mrbojangles Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 As this thread is about managers being sacked, thought I'd post this here. Should mid-season sackings be banned? Gary Neville has his say... Should mid-season manager sackings be banned? Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville said he would support the idea that managers could not be sacked during a campaign. In a week where Aitor Karanka lost his job at Middlesbrough, Martin Tyler, who was co-commentating on Man City's draw with Liverpool alongside Neville, asked the former Manchester United defender whether a transfer window for managers should be introduced.

Bredbury Blue Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 ^Surprised the LMA aren't pushing for a transfer window situation for managers the same as for players. Security for managers. Worth a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champers Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Not likely to happen with City, but if a team lost 6 on the bounce a club should have the right to make a change. I'm not sure if "windows" are actually legal. They seem like a restraint of employee rights to me. Imagine if you wanted to change jobs and were told you could only do so in 3 specified months of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3 minus 2 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 this has been my 'train of thought ' for the past 2 years changing coach's only in the pre season, not sure on the jan window, IMO would have a HUGELY positive effect on english football, for one managers may even start giving young players the game time they need rather than, in general knee jerk , so we've got to buy scenario.. .

mrbojangles Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I've got my feet in both camps and am sitting on the fence on this one. I can see the benefits of it but also a club should have the right to terminate a bad performing manager. If a player isn't performing, you can drop him and put a replacement in but you can't drop a manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If players can be restricted from moving, why can't the exact same apply to managers? Nobody has challenged the current rules restricting player movement. If they did they would win. Remember the Bosman ruling? Bosman himself didn't benefit too much but the likes of Owen and McManaman sure did. Clubs are kakking their pants when a good player looks like he is running his contract down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you better read up on employment law, in particular, start at constructive dismissal. Believe it or not, even though some of these guys are on huge salaries, they still have rights.

In this country, they can't just demote someone or you can take the club for constructive dismissal. That's why they always get sacked or "leave by mutual agreement". Chelsea tried demoting Eva Carneiro from first team physio and she took them to court for constructive dismissal. Anyway, the point I was trying to make was that with a player you can drop them one week and play them the next etc as they are part of a squad. You can't simply drop a manager one week and then have him managing again the next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of a different scenario to what I'm saying Champers. Megson was actually sacked and replaced and was on a 12 month rolling contract. As they couldn't reach a settlement agreement, he simply carried on getting paid until his contract ran out. Obviously this meant he couldn't get another job. What we were talking about before, was replacing managers only during a window. We have veered off into just talking about the in's and out's of a sacking as opposed to the difficulties of only doing it during a window. All I said was "If a player isn't performing, you can drop him and put a replacement in but you can't drop a manager. " If this rule did come in and you dropped your manager, you'd be without a manager until the window opens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevieH Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 i think there have been about a dozen 'new maradonas' over the years. ariel ortega was one. so was juan roman riquelme even though they played nothing like each other. javier saviola, andres d'alessandro, marcelo gallardo, pablo aimar, think even carlos tevez was called that at the start. just tended to mean you were agentinian, an attacker and ideally a shortarse.

As time marches on its now the "new Messi". Dybala at Juve the odds on candidate. Good luck with that, though he is a really nice little footballer.
