Looking like it’s going to be Zidane. Not sure on that one we really need someone with championship experience.
Maybe Acun trying to pick the team and Rosenior refusing to bend? I'm thinking of Pandur for Allsop for starters and Ohio, both of whom Acun was blowing the trumpet for at the Q@A? It was a knee jerk sacking as big a calamity as Don Robinson sacking Brian Horton. It sent a huge 'dont-touch-with-a-bargepole' message to the rest of football too.
We made a profit on Bruce's signings as a whole. If every manager did that we'd be in a great position and a PL side.
We did make a profit after he'd left and we sold them all but like it or not there was a time when the club were £80m in the red. For the record I would never have sacked Bruce, but he wanted to be away the minute Ehab told him to leave the negotiations to him but still wanted Bruce to identify which players he wanted.
There is no such message these days. Managers need to earn a living. The odd one would be choosy but if a job is available managers will apply. I saw the names that applied for AFC Wimbledon when I was down there and it was mental. League 2 and there were managers that had recently managed in FA Cup finals and played in the Premier league applying. Money was way out of Wimbledons league but they sent an expression of interest on the hope some nutter would pay it. I'm sure Acun has had a very long list of managers wanting this job. Not saying they will be right but if you're gonna get paid and then paid off why wouldn't you take it?
Theres probably only 2 maybe 3 managers in the championship currently who dont need to make a living And theyre from the 'newer' tier of insanely highly paid footballers
Do you guys really believe in that? Zidane is waiting for French NT, nothing else, he rejected USA NT. You guys need a lesson on Acun bulshitting, I hope lesson is not delivered with relegation.
Exactly. Add into that the likes of Paul Ince and Alan Pardew who I'm certain would have applied it soon adds up to 30. Robins clearly wanted the job and either he or his agent thought Acun was a desperado so tried a different tactic. Same way Emma Hayes agent told the sun she was the front runner for the Wimbledon job despite not applying or being asked to apply. It's their way of alerting other clubs that might be wanting a manager change to potentially make a move.
You are describing any applicant who isn't in work, like Walter was. Of course someone who is out of work and football would throw their hat in the ring and apply because they have nothing to lose. My point was the way Acun sacked Rosenior sent the wrong message out to anyone in football who was already at a club, why would they want to leave one club to join one where the manager sacks you for finishing 7th?
Honestly.....the football world doesn't really care bar giving pundits something to talk about. It certainly wouldn't stop managers coming to us. Nearly all owners these days are reactive and very short term. Managers know full well they'll get a pay off or successful and move on. The fact Acun sacked LR won't make a shred of difference
Championship football manager salary is incredible No one is choosing not to come to a club becasue someone was sacked for finishing 7th Youre one very succesful season from the prem Or an insane payout for being sacked
