Clarke sacked at WBA

[imissworthing2]

I thought it was abit odd that he was happy to sell Long to Hull but then continue to play him as their main striker after bring 2 more in.

Saying that, it's a completely head mental decision!

 

[brakespear]

Pathetic decision by the WBA board.

 

[vegster]

Big Sam soon and Chris Houghton if Norwich get whacked by Swansea tomorrow. That will be the bottom 6 that have changed managers.

 

[sparkie]

Oh NO.

Gus to West Brom.

....


Loving the fact that it's not our problem anymore ! :guitar:

 

[Ernest]

Winning at Old Trafford no longer seen as a big deal

 

[Icy Gull]

It does indeed appear a little mental but having thought the same about Pardew and Adkins sackings at Saints and Clough's at Derby, I'll wait and see this time before passing comment.

Clarkes success last season had a lot to do with Lukaku which is why Martinez is looking a better manager than he is.

 

[GoingUp]

Absolutely crazy, the WBA board should be ashamed and the fans outraged (if clarke didnt want to leave that is) shows what a joke football has become with regards to the owners firing managers every 5mins...

Be interesting to know what Fergie's worst losing spell was back in the 1980's..but Man U stuck with him.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Well, if they are awash with money and have earmarked a replacement like the boy brought in at Saints it may be genius. But have they (any money)?

Saw Poshette on Sky earlier. He looks like a broken man.

Not our problem . . . .

 

[TSB]

Oscar to West Brom?

WBA only won 7 league matches in calendar year of 2013. But not being able to get Lukaku on loan again this season is a major reason for them not being as strong as last season. They have also been without their first choice goalkeeper for most of the season.

The game against Chelsea where Ramires won that joke penalty in injury time to get Chelsea a draw and the next game where West Brom threw away a 2-0 lead to draw with Villa seem to have knocked the stuffing out of them. But I don't think there was any real danger of them going down and during this year, Clarke has managed them to deserved wins at both Anfield and Old Trafford and they should have won at Stamford Bridge too. I think there must be more to this than just results having faltered.

I thought Clough had five seasons at Derby and if so how much more time would you have given him ?

 

[The Truth]

The Hawthorns has a low down ceiling which can't be raised due to planning permission. Gus wont be interested.

 

[Publius Ovidius]

It's quite interesting that derby were not doing brilliantly and sacked Clough and then appointed schteve and they have won z6 on the bounce. I wonder if the WBA board thinks the same will happen to them

 

[vegster]

Mnnnn.. Hope Mr Moyes is taking note of the price of failure.

You have raised some good points.

But football these days IS all about results and who you sign and not sign, I bet they have someone lined up - I'm just trying to think whom!

I heard Allardyce was making some comment/moaning about not being able to get Lukaku on loan and that's why west ham weren't performing. Could one player be attributed to several managers getting the sack. Has one player had ever had this sort of effect before?

 

[Justice]

Mr Poyet bleated on for two season on how he wanted to manage in the PL and then signs for a side that's doomed for the championship..should of held out for a while.
