A lot of clubs in their position would have gone with a fire fighter type manager and appoint Big Sam or Moyes Well done Southampton for having the forward thinking to go against the recycling of washed up Premier League managers and appointing someone who has potential to take the club forward.

I think we are slowly but surely finally getting rid of those types of manager.
I'm sure big Sam will be back at some point, but hopefully we have seen the end of the likes of Pardew, Pulis, McClaren and Moyes getting recycled around various premier league clubs.

Massive news - Wally Downes appointed Wimbledon Manager. But they have already warned him about his use of social media!!!
A surprising choice. Yes a former Wimbledon favourite, but not actually been a manager since 2004
So Curbs still has a chance
Still not been officially revealed why Wally was sacked as first team coach at West Ham under Big Sam. My Hammers supporting mates are still mystified .
remember Wally trying to punch out Warnock's lights during a televised game a long time ago .. he accused Warnock of telling his players (can't recall which of his many clubs Warnock was at) to kick Wally's men, (he was the assistant at Reading I think at the time) .. as has been writ, Wally is an old time up 'n at em type, just what the Wombles need .. he's done well in the past as an assistant but seems to fall out with people on a regular basis .. we will see
Walker quit Norwich in January 1994, following a long running feud with Chairman Robert Chase (mainly centring on Chase's habit of selling off the club's key players without consulting his manager first - for example Robert Fleck to Chelsea just after Walker's appointment), to become manager of Everton, with Everton having to pay substantial compensation to Norwich to secure his services.

Just in time for them to give us their usual beating.....
no real surprise .. Clement is another who talks the talk and has yet to even really stumble the walk .. all the promise supposed by the Chinese owners to make Reading a 'big club again' have not materialised ..
FROM WIKI .. Dai Yongge (Chinese: 戴永革; pinyin: Dài Yǒnggé; born 1968) is a Chinese businessman and investor. He is currently the Executive Chairman of Renhe Commercial Holdings Company Limited, a listed investment holding company who specialise in the operation of shopping centres transformed from air-raid shelters. They have centres in 30 cities across China, including Harbin, Guangzhou, Wuhan and Shenyang.[1]
I would hope that the air raid shelters are bigger than the Anderson shelter we had in our old backyard in Lewisham ((:>)
One of those managers I’ve always rated highly but has continued to disappoint.
I personally think Reading will go down this season. Don’t think they have a lot about them.
Agreed... thought he was harshly sacked @ Derby though
Huge Pedigree working at Madrid, Chelsea &Bayern with Ancelotti. I thought he was okay with Derby and Swansea. Thought the sacking were harsh, but cannot say he has excelled.
TBH, the last fifteen years have been quite good for Reading, two play off finals, two league titles and three years in the prem are good for a size of the club of Reading. I always have seen Reading as a bottom half championship team who should be flirting with relegation.
Hope we avoid them next season as I hate playing them home and away because they are a pointless club.

A lot of clubs seem to follow a similar pattern, success under a locally based businessman who spends a lot of money (in this case Madejski) but when he decides to step down and sell the club, things become a lot less stable.
The Championship is a financial nightmare really, massive losses as clubs pursue PL glory, until the owners run out of money and some new mugs come in!

I'd like to play them next year. Very easy to get to and we should being a few. The 1-0 win there a few years back under Peters where Vetekole scored the winner was a hugely enjoyable away day.

There was a lot of positivity that day towards Peeters. Amazing to think that 2 months later he would be gone and we'd be humiliated 5-0 at Watford

Well done Southampton for having the forward thinking to go against the recycling of washed up Premier League managers and appointing someone who has potential to take the club forward.
I'm sure big Sam will be back at some point, but hopefully we have seen the end of the likes of Pardew, Pulis, McClaren and Moyes getting recycled around various premier league clubs.
And the former Dons midfielder will have Glyn Hodges, who also played for the South London club, as his assistant boss.
First-team coach Simon Bassey, who had been in interim charge, continues as first-team coach but Steven Reid, who came in temporarily to boost their backroom team, has moved on.

No, that was Mike Walker, but I can’t recall the clubs.
Mike Walker played for Charlton
Norwich and Everton.
Walker quit Norwich in January 1994, following a long running feud with Chairman Robert Chase (mainly centring on Chase's habit of selling off the club's key players without consulting his manager first - for example Robert Fleck to Chelsea just after Walker's appointment), to become manager of Everton, with Everton having to pay substantial compensation to Norwich to secure his services.
The guy is a results machine. Don't give me crap about boring football - nobody dislikes winning.

Paul Jewell appointed Director of Football at Swindon
There's a term we don't hear so often now as we did 10 years ago
