Thread: Over a full season, a manager 'fluke' a promotion

  1. #1

    Over a full season, a manager 'fluke' a promotion

    Serious question this.

    What if a manager had no plan, no idea, no vision yet landed at the right club at the right time and through the skill of his players or backroom staff, somehow gained a title / promotion/ trophy before the mask slipped and he was revealed to be totally clueless.

    Has this ever happened?

    If so who were the freeloading managers who fluked success?

    So why not name him/her and cut out all the cloak and dagger stuff?

    I often think would Burnley have won promotion back to the prem league with someone like Warne incharge instead of kompany. Or was it all the players.

    No is the answer, but I'm sure the OP knows that.

    Ranieri at Leicester?

    Beginning to think that Matt Taylor hoodwinked us all. There were flashes of a method but as the weeks go by I am beginning to think he fluked it at Exeter

    Speak for yourself. I never could never see what the method was the entire time he was here. As I've said before, Warne was often criticised for having no Plan B, I still don't know what Taylors Plan A was.
