That’s the state of football these days - managers don’t get much time , only takes c couple of defeats in a short period and the fans are demanding a change , I’m not sure when it started with managers being sacked so often but some clubs will never get stable with demands to sack the manager anytime there is a sticky patch

Sacking a manager because they are only third is a joke - looking at his record it’s very good at Sunderland and won them a trophy last year.

A revolving door of managers very rarely provides success - Chelsea are the only club who get some sort of success

Perhaps it is time that managers were included in the transfer windows.

Sounds fine unless your team lose the first 10 games of the season 5-0. I know that is extreme but you get the point. If it isn't working, why continue with the same manager who is unable to resolve the problem?

It wouldn't work anyway. Clubs can still sign free agents outside of the windows, ergo, they'd be able to appoint any manager who was unemployed anyway.

I guess the same way you have to continue with the same players who are losing 5-0 every week. Would at least mean greater consequence for a poor managerial appointment
 
So am I reading the reports right, Aubameyang has just pitched up in Barcelona looking to have a medical before any sort of loan deal has actually been agreed with Arsenal.
 
Dele Alli is Everton-bound. I think he needs a decent haircut before he'll start playing well again. It genuinely can't help having massive dreadlocks flopping around your face can it? Anyway, it's a shame he didn't kick on after such a good start with us, but it'll be interesting to see how he does next.

Only if you sell him to us. We are maxed out on UK loans. How is Mr Levy feeling right out? Keen to sell or off to nail another hard deal. If it's the latter I suspect he will stay with you until June.

Maybe he thinks he'll lose his strength if he cuts his locks, A bit like Samson.

You can shove a player on the bench if they are out of form, in the reserves, loan them out. You can't really do that with a manager. Sometimes it is a wrong appointment, sometimes it is just a bad fit, sometimes they are just not up to it or circumstances change. It is not always the fault of the club. Hell, managers don't mind. Have you seen the pay offs they get? No tears for managers.

When he broke through and was at his best for us he looked like he was going to have a great career ahead of him, but when he started to have business distractions outside football his form gradually declined which I think might have been the catalyst for him. I don’t think he has the determination to put the work in to be top player again.

It’s a shame as I don’t doubt he had the ability to play at the top level but he never fulfilled his potential.

Yeah, it was strange, as if he made it too quickly and easily and lost all the hunger and drive that got him there to begin with.
