General Manager Sack Watch



Warne gone now which is a bit of a shame, 7 league defeats on the spin and only 3 goals scored in that time. With a healthy budget he's got a knack of getting teams to be big, strong and organised enough to get out of League 1 but has always struggled to step it up in The Championship when most teams are just as physically good and have the extra bit of class to break a team down, he doesn't have that extra bit of nous to work a way round it so his sacking will likely give them a bit of a shot in the arm.

Sacking your manager just after the transfer window shuts is just bizarre.

Really bad news for us. They'll be a rejuvenated team on Tuesday.
 
I’m not sure a new manager is likely to make an impact between now and Tuesday.
I assume they will travel to Norwich today, then rest on Sunday. That gives a new manager, if appointed, one day to change things.
 
Doesn't pay to be a promoted manager in the Championship.
Yep, it does very clearly show just how big a jump the Champ is tactically. Karl “tactics” Robinson got a team promoted and swiftly relegated as he couldn’t adapt. Warne consistently produces excellent League 1 teams.

Des “get it out to the wingers” tactic stopped working with no wingers.

There’s no shame in it. It’s a hard league where it’s increasingly tactical, where the players don’t have the tech capability of the prem.

We are so lucky to have a manager who knows exactly what this league needs.
 
Or we could just focus on our own game?

We’re solid under Rowett. A few pieces of the jigsaw are missing and we have weak spots but overall we’re competitive and have proven we can find avenues to win or at least not lose.

I don’t think we need to worry about ‘new managerial bounces’ and the like.
Statistics say there in no such thing as the new-manager bounce. However, if you throw GR's MOTM award into the mix... I can see how a superstitious person may have a bad feeling about this.
