The Manager Sack Race/Merry-go-Round

Bruce: “I think it might be my last job. It has been very, very tough. To never really be wanted, to feel that people wanted me to fail & saying I would fail, that I was useless, a fat waste of space, a tactically inept cabbage head”

I genuinely thought you'd made this up.....

He's right. Newcastle fans are the absolute pinnacle of twatitude - all they wanted was him to fail. I hate Newcastle but I loved it every time they won under him as it would annoy the fat cry babies.

Got a 8 mill pay off. Seems like a good gig to me. I could take being called a fat cabbage head for two years if I were to be paid 8 mill at the end of it.

[Winston Biscuit]

Agree on the Bruce sympathy thing. Though until about 2 weeks ago when he spoke out about the abuse he has received and how it affects him and his family, no one gave a sh*t.

I'd rather not be and still get the £8M.

LOLZ you do realise the irony of you, of all people, getting on a high horse about people name-calling

Take that back. I have never called you a fat cabbage head. Ever.

Take that back. I have never called you a fat cabbage head. Yet.

I'm mild mannered leon! The world is my friend.

When Dier scored that own goal on Sunday to make it 2-3, I actually sensed the Newcastle fans were a bit disappointed at the prospect of nicking a draw

Premier League record
P477 W133 D132 L212 Points: 531 PPG: 1.11 Win ratio: 27.9%

37.6% win ratio over 1000 games isn't bad by any means.

Half his career (477 games) spent in the bottom half of the Prem with a 27.9% win rate. Averaging that record over a season of 38 games, he'd have ended up with 10.6 wins, 10.5 draws and 16.9 losses, or rounded 11-10-17, so 43 points per season in the Prem.

His non-Prem record is actually pretty good:
P523 W243 D123 L157 Win Ratio: 46.4% (obvs this includes cup matches)

[URZZZZ]

I'm hoping DD was joking.

I am not. He deserves more respect.

7 wins in 38 games. 0 in 9 this season. He deserved nothing but the sack.

Tbf Saint Maximin and Wilson aside, their squad is one of the weaker ones in the league, very little else there

Was dealt with a poor hand, but didn’t help himself, the £40 million signing of Joelinton really counts against him too and given the consistent backlash against him, there really was only one outcome

[URZZZZ]

Surely time up for Adkins - started really poorly this season, lot of fans calling for his head after last night

Cowley in trouble too at Pompey, time to pull the plug after conceding to Aluko

[South Coast Royal]

Maybe helped by Watford and / or Leeds being in the division at the time but wasn't the average tenure for a manager a few years ago in The Championship just 11 months?

Adkins gone, another manager Gunter has got sacked

He’s done Adkins twice

Think OMA was spot on about Adkins - would be ideal for youth coaching

Relentless positivity after a 3-2 home defeat to Accrington Stanley probably won’t cut it with 32 year olds that have been around the block

[leon]

I always thought Adkins was a massive twat.

[Hendo]

Heard he spoke quite highly of you... etc...
