The Managerial Merry-Go-Round Thread

[Remember Colo]

Can only presume O'Neil wasn't content with their summer plans/budget. Which always seems to be the reason behind these surprise manager separations.

Bournemouth appoint some random Spanish dude as a manager.

Spent part of a lazy afternoon looking Iraola up. Fairly impressive record getting a second tier team promoted, and competed in la liga, finishing mid table with some good stats. Strong home form and high possession/turnover. Another Bielsa disciple, his style of play sounds not dissimilar to Howe. Has shades of Southampton replacing Adkins with Pochettino this. I think it'll be interesting to watch how it develops over this season, one way or the other.

Good manager , thought Gary O Neill done a great job there though not sure why he wasn't given it full-time

He was, he's been permanent since I think November. It's a big gamble, feels a bit like when we swapped Hughton for Pardew, O'Neil did nothing wrong but they must think this new fella has a bit about him.

Moore has left sheff wed by mutual agreement

Yeah seeing that this morning thought he was given it until the end of the season interim wise

And in Spain no less. Seems like a good place for him to have a bit of a reset.

Bit of a commute from the Wirral like. But will watch with keen interest, the Everton move was wrong on so so many levels. Being poor at that dumpster fire of a club, when it was clear strong sections of the fanbase would never warm to him, hiding to nothing. Whilst not always a fan of the football played under him, I understood the necessity, and I very much rate the man, and the manager. He's clearly insane, but in that football kind of way that all the greats are.

Southampton fans aren't happy

His win % at Swansea isn't anything to write home about.

[Tsi]

Yeah I thought it was a odd appointment

Maybe they'll win the Copa de la Vida? FYI the best World Cup song this side of Waka Waka (This Time for Africa).

Never even heard of those that waka waka song needs more vuvuzela though

I'd take it - have a big pay day for a year or two, chill out and then come back to manage in Europe because someone will have him back.

I suspect Watford fans will be expecting him to take the job
