They lost at home to Wigan today who had one shot on target and <30% possession

Re: The Managerial Merry-Go-Round Thread
They have been crap for much of the season, that said they were always one of the favourites to go down and from memory he wasn't really given much to spend in summer (could be wrong) so they've pretty much got their Championship team so what do the board expect?
From a fans point of view that's annoying. Get absolutely pummelled at home by Palace who had never before scored 5 in a PL match, go away to another relegation rival who haven't trained for the best part of two weeks due to a Covid outbreak and lose 2-1. Then go to an albeit out of form Man C and get a draw.

Exactly right. His job is to try and keep a Championship side in the Premier League, which is just silly.Bodacious Benny wrote: ↑Wed Dec 16, 2020 9:15 amThey have been crap for much of the season, that said they were always one of the favourites to go down and from memory he wasn't really given much to spend in summer (could be wrong) so they've pretty much got their Championship team so what do the board expect?

Seems nailed on for Big Sam
Thought the PL had seen the back of the likes of Allardyce, Hughes, Pulis etc.

I think it's harsh. He wasn't backed in the Summer and although they've lost most of their games this season, for the most part they've been close games.

Re: The Managerial Merry-Go-Round Thread
I'm not a fan of Bilic, but I fail to see how anybody can think getting rid of him and replacing him with Allardyce is a solution. Especially as he was ineffective when last in work and hasn't managed for nearly 3 years. Can they really not think of anybody better!?

Re: The Managerial Merry-Go-Round Thread
Would have thought they’d have learnt their lessons when they appointed Pardew as a past it manager. Thought it’s questionable if Pardew ever had it other than one decent season with us and one with West Ham maybe?

Re: The Managerial Merry-Go-Round Thread
These mediocre clubs keep rotating through managers, often the same ol' bunch, and expecting different results. It's no surprise that clubs can't elevate themselves from their current standing when they don't receive significantly more investment or don't given managers time to affect real, lasting change. Not saying Bilic would have turned it around or built them into something more, but with how fast managers are expected to get results these days, I don't know what owners expect to happen.

I fully agree with what you are saying, but we have employed Bruce, McClaren, Pardew and Allardyce in relatively recent timesRemember Colo wrote: ↑Sat Dec 19, 2020 12:59 amThese mediocre clubs keep rotating through managers, often the same ol' bunch, and expecting different results.

Re: The Managerial Merry-Go-Round Thread
That makes no sense as they do want the same result. Expecting a diffeent result from Allerdyce would be relegation. The same result is him coming in and keeping a poor team up as he always does.Remember Colo wrote: ↑Sat Dec 19, 2020 12:59 amThese mediocre clubs keep rotating through managers, often the same ol' bunch, and expecting different results.

Allyerdyce always comes in to a struggling relegation bound club and keeps them up. Did it with Sunderland, Palace and Blackburn. At Bolton and West Ham he went one better, he joined them outside of the Premier League, got them promoted and kept them up. He even got Bolton into Europe.
The only jobs he's struggled in were Newcastle and Everton. But those were diffrent jobs, he had to take mid table teams to the next level but couldn't.
He's not going to get West Brom playing great football and he won't get them knocking on the door of the top 6. However he'll keep them up and that is all they will want. He's been successful everywhere he's been when the job has been to keep a struggling side up so I completely understand why West Brom have gone for him.
Obviously no manager in the world can come in and 100% guarantee saftey. But with Allerdyce's record and the position West Brom are in, he's about as good a bet as it gets and a very good appointment.
