QotW: The Sack Race

[Sir Didier Drogba]

Who will be the first EPL manager to be sacked (or walk away) this season?

 

[Pogba4Now]

Moyes or Bilic. Team Moyes is currently bottom of the league with 1 point and Team Bilic should be doing better with the players they have (Payet, Zaza, Lanzini, Antonio).

I think maybe Hughes or Pulis. Didn't want to go with the obvious answers.

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

So, Guidolin won.

Let's talk about Bob Bradley.

I think it's a great call - though I do wonder if Swansea is the best fit. Would love to see if American coaching methods can work in the EPL. British (particularly Welsh) pundits are being ****s about it but I fully support it.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

I think it's worth taking the chance. You don't succeed in the Premier League by just doing what everyone else is doing and hiring Terry Venables for the 20th time or whatever. You have to find inefficiencies in the market, and whether or not Bradley will be successful, the British press shows that this is a big inefficiency.

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

You should have heard Chris Sutton and Robbie Savage on the Monday night club it was the worst of everything we both hate about British meat headed former player pundits

Well, they wanted Giggs. Bradley has managed over 500 games, Giggs I think 4?

Not many fans of Swansea wanted Giggs or Bradley. Will have to see if its a good move. We have lost our identity over the past few seasons (Monk finished it off). So we are all hoping someone can put that right and stop the team in-fighting.

That's so true. I've gone off of Swansea big time because of the loss of identity and just merely comfortable to survive. Hope you get it back.

OH MY GOD

Derby! Hey, who is that manager that got sacked when Southampton appointed Pochetino? I've never read him being mentioned ever again after that.

I think it was Nigel Atkins. No idea where he went.
