no when someone's too expensive and then blame the manager for overspending.

As above. Like in any other job, managers don't have the power to spend money. They can tell chief execs and owners who to sign and if the daft buggers want to go and spend £8m on someone rather than saying "Actually Malky he's a bit above our budget." Then that's their fault. Football owners are almost all mental ****s now who just sack managers willy nilly for consecutive defeats and people defend it as if these people getting sacked are just figures rather than human beings who are vbeing made unemployed at the whim of some foreignor who doesn't have a clue. He succeded in his job and got sacked for it ffs.
 
By the same logic Tan used for sacking Mackay. We should have sacked Brown halfway through our first PL season while we were top half. After all he'd succeeded by every measure, but spent too much in doing so.

That's being way too extreme, the end of March was about right. <ok>
 
If SB was offered the Mags job and he took it I'd look at Steve Clarke as a replacement...he had some shocking luck in the games before he got the sack but still got the same amount of points as Pepe Mel. He got WBA 8th in 2012/13 season n all...granted he had Lukaku in the side.

That'd be less comparable, because we were actually performing quite badly by then (although still in a safe league position if I recall correctly).

I think you're a long way from this.

Managers pick the players. Chief exec goes to do deal, cones back and says to manager - deal accepted but it'll cost this.... Do you want to still go ahead as it'll be x% of your budget.

Therefore all issues are down to the manager. Mackey did well in getting them up but failed by a large margin in the Prem

No he didn't fail by a large margin at all. They were outside the relegation zone. Managers should not, and do not at most clubs, make the financial decisions. I've no idea about Cardiff's specific situation but the situation you just described is simply wrong. Might be the case on Football Manager though.
