Transfer Window for managers?

[Blues Rock DJ]

should the same rules apply for managers, good or more importantly, crap ones?

 

[BHAOHM]

No way!

No, it's different and would breach EU Employment rules.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Yes, except it would be impossible to enforce and easy enough to employ a new manager as consultant or even a contrived roll such as head barman for instance.

I wonder if players might show a bit more commitment to the team if they knew that a manager was going to be in the position until atleast the end of the season. Paul Dickov quit Oldham because players weren't playing for him, maybe they would have if they'd known they had no choice? Or would it make situations even more fractious?

I'd like there to be a rule for just 1 season that clubs can NOT sack a manager. Or have a rule like in Spain where managers can't manage more than 1 club a season.

No,this is a fun idea.

Sky would have orgasms as the list of sacked managers hit the screens.

Seven Premier managers sacked on December 31st,Gus installed as favourite for all of them.Droves of lower league managers getting the P45 and shuffling around from Home to Brunton Parks and all grounds in between.Better even than the current musical chairs.Blackpool could have three new managers in January,and who knows how many in the summer window.

Best idea to perk up the old football scene.

Splendid !

I may be in a minority - but sounds like not a bad idea.

Mr. Abramovic might declare war, though.......................
