Boothroyd sacked

[dylanisabaddog 4,921]

Cue pictures of Todd and Max grinning 😊

[Midlands Yellow 3,985]

He’s been stealing a living for years now, about time too. 

[Canary Wundaboy 1,359]

Difficult to muster any sympathy, with the talent at his disposal the results have been extremely poor. 

[CANARYKING 638]

Another old time manager living in the past

[Barry Brockes 147]

There was an alleged rumour at the time Boothroyd was allegedly appointed by Dan Ashworth at the FA that allegedly Boothroyd had been the best man at Ashworth's wedding allegedly. Pure coincidence obviously if that was the case.

[ncfcstar 292]

Lampard for the job?  With the aim to move him into the senior team when Southgate leaves?

[Branston Pickle 3,659]

He did have a point about better players being ‘nicked’ by the full team (something u23 managers could all moan about - but ‘success’ at that level is measured differently) but there’s still a lot of talent at his disposal and he got nothing like what he should out of them at the recent tournament.

[TIL 1010 4,748]

Well i am shocked, shocked i tell you. Never saw that coming.

[Ken Hairy 3,772]

Good, absolutely scandalous that he's been in charge of nurturing our young talent for so long. 

[Duncan Edwards 2,236]

I seem to recall that he was on a few 'wishlists' for the Carrow Road hotseat a few years back. Perhaps he will be again should Farke depart...🙄

[cambridgeshire canary 6,720]

Thank god, about time.

 

How we did awful with arguably one of the most talented England youth teams in years is beyond me

How unusual is it for someone to give a job to somebody he has previously worked with?

[keelansgrandad 6,679]

You mean he got the big boot?

Will be a perfect fit for the binners when Paul Cook gets sacked if they don't have a flying start next season.

They always have a flying start. It's all part of the fun😂

[AJ 1,221]

He has been woeful for a while, this was more a formality than a surprise, hopefully they pick someone who is decent with youth in his place

Wasn't that around the time when the Worthy Out campaign had their moment in the sun ?

I believe so. Wasn't Steve Tilson another of the names around that time?

If you are talking about my brother Stephen he is a chef so there was a chance to have two cooks in charge.

Worthy himself said that losing young thrusting talent as Boothroyd was a sign of the clubs lack of ambition. Or something similar . 

[Making Plans 936]

Got the job for his "no baggage, squeaky clean" image rather than football managerial ability.

Same as Southgate.

They all get found out in the end..

I wanted Worthington out at that point, because he had shot his bolt as a Norwich City manager, but also because Phil Parkinson, who'd done a fantastic job getting Colchester promoted, was available. We held onto Worthington and he was sacked that October, while Parkinson went to Hull, and was sacked that December. There is a moral or a lesson there but exactly what it is eludes me...😕
