    [cite]Posted By: yung2368[/cite]NO, according to his bio, the board liked to extend the contract for 3 more years but curbs only want 1 as he thinks that is as far as he can lead chalrton in the league so they reach the mutual agreement. the 1 year curbs wanted to extend was because he wanted to give the board time to find someone who can qualify for the job.

    You can't even spell Charlton
    Is Jose Mourinho one or does it not count that he was never sacked abroad and in the prem.

    who do you support?
    you only seem to be public enemy as you are the most negative i have ever seen!

    maybe your a palace or millwall fan on a wind up or maybe your just negative but come on do you really believe we are going down?

    Now the sock puppet has gone, can we get back to the subject?

    We've come up with five managers still operating in English football who've never been sacked - Curbs, Keegan, Moyes, Mark Hughes and Paul Ince (who may be leaving this list shortly). A sixth name I'm not sure about is Martin O'Neill (was he sacked at Norwich or did he walk? Probably not there long enough to do anything that merited the boot, so I susepct he joins our elite list). And one, Redknapp, who deserves an honourable mention for only being sacked once in 25 years of managership.

    Any more?

    Nigel, you havent specified whether we're talking current (or available) managers or those in the past, where I live a lot of the time. Everyone seems to be talking current names more or less, so before anyone else does can I mention Shankly, Paisley, Fagan ,Busby and Nicholson. Also hasn't Gary Megson had the chop a few times?

    ''can I mention Shankly, Paisley, Fagan ,Busby and Nicholson.''

    Of course, you can March. I was narrowing the list to current managers, but it would be quite interesting to have comparative figures . Sure, it was never a profession with much job security. But I'd guess there must be two or three times the number of sackings per season now compared to, say, 40 years ago?

    Brian Clough had a long stint at forest. Not sure if he got sacked at Derby??
  • Options
    Yes he was, although he took ages to accept the fact, as did many of the supporters; read the excellent 'Damn United' for the full story.

    Cloughie was also sacked by Leeds after a reign that lasted just 44 days.

    He was also very good at sacking people himself. Can't remember if it was at Derby or Forest, but there was a story that he caught two tea ladies laughing and joking after his team had taken a pasting - and although they were probably laughing at something completely unconnected with football, he sacked them for inappropriate behavour !

  • Options
    Robson sacked at least four times - Fulham, England, Sporting Club Lisbon and Newcastle
  • Options
    Yes I thought about him too nla; I think he did alright until Newcastle, or did he jump before he was pushed?
  • Options

    Was Coppell ever sacked, know he walked out of Man City and is still at Reading...I assume Palace must have sacked him at one of his times at the club but can't remember....also how about Tony Pullis?

    As for most sacked...Trevor Francis must be up there somewhere he was awful.
