Poste traumatic stress - managerial comings and goings 2023-24

[elguapo4]

There's a lot of column inches being written about Stephen Kenny returning to Bohemians. I can't see it happening myself, for a start I doubt if we could afford his wages , for second, he would see it as a step backwards.

[Duncan Gardner]

Where can Kenny go forward to?

Where can Kenny go forward to?

I don't know, I'm looking through his eyes. Kenny is an extremely egotistical man, even by the standards of football managers.

[Duncan Gardner]

Answering my own question his next job will be in LOI

[George C.]

Is he? Met him a couple of times.

Seems far too 'nice', as in not ruthless enough, to be any great manager..

Though the Ma(!) is a fan.

[elguapo4]

He's obviously mellowed in the 20 years since I knew him , I never took to him at all.

Colin has left Aberdeen after leading them to the Scottish Cup Semi-Final. A bit strange, and certainly sudden. Maybe Sharon has finally had enough?

No wins in the league, took them from possibly being able to chase a top six place to the middle of the relegation mire in just a few short weeks.

He was a disasterous appointment. Won two games, both of which were home cup ties, one of which was against Bonnyrigg Rose.

Everything about his behaviour speaks to a man who fancied a wee jolly up to Scotland thinking it would be easy, and found out it isn't. I'd imagine he's walked to protect his ego.

Anyone who heard his recent self justifying rant would not peg him as nice.

Cheers. He's been taking short appointments for some time, but normally they haven't been that catastrophic. Finally feels like the end of the road, but we've thought that in the past!

I like that stat, as quoted in the Howl, that there have been more Watford managers since 2019 than Dalai Lamas since 1589.

Yeah, it felt a bit wrong to me, a bit chasing the latest craze. It hasn't done Worthing any good either. They've now lost four of their last five games (two of which were his last two). If they'd won those four games they'd only be two points behind Yeovil (who've slipped themselves a bit recently), and while that sounds improbable three of those four defeats were at home (two against teams in the bottom half of the table). They're still in the play-off places, but the gap has disappeared and a few of the teams below them have got games in hand. There are six play-off places the same, but it would be very bad for the club to miss out. They've already started renovation work on the ground, although that needed to be done anyway.

Has there ever been a managerial annulment and quick return of this type before? Nothing springs immediately to mind, but I am famously forgetful.

Try to listen to the last couple of minutes of his post-match interview from yesterday without welling up yourself. Ah man I desperately want this to work out for him (and us!).

[Rogin the Armchair fan]

BBC North West Tonight rather excited at the idea that Gareth Southgate won't be England manager at the next World Cup, but may be very close to their studios.

[Johnny Velvet]

Bit of a surprise, that.

[ursus arctos]

Not in the slightest to anyone following German football

[Johnny Velvet]

That ain't me, unfortunately.

[Jimski]

Liam Manning heading to Bristol City after what feels like a ridiculously short spell at Oxford. Leaves a bit of a bitter taste tbh. It was looking promising, but I suspect that's our season done now .

How right I was.

[Lang Spoon]

Bit of a surprise, that.

Has anyone checked on Toby?

[tee rex]

Nice ambiguity in the BBC headline. Alonso: "My job is not over here".

So where is it?

Plymouth Argyle Sack Ian Foster

A huge light giving a wanker sign has just lit up the sky above Colin's Cornwall home.

An interesting one at Boreham Wood, with it being announced Luke Garrard will leave the club at the end of the season. It's interesting in the sense that, per the chairman's gushing statement, it's been prompted by their recent very poor run, which is likely to see them relegated from the National League, but they're not rolling the dice immediately and seeing if someone else can get a bit of a bounce to potentially keep them up. I imagine that's a sign that they think the outcome is inevitable, and there's no point starting the new incumbant with a negative experience, which does make some sense.

Garrard must be one of the longest-serving managers at a pro club in England having been there for the best part of a decade, taking charge of over 400 matches (which I think is about the number of managers Watford have had in the same period).

[Patrick Thistle]

He's been rudely* snubbed by the club, apparently

* or wisely

[Toby Gymshorts]

Has anyone checked on Toby?

I don't want to talk about it.

[Gangster Octopus]

So a 4-0 defeat to fellow relegation strugglers Borehamwood does for David Noble at Wealdstone.

According to Romanian football media (which is not the world's most reliable source), Amorim has signed to manage Liverpool
