Managerial Merry-Go-Round

So I came across this article on the BBC.

 

http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/32957232

 

Arsene Wenger aside (and MK Dons by a month), you have to go down to League 2 before you even find a manager who has been in the job for over 5 years.

 

Including those two, there are only SIX managers who have held their jobs since before 2010.

 

Shocking really.

    He's only on a 12 month rolling contract isn't he? Let's say he's on £10k a week tops then that's £500k a year   A buy out clause of £500k would seem both plausible and fair to me. It's basically pay

  • Imagine how much phlegm that caused.

  • How many on here would have kept their season tickets if blame it on the Doogie was still here?   I'm not being disloyal but there would of been no way every game would of been a sell out and with w

Shit, the only good thing about the club at the moment. Those three tossers and their sex tape want their balls cutting off

We owe them a ginger, 2m should sweeten the blow.

NL has a gentlemans agreement with Garty that if a prem club come in for him we will get 500 grand compo

 

Fatside out

Sounds like a load of made up bollocks to me.....

If Lennon did go, Redfearn & Thompson (Steve) would be fine by me. Hope it doesn't come to that just yet, would like at least 1 full season with Lennon

Whoah ! No big names like those will be sought

We can accuse Gartside  of many things but calling him a gentleman is not one of them.

Who comes in if Lenny goes?

 

Suppose names mentioned will include Nigel Pearson, Gus Poyet, Paul Lambert.

And they'd be attracted to a struggling Champ club being led on a downward spiral ? Don't see it myself.

 

Lg1, Lg2, Conference as was ........ That's our recruitment strategy; thinking ahead.

No different than last time we advertised. Only with a clean start and a preseason.

I think he'll go to Leicester

The pieces all fit I think he's off.

Much depends on how much truth there is in these reports and if this mythical takeover is real, close or non-existent.

 

I still think they're missing a chance if they go for Lennon above a proven European manager. He looked far from Prem class at times last season. Realistically he needs to prove himself here then move on and is a massive risk for them.

 

But if he wants to go he will go. And we will have plenty of applicants for the job.

6/4 in places now best price 3/1at bet 365.

Just been reading a Leicester forum, they're not exactly keen on the idea....

Not concerned. Foreign owners will want a big name to grow their brand overseas, not a fans favourite ex player who isn't well known outside of the UK and is currently managing a bottom half championship club.

A buy out clause of £500k would seem both plausible and fair to me. It's basically paying up the remainder of the contract

 

As we said earlier not many of us believed that PG managed to secure Lennon, if he had to agree to a buy out should a prem team come in then well done Gartside on getting the deal done

 

It's a testiment to him that we don't want him to go and a Prem team wants him to be manager

There's no smoke without fire.

 

Someone somewhere is lumping on this.

 

He's offski.

fcuk me, the drama queens are out

this board wouldn't be the same without it

Bloody hell - just had a look at the Leicester board and I'm surprised how much dissent there is with the possibility of Lennon coming in.

 

Thought they'd be in Coyle to Boltonesque throes of rapture.

They know the score. Got lucky last year staying up, need someone coming in to kick on. Someone with experience and a bit of status.

 

Not a relatively inexperienced boss who flirted with relegation from the Championship for the latter part of last season.

Megson then?

Bookies' favourites to go down.

Manager favourite for Premier League job.

Fucking bollocks.

I know a few Leicester fans, all of whom are affiliated to the blue side of Glasgow. They would oppose a move for Lennon in the same way some of our fans did. Forum opinion, however, means fuck all when it come to owning a football club and deciding who is the best man for the job.

 

Lennon would be daft not to go if Leicester come for him.

This is what this site is all about isn't it

 

Anyhow

 

If he stays or goes i couldn't give a fuck the club will survive and i will still be there on the 1st day of the season

Megson then?

Religious intolerance from people who never set foot in a church. Always a good one.

 

But yeah, if he gets asked he'll go. Don't understand the logic if he does. At least Coyle was doing alright in the Prem when we got him. Even if it was a smokescreen.
