FUSA 2019-20 Manager Sacking Pool

Well, only scum can win a trophy and, in effect, sack the boss, who didn’t want to stay anyway. On a personal note, I hope Signor Sarri elevates his touchline sartorial game. Ick.

 

Others may have, but I did not see this one coming. Don’t think Geordies will be too crazy about it.

Weird time to do it, but Forest have sacked Martin O'Neill after a whopping five months.

Clearly missed this because it happened on July 4, but our neighbors to the north east hired Frank Lampard!?

He, who has one season of senior management experience and like two(?) years of coaching licensing under his belt?

 

C'mon now, Tim. Experience is WAY overrated...

Lost in the Int’l break

 

Took a peek at Watford 's schedule. Tough road ahead for them regardless of who is in charge.

 

Pretty sure the Books have stopped taking bets on Pochettino getting the sack after that 7-2 mass destruction at home to Bayern. Tottenham fans have always thought more of themselves then their real results, and a top notch gaffer is on thin ice.

 

There's one Don.

So, what is the over/under on The Not So Special One’s length of tenure in North London?

 

I say he gets to the end of this season and starts next season but doesn't finish. The good news about this job though is that he won't have to live in a hotel like he did in Manchester.

 

Tuned in to Charlton vs. Cardiff this a.m. expecting to see craggy, old Neil Warnock.
Except I didn’t.

Unai Emery is shown the door at Arsenal. I didn't realize how bad things had gotten until I read this article. No wins in seven matches - ugly

No big surprise when you are sitting rock bottom of the table. Watford will now be on their 11th manager since 2013 even though they’ve managed to stay up 5 straight seasons.

 

Staying up 5 straight seasons is, under their circumstances, a significant accomplishment.

When Watford fires a manager, do they play Goodbye Yellow Brick Road or something like that?

 

He has a 1.5/2 season half life before things get toxic, so you may be right. Regardless he's not at Tottenham by this time in 2021.

 

Tuned into Everton-Scum at HT this morning, only to see no Marco Silva on the touchline. Here’s why, and again, no surprise. The score presently IS a surprise.
