Managerial Merry Go Round

Four managers are heading for the exit in the next 24 hours. Pepe Mel at West Brom, Tim Sherwood at Spurs, Big Sam at West Ham and Paul Lambert at Villa. 

I must say that I am surprised at the West Ham board of Gold, Sullivan and Brady bowing to pressure from their fans. Big Sam got them promoted and maintained their Premiership status but it still isn't good enough for the deluded Hammers fans. 

Hopefully they will get relegated next season and then we can all be entertained with their marvellous attractive football in the Championship.

I like Lambert. Brave manager.

West Ham fans will get a wake up call if they do replace Allaradyce. They want to play 'the West Ham way' whatever that is, will be interesting to see if a new manager can work out how to do that with Carroll and Nolan up front.

Mel looked completely out of his depth, although a genuine guy to be fair.

Sherwood came across as a bit of a twat to be honest - but the stats say he is the most successful Spurs manager in recent times.

Lambert is one of the worst managers ever to manage. I saw an interview with him the other day where he was trying to make out Villa were a small club with limited resources. What an absolute tool.

West Ham won't sack Fat Sam.

A few months ago you said it was a matter of time before West Ham sacked Sam and Bolton sacked freedman. Both had gone past the point of no return and would be out before the end of the season. Why the change of heart?

They were talking on the radio last week about how Mel had kept West Brom up. I'm not sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if their record was worse after he arrived. Not sure they need to sack him, mind.

West Ham have actually finished the season in a worse position than we once finished under Megson and it seems the football is as dire. It's easy for us to stick up for Allardyce because we remember him for the good old days when he brought in top class flair players for peanuts. At West Ham he seems to have spent a lot of money on junk. Everybody said Stoke would regret sacking Pulis, yet they've had their best ever season under Mark Hughes. It could go either way if West Ham sack Allardyce.

Sherwood hasn't had time to put his stamp on Spurs, but he strikes me as a frighteningly bad man manager.

Mel's record at Brom is worse than Steve Clarke.

The final interview of Tim Sherwood. He'll be no good at West Ham.

Birmingham have sacked John Eustace after beating West Brom on Friday night, a victory that lifted them to 6th in the table, their highest position in years.

Madness.

And who is favourite to take over? Wayne Rooney.

Double madness.

Very odd decision. Rather like trying to put out a chip pan fire with your knob.
It might work, but the likelihood is, neither chips, nor knob are ending up fit for purpose.

Did you have to go to hospital?

No. But I was instrumental in the invention of the battered sausage in the sixties.
