They’ve also appointed Billy McKinley his record is below:eek:
Seriously how can this guy get a job with a PL club.I wouldn’t even employ to coach a school team,Absolute farce.


McKinlay was appointed as Watford first-team coach, under head coach Óscar Garcia, on 26 September 2014.[7] McKinlay replaced Garcia a few days later as head coach, after the Spaniard resigned due to suffering from ill health.[8] McKinlay relinquished his role as Northern Ireland's assistant manager after becoming the Watford manager.[9] After just eight days in the job, McKinlay was replaced as Watford head coach by Slaviša Jokanović.[10]McKinlay had taken charge of two matches, a win against Brentford and a draw with Brighton.[10]

On 27 November 2014, McKinlay joined Spanish club Real Sociedad as an assistant coach, working alongside David Moyes.[11] He was sacked, along with Moyes, on 9 November 2015.[12]

On 30 November 2015, McKinlay was appointed as manager of Norwegian Tippeligaen side Stabæk Fotball on a two-year contract.[13] McKinlay resigned as manager on 8 July 2016, after being knocked out of the Europa League by Connah's Quay Nomads.[14]

McKinlay joined Sunderland as a scout, initially under Moyes, in 2016. In October 2017 he was promoted to a temporary first team coaching role by manager Simon Grayson when assistant manager Glynn Snodin became ill.[15] Following Grayson's sacking, McKinlay and Robbie Stockdale were appointed the club's joint caretaker managers in November 2017.[16]

Knocked out of Europa Cup by connahs quay nomads my favourite,Pretty sure that’s a pub :LOL:

Read it properly and he doesn't really have a poor record as such.
Watford - he was appointed coach and then the manager was forced to quit a few days later.
He took charge for 2 games while the board found a replacement - 4 points out of 6.

Likewise not sure there's much to moan about with regards to his time in Norway. The club have never made it past third qualifying round of any European competition. That league, other than the top 2/3 sides is on a par with the Welsh Premier League, which is what Connah's Quay are in. Worth noting that the Norweigian season runs April to November, in terms of matches, he was only in charge for 3 months before he quit.

Sunderland he was a scout, nothing more initially, then Grayson appointed him temporary coach a month ago. Grayson was fired - not McKinlay.

Therefore the only real negative against him is his spell at Real Sociedad with Moyes.

To be honest, I could see Moyes doing okay with West Ham. They've got decent enough players and resources to keep them mid-table in the PL. I'd be surprised if they were relegated under his watch (unfortunately!!!).

I think his failings at other clubs are fairly easy to explain; Man Utd was too big, Sociedad was too Spanish and Sunderland was too poor.

Moyes needs a nice, middle of the road club to succeed at, and he's got that in West Ham.

However, their fans obviously don't see it that way :LOL:

Mark Noble announces international retirement, Southgate completely unperturbed

Mark Noble has announced his retirement from international duty, leaving England manager Gareth Southgate with no selection headache whatsoever.

Sources close to Noble indicate that he was confident of receiving a first England call-up for the match against Brazil on Tuesday, after a spate of injuries to key players had obliged Southgate to name a new-look squad for the latest set of international friendlies.

However, the ruddy-faced, Championship-standard hatchetman’s dreams were left in tatters as he realised that he was, and always had been, absolutely nowhere near the England squad, with Southgate instead announcing an England debut for Crawley Town’s 38-year old veteran midfielder Dannie Bulman.

Fresh from this latest and entirely predictable disappointment, Noble announced his retirement at a hastily-organised press conference, in what appears to have been a desperate plea for relevance in a world that had more or less forgotten that he existed.

The hot-headed plodder read out a short statement in front of a completely indifferent media, reaffirming his desire to ‘concentrate on delivering entirely inconsequential performances at the heart of a flimsy West Ham midfield, as we continue our inexorable descent into the murky depths of the Championship’.

Pressed for his thoughts on the matter, a nonplussed Southgate admitted he had never heard of Noble, adding that he was happy with the depth of England’s talent pool and was keeping tabs on a number of midfield options such as Serge from Kasabian.

Even a scientist of the eminence of Stephen Hawking would be ridiculed if he were to suggest the existence of a parallel universe in which West Ham earn the description "nice, middle of the road club"? Have you not been following this thread?! :):)

"I don't think it's a bad team, a bad squad. But I can't be bothered with any drivel. I'm going to be direct with the players. If they don't like it, then I'm sorry. We've got to make sure we get through to them quickly. If it works, great. If it doesn't, then I'll see the East End of London for seven months, then I'll go elsewhere."

He sounds so totally committed to the cause!

Ha ha he's so stone age!
come on mate, this is a guy who had the revolutionary idea of bringing on David James as a striker, when he had an actual striker sitting on the bench.
You can't teach that, you're born with it.
