Managers this season

Forest have now sacked Dyche, meaning they are looking for their
fourth boss in a season.
Spurs, Man U also without permanent bosses too.
Is it me or this now starting to become the norm!
As for Marinakis, he is gonna be the one sending Forest down.

hi,
you have to wonder what a new manager can do at this point of
the season, especially now the transfer window has shut
[emoji15] surely you have to question the original recruitment
in many of these cases. also, if a manager has failed so
disastrously at one club, why on earth would an owner think it's
likely to be a different story the next time? [emoji54] it seems
vitor pereira is being linked with the Forest vacancy - the same
vitor pereira that was sacked by Wolves earlier this season
[emoji37]
only 13 premier league clubs had the same manager last season
and at least one of those (oliver glasner) is definitely leaving
at the end of this season...
the merry-go-round never seems to stop [emoji30]
regards,
gnr

Its the nature of the beast these days
I wouldn't feel too sorry for them. They all get a nice pay off
and will be back in a job in no time.
Football is no longer a sport, its a business. At least at the
higher levels.

Won’t be long before Marinakis gets on the sideline himself at
this rate!

Valverde has announced he will be leaving Athletic Bilbao in the
summer. Imo opinion that's as good as Andoni Iraola leaving AFCB
to take the role confirmed. The one role every single AFCB fan
has dreaded happening ever since Iraola was appointed, it's home
for him & his dream role. If he's offered the role he will be
gone in a heartbeat. Can't blame him for that or begrudge it in
any way and if it happens as we all suspect then I wish him well
and would love to see him go there and really succeed. I'll be
gutted though! There's been rumours for a few weeks that the guy
who is manager at the Portuguese club owned by our owners was
being groomed as an Iraola replacement but in 1-2 years time -
be interesting to see if he is indeed the heir apparent as
rumoured.

Thanks Gooner. Seeing the name there made me remember it. I
couldn't for the life of me remember the name of the guy or the
club! I could have googled our owners and got a list of the
clubs they own and found out that way but was way too lazy to do
so!!

This will be the ultimate test, can a club really sack a manager
who is on bereavement leave.
If I was a betting man I’d guess they will gently say to Tudor
that if he agrees to stay away they will pay him until the end
of the season.
