rock bus 854 Posted November 5, 2023 Genuinely interested if anyone knows if it has happened in a professional game? Honestly if I was Webber or Delia id have gone down and sacked him and ask one of the coaching team to take charge of the second half Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
benchwarmer 625 Posted November 5, 2023 (edited) Yes, Martin Jol at Spurs in 2007. There's a rumour that Wagner has already resigned and will leave when his 12-month rolling contract comes up for renewal in January. Doubtless the players are aware of it. True or not, it would explain a lot. Edited November 5, 2023 by benchwarmer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FCC 77 Posted November 5, 2023 I vaguely recall Alex Neil going to the dressing room at half time before he had taken over. Compare that with the Knapper taking a holiday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Compare that with the Knapper taking a holiday. Yep, he was watching from the stands and joined dugout in second half and we came back to win. oh for those days again….indeed I’d take him back at the moment. At least he has some passion and knows a bit about how to,an age a squad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's a rumour that Wagner has already resigned and will leave when his 12-month rolling contract comes up for renewal in January. Doubtless the players are aware of it. True or not, it would explain a lot. My understanding of rolling contracts is that if the manager is sacked at any point they are contractually entiltled to a pay-off of the length of that contract. It makes no difference when the contact end. In this case we'd have to pay Wagner a full years wages in compensation whever he goes so it may as well be tomorrow. Maybe that's wrong ?
