Have I forgotten anyone?

Is there something to this or are we just wearing tin foil hats?

 

[Offside]

feck me. I'm in disbelief that it's happened again. This goes back so many years though. I remember a relegation bound West Ham team beating us because they'd just binned Pardew.

 

[The White Pele]

I’m not sure Potter will make it to April

If you’re going for a new manager bounce, clubs are probably better off waiting until they play an easier opponent than us. It’s an annoying coincidence.

 

[horsechoker]

Oh yeah you would say that reptile man

 

[RyRy11]

I believe the line of thinking is that you may as well introduce a new manager or caretaker when you haven't got much chance of winning anyway, it's almost like a no lose situation. Just so happens we are the club that it falls upon the most.

 

[Nick7]

oh for feck sake

 

[Scandi Red]

I'm not clicking on all those links, but are you telling me that 4 PL managers have gotten sacked right before playing us this season alone?! What are the odds of that?!

 

[Chairman Steve]

It’ll be for an FA Cup game though which will be like 3 days later. Any potential new manager isn’t going to do shit in that time and it‘s at home.

We’re just quite unlucky this season in this respect. I’ve always wondered whether rules should be implemented so that managerial changes are tied to the constraints of player transfer windows, instead of any time like it is now. There are times I feel like it’s abused especially now that you can see a manager can make all the difference to a team. Teams should own their decisions instead of cheat death potentially.

Doesn't matter he just needs to pashun the lads so they play like they're fighting for their lives

I've seen in another thread that Spurs are considering Stellini's future

There's only one man for the job.

I think he would actually lift the team just enough to beat us on Thursday

But, he'd then go and buy a 38 year old Niko Kranjčar.

You win some, you lose some.

The loss would be beating us. They want it as toxic as possible for Levy.

Can a win be a loss?

 

[Big Ben Foster]

Who takes over when the caretaker gets sacked? Some random coach? Levy?

 

[LawCharltonBest]

Watch Pochettino get the Chelsea job just before they play United too.

 

[Aretak]

He'd be an upgrade on Hojbjerg.

 

[Mike Smalling]

They wouldn't do that to Fat Frank would they?

He was on TS saying he would be open to doing it as well

 

[Oranges038]

That bank account he didn't know his dog had must be running low.

 

[HookedOnAPhelan]

They just sacked him of course

of course they do it before they play us

 

[Utd heap]

It's not exactly Emery coming in at a rejuvenated villa is it. Ryan Mason and no coaching staff...

TBF, we thought the same before facing Leeds at home...

 

[Utd heap]

That was a grudge match - always potentially tricky regardless of managerial situation. But I take your point.

 

[Redlyn]

This must be some sort of record.

 

[SuperiorXI]

They've done it again they do it every time. They've done it again, those fecking little bastards.

 

[Big Andy]

Imagine being an interim manager and being so shite that you get potted

Wait is the entire training staff gone? Who can they bring in? Sherwood?

Another manager has been sacked before playing United and you're laughing?

Some who fit this category then go on Sky every week talking about how shite some managers are

he’s a government plant.

 

[Woodzy]

The Sevilla manager was fairly new too, right?

 

[Sassy Colin]

Conspiracy!

 

[Fully Fledged]

Yes.

 

[Andycoleno9]

Sevilla change hurt us the most

 

[rimaldo]

Sevilla change hurt us the most

it was still really brave of us to open ourselves up enough to get hurt.

It's not paranoia. It's actually happening, in reality.
