Most liked posts in thread: Hughes SACKED

Speaking to someone who knows him yesterday apparently lives in the Wakefield area. got a good payout from Wigan so in no hurry to find employment he is sick of moving his kids from school to school. So it would be ideal for him. Wether he is ideal for us remains to be seen, but he does seem to command respect

 

Why would that be the case? Stop acting like a loser.

If we want to get promoted we need the best person for the job.

Sure Wellens would want to gone back up north for example.

 

Why you bothered about style of football instead of promotion. We are not in the an established PL club. We are a failing football club.

 

The kind of football that run rings round us and the best team we had played last time we met at VP

 

Worked for Salford didn't it. All I remember vividly about Watt's game is the huge number of free kicks he gave away on the edge of our box.

 

Would he ? Do you have any idea what the terms of his contract are at Leyton Orient, or what his personal circumstances are. Just because he was born in Manchester doesn't mean that he has a great urge to move back up north. He might love it in London, his wife might be a Londoner, his kids might well be settled in and doing very well at school. He could be living in a mansion paid for by the club.

Evans is a Scot, just because he once worked in Leeds doesn't mean he want to come back. He could be much more interested in a job north of the border. Evans doesn't want to manage this club, he's just used us to get his name in the frame to secure himself a job elsewhere.

Why would he want to come here when as soon as he started a losing run he was faced with chants like "you're just a fat Jimmy Savill" ?

And then let's talk about compensation. We've sacked so many managers recently how can we even start to think about paying that ? If Wellens has two years left on his contract, and is earning £200k per annum that could be pushing half a million, and the potential of an EFL fine for poaching. For all you know he could have a long term contract.

Not seeking to take another club's manager, at this level anyway, is by no means a sign of having a losing mentality. It's just plain old business sense.

If the manager of your best car wash gaff walked, I'd put money on it that you wouldn't risk litigation by poaching the manager of one down the road.

 

If you're sick of moving your kids from school to school don't go into football management. Worst job security I can think of.

 

So out of the nine clubs expected, by the their owners/fans to be getting promotion, with Alexander going at MK Dons, three have already sacked their managers.

The ten I mean are MK Dons, Stockport, us, Salford, Mansfield, Swindon, Gillingham, Wrexham and Notts County

Out of those who fail to go up, I'd expect only Williams to survive at Notts County.

Tough gig. L2 is!!

 

I think Clough would get a bit more time at Mansfield. He signed a new long term contract in the summer.

 

Clough is like teflon at Mansfield

 

I thought it was just a years extension? Their owner was on the TV the other day and when asked about their unbeaten starts - said he expected Top 3.

 

Spot on. He was in the stand at VP I remember?

 

I've always liked him and love his post match interviews. I think their horrendous injury list last season, saved him though and yes this is his last chance.

 

Plenty of time for Mansfield to bottle it. They’re been a strong performing side on xG for years so promotion would be fully deserved and overdue, but they always find a way to fail.

thanks for Cooky though, Stags ha ha

 

Fan pressure would have had him out the door here
