The Manager Sack Race/Merry-go-Round

[6ft Kerplunk]

Well what a surprise to see Whelan on SSN last night. Sticking the boot into Coyle saying he told him he didn't agree with his team selection and tactics and wanted him to resign. If you don't want him there just sack him you belmont and if you're so keen on team selection and tactics manage the team yourself.

[YateleyRoyal]

Didn't they sign something like 14 players though? - surely it takes time to bed/blend?

Palace did. I don't recall Wigan signing that many. There's going to be a fire sale at Palace next summer too. Anyone for another year older, another injury hit season further on Kebe next July?

Marc Albrighton
Nick Powell
Ryan Shotton
James McClean
Leon Barnett
Juan Carlos García
Grant Holt
Marc-Antoine Fortuné
Scott Carson
James Perch
Thomas Rogne
Chris McCann
Stephen Crainey
Mauro Boselli

Boselli was a loan return - does that really count?

[TBM]

Probably not, but thats still 13 new signings to bed in....

The Sheff Weds job is surely still a fairly attractive one for anyone looking to make a name for themselves in football management. Tough financial situation but there's absolutely bags of potential for someone who could lift them and get them challenging in the Champ.

Wouldn't surprise me if Parky wasn't looked at by a Championship club soon although it could be tough tempting him away from Bradford as things are.

Warnock was practically begging for it on TalkSport yesterday morning.

that'll please the Utd lot

[southbank1871]

Not sure Wednesday fans would be too please either.

Honestly thought that was a joke until googling it.

Mental.

[Pepe the Horseman]

It would've been a pretty good joke tbf.

[YateleyRoyal]

I remember Warnock saying Palace would be his last job. Then he rocked up at QPR. And then Leeds. LOL.

Nice to see that pcunt John Gregory back though.

[Ouroboros]

It would've been a pretty good joke tbf.

Most jokes in Sheffield are variations on a "imagine if Warnock managed Wednesday" theme.

[Barry the bird boggler]

Owen Coyle to Wednesday perhaps....

[Ouroboros]

I don't get it.

Is there a story behind John Gregory moving to Israel to manage?

[dizzynewheights]

Coz hes a crook ennit

Wasn't it him that come out with "you know you've been relagated when you look at the fixtures and the first game is against Reading" when at Derby

Or some such slight anyway

Yep. You know when your managerial career has gone down the shitter when the only job you can smarm your way in to is Crawley Town.

Is there a story behind John Gregory moving to Israel to manage?

From Wiki

On 8 December 2009, Gregory was appointed the manager of Israeli club Maccabi Ahi Nazareth. He led them to relegation.

On 18 May 2010 Gregory signed a 3-year contract with Israeli Premier League Club F.C. Ashdod. He resigned from Ashdod on 18 April 2011, with the club facing the possibility of relegation.

On 13 June 2011, Gregory was appointed the manager of Kazakh club FC Kairat from Almaty, Kazakhstan. Kairat survived relegation at the end of the 2011 season to the second tier of Kazakhstan football.

Gregory had his contract as manager of FC Kairat terminated in December 2011, and in April 2012 was paid $120,000 in compensation.

On 3 December 2013 Gregory was named as the manager of Crawley Town, replacing previous manager Richie Barker.

[Pepe the Horseman]

Crawley just five points off the relegation zone. 13/2 for them to go down looks great value.

Wigan set to appoint Uwe Rosler as manager
