New manager USUALLY means a change in fortunes, doesn't it?

Discussion in 'Bulletin Board ARCHIVE' started by Gloucester_Red, Nov 21, 2006.

  1. For other clubs, usually, but not necessarily for ours. I'm shocked by this news but not surprised. The friction in the club has been overhwhelming (or so it seems to us outsiders) so SOMETHING had to give. How many chairmen sack themselves in these situations? At a guess.....none! I'm genuinely sorry that the manager has gone but let's not get too sentimental about all this. It's only football for heaven's sake - players and managers come, players and managers go. Loyalty doesn't come into it. If you get a better offer, you go. If you are rubbish at your job, you go. That's just the way it is and the glory that was last May doesn't mean a damn thing on a cold November's afternoon.
    So, who next then for the firing line? Somebody who can string three wins together would be nice but with this set of players he is going to have his work cut out. We can only hope somebody is lined up. On the other hand, didn't some big club down the road do quite well recently with their Academy manager in charge for a while? I forget the name, play in blue I think......:)

  5. I said USUALLY, not ALWAYS

    Doesn't always work, I know, but more often than not there is an immediate lift. Look at us at Peterborough the week Hart left. Team played brilliantly but then again we had a decent centre forward of course. What a costly mistake that might, letting Chopra go to Cardiff
