The Managerial Merry-go-round

[RuskyM]

That doesn't make anyone happy - either kick him out now or tell the players to put up with it, surely.

Klopp would be ideal for them but not sure he goes straight in to a job or whether he stays "loyal" to Dortmund.

Nah, I would prefer Mourinho or Conte.

Seems an odd decision, wonder what their "new direction" will be - presumably pinching Alonso from Leverkusen?

5 consecutive years Kane has played in a squad where the manager was sacked mid-season.

It's strange to blame Kane for that.



It's obviously Dier's fault.

Does he get a trophy for that?

The ideal scenario is Alonso goes to Bayern and Liverpool resorting to looking to plan B (whoever that is).

.....that's after Alonso wins the league for Leverkusen mind.

Or Alonso stays where he is and goes for Champions League.

Nah, I would prefer Mourinho or Conte.

Maybe they could share the role, like when Roy Evans and Gerard Houlier were both Liverpool manager at the same time.

Well, yes but the viewpoint for me is reducing Liverpool's best chance of succession planning first and foremost.

Won't happen IMO. I think Liverpool are a more attractive proposition than Bayern right now. Far less of a soap opera.

I would worry Ange is plan b.

My guess would be Alonso to Liverpool, and maybe Flick back to Bayern for a year while they wait to get Klopp the following year.

Spain boss De La Fuente extended until '26 WC

Spain head coach Luis de la Fuente will continue in charge of the national team through 2026, the country's football federation (RFEF) announced on Thursday.

I'm curious as to why any international side ever extends a coach's contract in the lead up to a major tournament. You can argue that it preaches stabilty and takes some pressure off the performance in the upcoming tournament but this is Spain, they have to be aiming to win it regardless. So what good does it do?

All it does is that it makes it more expensive for them to relieve him if things go completely south.

common Liverpool... give Gerrard a chance.

Jon Dahl Tomasson has left Blackburn to take the Sweden job. He's Sweden's first ever foreign manager.

John Eustace, who was harsly sacked by Birmingham when they went for Rooney, takes over.

Strange not to see Hodgson in the dugout for Palace, but pleased to see that he's enjoying himself away from the game.

 

[Marty]

John Coleman has been in charge of Accie for 23 years over two spells, with a two year interlude. That's longevity!

 

[Marty]

Tom Cleverly being named interim manager makes me feel insanely old.

Didn't know where to put this - so it's here.
Frank Lampard on a shortlist for Canada men's team!
Why? WTF has he done to be offered an international job? I don't get him being in the frame at all- The Canadian FA need to look in their mirrors if they offer him the job.
