Has any manager ever left a club without overseeing a single game? I'd have Riga back to head up our academy.1

Riga deserves far better than the likes of Oyston. Didn't Martin 'Mad Dog' Allen last just four days at Leicester - or was it four games?The Red Robin said:Has any manager ever left a club without overseeing a single game? I'd have Riga back to head up our academy.

'If Riga is sacked before the season begins he would break Michael Appleton’s 65-day record for the shortest managerial reign in Blackpool’s history.'

'While reports Riga had quit the club last night are wide of the mark, The Gazette understands his position is far from safe, with Oyston fast running out of patience.'
OYSTON running out of patience?
You what? He has been patiently listening to Riga asking to have 11 players to start the season with, and is now fed up hearing the requests/
'Jose, it's all nag nag nag with you, fergawssake gimmee some peace man, next thing you'll be asking for a football to play with...sheesh, go and knock next door and ask to borrow a ball if you're that worried about it, stop bothering me, I've got the prem money I've trousered to spend, and I am looking through the catalogues. Jose it's always about YOU isn't it? I'm fast running out of patience.'7 -

Messed around or bad choices?Huskaris said:I feel like Riga's been messed around a lot in his managerial career. And he seems like such a nice guy too.
Don't agree Duchatalet messed him around, to the best of our knowledge Riga was invited to be an interim manager with a specific objective, which he achieved. There was no "if they stay up you'll be considered.."
As a career interim myself, I know that when I come in to do a role, I am there to achieve specific objectives and then I move on. same for Riga.
Blackpool was a ludicrous decision and he obviously had not done the right due diligence or even ask the tea lady at Charlton.
I like Riga, but its not jst circumstances that has affected him, its his own choices.

from what i understand riga wants to bring in a couple of belgian players and has his own targets but oyston doesnt want to pay any agents money.

Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere, but looking like Riga won't be there after the weekend and is locked in an impasse with Oyston according to this BBC report. Copied below, also highlighted an almost throwaway line that probably has more significance than at first glance:
Jose Riga's future as Blackpool manager is likely to be decided by Saturday.
The former Charlton boss, who took charge at Bloomfield Road on 11 June, is locked in a dispute with chairman Karl Oyston over transfer policy.
Riga is understood to have refused to make any signings unless Oyston brings in three particular players, whose identities have not been made public.
With three weeks to go until their opening Championship game, Blackpool have just eight contracted players.
If Riga agrees to start bringing in players and is in the dugout for Saturday's opening pre-season fixture at non-league Penrith, he will remain in charge.
However, if the transfer stand-off between Riga and the chairman continues - or if the manager does not show at Penrith - it is expected to spell the end of his reign.
With their opening league fixture to be played at Nottingham Forest on 9 August, the Seasiders - relegated from the Premier League in 2011 - have no goalkeeper and will have to rely on youth-team players and trialists to play Saturday's friendly against their Northern League Division One opponents.
A pre-season tour to Spain, for which the squad were scheduled to depart on Sunday, has been cancelled at the manager's request.
But Riga has been told the Penrith game will go ahead, with the boss - as far as the club are concerned - in the dugout.
The 56-year-old, who had a 16-match spell at Charlton at the end of last season, was appointed as successor to interim player-manager Barry Ferguson, under whom Blackpool narrowly escaped relegation to League One last season.
Riga has not spoken to the media since he got the job 37 days ago.
Michael Appleton currently holds the record for the shortest Blackpool reign - he was manager for 65 days during the 2012-13 season, before leaving to take over at Blackburn.
Blackpool's eight contracted players:- Defenders: Gary MacKenzie, Tony McMahon, Charles Dunne
- Midfielder: David Perkins
- Forwards: Steven Davies, Bobby Grant, Sergei Zenjov, Tom Barkhuizen

Who could they be?0 -
messi ronaldo and neymar5

Eight plus three makes a team. Obviously Riga is in the wrong because he has forgotten the substitutes, that must be what's annoying Karl.1

just a bit of a weird situation.

7/4 for Nottm Forest to stick 3 or more past them not looking a bad bet, considering they've been scoring themselves in friendlies while Blackpool can only just about field a 7 a side team...0
