The Managerial Merry-go-round

[whitechina]

Wonder if they will go for Arteta, given his Barca connection?

I hope not- that lot down the road might get someone in who can make them better

 

[Oscar22]

Arteta? I know they aren’t what they were but Barca can surely still go for an elite, top table manager instead?

 

[Oh Teddy Teddy]

whether you like him or not, he has made them better and now he can jog on to Barcelona and Arsenal can bring in Thomas Frank (who I think would be fairly average)

 

[Spursmatty87]

Listened to the athletic podcast, they don’t think Barca will have the money to ‘buy’ a manager.

Thick as mince this one is.

Is Neil Warnock a bit mental? Only four months on from leaving Huddersfield and he’s now gone to Aberdeen?
For crying out loud man go and put your feet up, I’m sure the Mrs would like the company!

Not if the company is Neil Warnock tho!
‘Fuck sake, go and get another job, Aberdeen for all I fucking care!’

Crystal Palace fail with push to take Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna

Crystal Palace have been frustrated in attempts to persuade Kieran McKenna to replace Roy Hodgson but hope the Ipswich manager could take over in the summer

www.theguardian.com

This would be a very interesting move and confirms that the only reason Hodgson is still in post is because nobody wants to take it right now.

Still a bit surprised Cooper isn't in the mix but maybe he also wants to wait for the summer.

Looks like Hodgson is off, with Glasner likely taking over. If it happens, we're going to be his 1st or 2nd game

Palace set to sack Hodgson, Glasner leading candidate to take over

Crystal Palace are set to sack manager Roy Hodgson, with former Eintracht Frankfurt head coach Oliver Glasner the leading candidate to replace him. Hodgson, 76, will leave Palace 15th in the Premier League table, just five points above the relegation zone after three wins in the last 19 games...

I know they wanted him to leave with dignity, but this should have been done a few months ago.

This slow motion sacking of Hodgson is very poor form from Palace

He shouldn't have been given an extension after keeping them up. Unbelievably poor planning by the Palace board, they knew he was never a long term option.

 

[mill]

Apparently he’s been taken ill now

 

[Tucker]

Terrible look for Palace this. Briefing the press they’re going to sack him and letting it fester for a few days. Now he’s been taken ill.

I wouldn’t want my old man treated that way by his employer.

He's a big boy who has been in the game a long time, been paid handsomely for doing so, and he's doing a very poor job. If age shouldn't be a factor when hiring him, then it shouldn't be a consideration when firing him.

I never really understood why they got rid of Viera. He had them playing good football and if I remember correctly he was sacked at the end of a really tough run of games and before they hit an easier stretch which Hodgson benefited from.

Agree that age shouldn't be a factor, but some common decency wouldn't go amiss.

It's being handled terribly by Palace.

Do we know that? I mean right now everyone is assuming that it's been leaked through purposely by Palace, but I'm not sure why they would. Any club in their position with half a clue would be looking for the right replacement before pulling the trigger. As with most of these things I expect the leak has come from someone inside the club who shouldn't have leaked it, but thinks this is the way to speed up the decision making and that they are doing the club a favour.

That very much sounds like them handling it poorly.
