Managers who are Pony

How do some managers keep getting jobs however skilled they appear to be at wrecking the clubs they manage?
Mark Hughes was a great player but what a terrible manager he appears to be.
Pulis must be laughing his head off after the crazy decision to sack him.

    To be fair, Pulis is achieving a minor miracle given the squad Palace have got.

    I can see the Charlton story being repeated here with Stoke.

    Was hoping he'd get the Palace gig and take them down again.

    Glenn Roeder. It's stopped a few years ago, but how did he keep getting new jobs?

    Big Mick should be nowhere near this list, as much as I love Powell we'd definitely be doing better with him.

    Owen Coyle

    Football is a merry go round of jobs for the boys and even applies to the pundits.

    Phil Brown is doing OK at Southend now.

    My mate is a reporter on a northern paper so knows Brown quite well, he says he is actually one of the nicest blokes in the game but that he did let things go to his head in his Hull days.

    Apparently when Brown took the Derby job he assembled the players in the meeting room and said, "Right lads, you've hit the jackpot, you are now going to be working with one of the best coaches in the whole of Europe...."

    The players sat there waiting for some Spanish maestro to come bursting in....until it became apparent that Brown was talking about himself!

    He actually told my mate that himself as an indicator of how far up his own arse he had got.

    Depends what Managerial level your at... Alan Knill took Bury up from League Two (before departing for Scunthorpe)... Same with Owen Coyle (Burnley) i.e. you dont win promotion with a club and become a bad Manager overnight

    Zola and Di Canio are other good examples... Not good in the Premier League but Zola is good in the Championship whilst Di Canio won League Two may have taken Swindon to the Championship had he stayed around instead of going to Sunderland

    Yeah - amazing how he 'keeps getting jobs'

    Oh... Wait... Isn't this his first job?
