  • It feels as though Sheff Utd are going through the same issues as us and Liverpool - they need the fans at Bramall Lane to push them on, reckon they'd recover next season with fans back and Wilder in charge albeit in the Championship. 

    Its too convenient that the home form of the three clubs has nose dived since Project Restart despite being so strong under the respective Managers
    Between the resumption of the league and January this year, Liverpool won 10 and drew 3 of their first 13 home games. No fans at Anfield has nothing to do with their poor recent form.

    Yup. Easy to forget Liverpool were top of the league on New Years Day.
  • A big weekend on the managerial front. Interesting timing from Pompey, as they've been poor for a while but the axe fell after losing in the final of the Papa John's trophy! 

    I was puzzled why Birmingham appointed Karanka anyway, who had a pretty average record at Boro.
    Got Boro promoted I guess.

    Did pretty badly after that and at Forest though!

    looks like the Cowleys are off to Pompey until the end of the season at least

    I may have missed it, but any reason why Portsmouth only looking for a manager until end of the season (10 or so games). 

    If they’re not interested in a permanent manager, surely best to promote from within the club. If we’d brought in Adkins as caretaker manager for 10 games, I’d be rather confused.

    it appears to be the modern trend , hedging a bet , if they work out then good, if not, then Pompey are not stuck with a potentially expensive flop .. this has not been confirmed

    Cowleys confirmed until the end of the season

    Puzzled why it's taken so long to actually confirm this, considering it's been known about for several days

    if you are listening to R5 (Fulham v Leeds), Bowyer is on for a chat during 1/2 time, around 20.45

    I'd be surprised. Preston are prudently run but pretty unambitious really

    Funnily if they hadn't just taken jobs, you could see likes of Paul Cook, the Cowleys, Bowyer or Adkins being interested!

    Richie Wellens at Salford gets the sack after 4 months in charge, must've been a disappointment not retaining the EFL trophy

  • Or not holding onto it for long enough.

    There's something really unlikeable about Salford, buying their way up the divisions, and with an expectation that it will keep happening, summed up by them sacking Alexander when they were 5th, and Wellens when they are 9th

    as I said on here months ago, not a football club, just a vanity project, and despite the propaganda re the 'class of 92', the majority shareholder is a Singaporean businessman.

    Seems like an odd decision to sack manager. EFL trophy success, 6 points off play offs with a game in hand, best defence in the league.

    Former Blackburn and Blackpool boss Gary Bowyer has been appointed as Salford City's new manager, following the departure of Richie Wellens.

    Good news for all LOL seekers that the other Bowyer is back as a manager  ;)

    Madness

    And where did the Class of 92 "borrow" a manager from? Wayne Rooney's Derby County...

    Not to mention his background staff... Joyce (ex-Man Utd Reserve Coach) and Darren Gibson

    the odd thing about this comment is that Neville supposedly is one of the owners/directors/controllers of Salford City ..

    No it's not its just come back to bite him.

    The jungle drums up north are sounding like our favourite gobby scouser is going to get an interview at Sheffield United.

    The Neville tweet is actually from 2018.
    Carragher quoted it yesterday following the Salford sacking.

    as @ForeverAddickted predicted .. Garragher once more having a pop at his old sparring partner ((:>) .. shows what a 'float with the wind' character Neville is ((:>)
