Championship Manager Sackings

[The Real Sandhurst Royal]

We have already seen Barnsley sack their manager Simon Davey in the Championship and install Mark Robins.

Who will be next Paul SturrocK at Plymouth, Roy Keane at Ipswich or Brendan Rodgers at Reading?

[Sun Tzu]

Certainly won;t be Rodgers.

Sturrock has to be odds on.

[winchester_royal]

Yep, because Coppell has such a great history of improving teams that are on the slide.

[Sun Tzu]

I doubt that, they are afraid to sack him as he could claim they are sacking him because of his medical situation.
I hope Rodgers will go first.

Rubbish.

His medical condition is irrelevant. Being ill doesn't mean you cannot be sacked if you are failing to perform your job. Of course it needs handling properly.

Rodgers simply isn;t on the list of possible sackings. The club aren;t as short sighted as some of the fans.

Rodgers isn't as safe as you think.

I would have Sturrock as the next sacked, and Keane can't have much longer either. Rodgers, although many seem to think he's some sort of Madejski love child, is very much on the rocks and as I mentioned recently, there is a lot of unrest at the club.

Although if the same people on here keep posting their opinions, then it seems to snowball and get treated as fact!

I would not like to see Rodgers sacked but he realy must start getting his act together and start to pick a settled team or we are going to be in trouble

You'd be amazed if there wasn;t some unrest.

We're not doing as well as we would want, we're not playing badly overall but can;t get the wins. There should be frustration ! There are players who would expect to be playing who aren;t and they will be unhappy - but that is the same at any club who insist on just selecting 11 in the side !!

blahblahblah Rodgers simply isn;t on the list of possible sackings. blah blah blah

That you repeat it over and over again does not make it true..

Indeed, of course it doesn't.

Although of course I haven;t repeated it 'over and over again'. You are the one with the stuck record !!

I say he is very much in danger of losing his job, out of the four next matches three of them are against teams that are in the top 5 in the FORM TABLE, and the last one is against Middlesbrough, which surely will not be an easy match either way.
Potentially we could notch up four straight losses, and it would be impossible for Rodgers to remain in the job if that happens.

Of course he could stay in the job. There are no 'rules' about when someone is sacked and plenty of really good managers make iffy starts and then turn things round.

We could lose the next 4 games, we could win them. Form tables are not really that important. We're still early in the season and whilst they are interesting they are far from definitive. Middlesboro have had a couple of cracking performances lately.... and didn;t Preston ship a lot of goals last week ?

Surely these are reasons to believe he won't be sacked, because expectations are set pretty low at the moment. It's the results against fellow strugglers that will decide his fate, surely? Unless we get completely tonked that is, then he'll really be in trouble having bigged up Pearce, sanctioned the Mills signing and got rid of Rosenior and Harper.

FAO - Sun Tzu - here's a little something for you to use in your posts '

[Ryn]

Three losses and a draw in the next four games (a likely result given how we are playing right now) will give Buck one win out of thirteen.

That is not enough to avoid the drop.

How long do you endure the pain before it's evident that the tooth needs pulling?

I want to see BR get it together and sort the team out, not to see him sacked, but how long do we give him before we decide that he can't sort the team out?

We have the squad to avoid relegation, we just need someone to manage them. That can be Brendan if he gets it together.

Rodgers simply isn;t on the list of possible sackings.

Why not? Every week he is under more pressure, even the Watford fans sang that was getted "Sacked in the Morning"

Every week the pressure changes for sure. Barnely and Cardiff wouldn' t have added any pressure, Peterboro would have been a nightmare although the first half would have been encouraging for all. Watford was neither one thing or the other. He was no more at risk after the game than before IMHO.

Have to LOL that anything the Wqatford fans sang would have had any bearing ! I thought they were fairly weak in their attacks on him, not a par on what we gave McGhee or pArdew !!

[weybridgewanderer]

OK, you stick you head in the sand and believe that Rodgers job is not at risk along with those of Sturrock and Keano

[howser]

No way will BR be sacked after paying watford a compensation fee, and with the "contract" payment he would have to pay BR there is no way that the tightarse would risk losing anymore money, he would rather see us at the bottom than dip into his shallow pockets !

Um, every manager is at risk - they almost all get the sack eventually !

Sticking heads in sand seems a weird way of describing it. I won;t be the one sacking him, I won;t suffer if he goes and it makes next to no difference to me who the manager is. I simply lok at the way the club has operated in the past, look at the job he's been brought in to do, look at the supposed ownership situation and just don;t see it likely he'll be got rid of.

If he does go he goes, I'd be surprised though.

This is probably pretty accurate. For several reasons, Madejski will not have a knee-jerk reaction to this, not least due to what it would cost to hire someone else.

Frustration both in the dressing room and board room no less. I'm sure Brendan will get more time, I'm sure of it, but never the less, he doesn't have too long to turn it around. The club will not risk a relegation when a potential buyer is close to taking control of the club. This adds even more urgency to cause.
