RobNox Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 In terms of the Scottish Premiership, my possible contenders for an early bath.... Neil Lennon, appointed by Peter Lawell as the cheap option after Brenda jumped ship, to sack him so soon after being given the permanent manager's job would be an admission of error by PL. Failure to get past AIK and into the EL group stages might be the final straw for Celtic fans, but I can see popcorn teeth lasting just long enough to avoid being the first managerial casualty of the season. Heckinbottom6, despite his great run of results when initially taking up the job as manager of the great unwashed, there now seems to be a lot of dissent amongst the spoon burners. However, Dumpster appointed him and like Lawell at the mhanks she will try and hold onto him for as long as is tenable to preserve her reputation. Tommy Wright, St Johnstone now punching about their true level, after over performing for a few seasons, probably means Wright still has some credit in the bank. Kilmarnock - were shite for years battling against relegation, appointed Steve Clarke and suddenly became contenders for Europa League places. Just as quickly, having lost Clarke, they look to be heading back to where they were before he arrived. Unfortunately, fans expectations have been raised by Clarke, and the appointment of Angelo Allesio seems a bit left field. Results to date in BetFred Cup and League haven't been encouraging. I can see things going from bad to worse, so for my money, Angelo Allesio will be first to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spellczech Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) Who was the last Celtic manager to lose his job due to a European humbling? They've had several and it has never cost a manager his job. Celtic managers are judged on league form ie on beating Rangers. Rangers manager used to be the safest job in football but since Smith left it has been a poisoned chalice. Gerrard has done far better than I expected. He'll now do the Brendan thing and wait for the right job in top half in Premiership. Levein is safe McInnes is safe Heckingbottom has some time due to last season, they won't lose 6-1 every week. The rest cannot really afford to sack their managers. I think all managers will survive this season, with the possible exception of Alessio - man needs to learn English and get them going...

Mr Rabbit Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I’d seen a few Motherwell fans saying that if they don’t improve before October they can see Robinson getting sacked 😂 This being someone who a lot of Hearts fan were touting to replace Levein. Not having a go at these shouts and the logic is understandable but just find it pretty funny. Football fans being football fans but I’ve heard shouts for managers to be sacked at us, hibs, Aberdeen, Celtic, Killie, Motherwell and St Johnstone.

I can see things going from bad to worse, so for my money, Angelo Allesio will be first to go. I know that they haven't won a single game in the BetFred Cup so far, but feels harsh to judge him on that until they play their first game in the competition later today! But in seriousness, I agree with your post and conclusion. I was thinking last week about how many managers are under pressure or at least the fans are unhappy with. I'd say the list is: - Lennon - Lots of fans unhappy with appointments. Awful result in Europe which fans blame on manager. Fail to reach the Europa League group stage and fans will be in open revolt. Equally if they slip up a couple of times in the league before Rangers or even just lose the first OF game in a few weeks the fans will start to panic about 10 in a row. What we have no sense of is what it would take for Lawell to panic as its been so long since they've had any real challenge. - Gerrard. Safe. If they got to the end of the season without a trophy and didn't look like closing the gap, I think he might realise its time to move in before his managerial reputation is damaged. - McInnes - Always takes me by surprise how much the Aberdeen fans dislike him. Team looks to have gone backwards. Embarrassed in Europe again. Not a great start to the league. Fans will moan but doubt they will sack him. - Alessio - Looks in real trouble. First to go. - Heckingbottom - Again fans seem to really dislike him. Unclear why. In impressive so far. Hope it gets much worse. - Levein - Let's just not get into this one. - Wright - You would think would be safe. But squad looks rubbish, 1 win 3 defeats in League Cup group and 1 point from first two league games. Next 4 games are Hibs, Killie, Aberdeen, Rangers. Lose those and board might hit the panic button. Outside bet for first to go. - Robinson - Lost their best players. Out the cup at home, so again no cup run to rely on. 1 point form first two games. But easier run of games coming up so unless they really underperforming in those, dosen't look like a candidate for an early bath. - Holt - Surely safe. Started OK in league with two draws. Should be about to reach a quarter final. Next two league games are Ross County and St Mirren which will tell us a lot about how they are shaping up. - Rice - Expectations must be low. Seems unlikely candidate for first sacking. - Goodwin - Expectations of fans and owners unrealistically high. Awful in the league cup. Handling a tough league start OK. Now play Rangers, then Livi, Ross County and Hamilton. If that run goes badly I just think they ate the kind of club that likes a change in manager. Outside bet for first sacking of the season. - Ferguson/ Kettlewell - Safe. Not sure I can remember a time so many sets of fans were unhappy with their manager.

Locky Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Up here, I genuinely think McInnes will leave before the seasons end. How much more is there for him to stick around for? Even Aberdeen fans are surely thinking maybe a fresh approach is needed. Tommy Wright in a similar position at Saints too. Early signs show Killie and Hibs will be wielding the axe soon and Celtic may well be too. Down South, can see Marco Silva getting punted if Everton don't compete for top 6, although they've started well. I think Javi Gracia will struggle big time, Daniel Farke if Norwich are struggling might bite the bullet similar to Wagner last season. Pellegrini, Bruce and maybe even Hodgson could be casualties too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
