The Manager Sack Race/Merry-go-Round

[Pepe the Horseman]

He'll be their 15th permanent manager since 2012-13, which is only three fewer than West Ham have had in their entire history.

[Stranded]

I thought he had decided to retire?

Guess he knows he'll likely be retired again by the summer at the latest with a healthier pension pot.

[NathStPaul]

I would feel bad about it if he goes to Watford. Yes he was a really crap England manager but he has always come across as a really nice bloke and certainly someone who doesn't need to be managing a basketcase club like Watford. They simply don't have the players to stay up, impossible task.

[Silver Fox]

Woke up this morning to a notfication that Woy was in line for the job and it says what an absolute clown car that Watford are that I thought "oh, they sacked their manager and nobody even thought to mention it"

He was at Udinese under the same owners, so should have a good idea of what he's getting himself into. Just a short term contract, so he can't really go wrong.

I think that West Ham have only had 18 managers ever is the more incredible stat there, that's mad.

*goes to Wiki.

12 of those West Ham managers have been since Lou Macari was appointed in 1989, which means incredibly that they had only 5 managers in the prior 88 years.

Syd King 1902-1932
Charlie Paynter 1932-1950
Ted Fenton 1950-1961
Ron Greenwood 1961-1974
John Lyall 1974-1989

If they ever do a biopic of his life they need to get Peter Capaldi to play him in the early 90's era.

Good shout.

Grant McCann sacked by Hull. Fcuking mad decision IMO

Crazy. My brother supports Hull and is fearful for the future. He seems to think Hull will get Shota Arveladze in which is just bizarre. No Championship knowledge and just a puppet for the new owner who wants to be heavily involved in team selection and play purchases.

[From Despair To Where?]

Granted he was a decent player but last seen managing in Uzbekistan.

And we thought some of our appointments were completely obscure and random.

[Winston Biscuit]

Been reported for a few days now that Averladze is getting the job. He knows the new Hull owner from his time managing in Turkey apparently

Vitor Pereira, formerly linked with Reading, set to be appointed Everton Manager on a six month contract with option for one year.

Guess which Iranian "Super Agent" recommended him to Everton.
