YankeeCanary 0 Posted February 9, 2008 If Sheffield United blow it today against 10 man Scunthorpe I will not be at all surprised to see Bryan Robson on his way. With managers in any field it is difficult to go into work on Monday morning and listen to the boring monotone of a manager who does not understand that it is not just what you say, it is also how you say it. In this respect and, as it relates to football managers in the Championship, Robson and McCarthy are on borrowed time again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote]An ''available for employment'' Bryan Robson is one of the most scary things any football club supporter will face in their lifetime. Fantastic player but not a manager.It amazes me how sometimes an individuals status as a player still carries weight when they repeatedly fail as a manager. Very much like this Alan Shearer for Newcastle manager business. Obviously he hasn''t failed because he hasn''t managed and that is the point, he has no credentials let alone bad ones.

My goodness, Leicester will be striving for a football league record in manager turnovers. Does anyone have a sense of the record book on manager turnovers over one or two season period?I can remember that a number of folks on here were pushing for Holloway before Glenn Roeder was appointed. I wonder what Leicester fans would give to have Roeder running things? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sing Up The South Stand 0 Posted February 9, 2008 Why they ever appointed Bryan Robson I''ll never know he''s never achieved anything as a manager. Apart from relegating middlesbrough, getting them promoted again, spending millions to finish mid-table, relegating bradford! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

7rew 0 Posted February 11, 2008 Millwall managed 9 in one season the year they were relegated from the championship, although a couple were caretakers that refused the job on a permenant basis.They also had 3 chairmen in this time.(They have had 9 permanent managers since 2005) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YankeeCanary 0 Posted February 15, 2008 I think there''s every likelihood that, unless things improve over the next 4 or 5 games, Mr. McCarthy will be gone. Wolves were in 3rd place at the beginning of December. Since then they have only secured 11 points out of 42 available. Clearly the pressure will grow on the Wolves Board to act.
