Managerial Movers and Shakers (2020-21)

[Ericsladkilnhurst]

If you trace it back Arsenal's woes started when they moved to the Emerates

Due to the cost of building the ground and moving their Board put restrictions on transfers with managers not getting their ideal first choice signings. As a consequence it started a slow but steady decline for them.

Another decline in Arsenal, was never getting a good centre back in, after Tony Adams.
Many a Arsenal fan I have spoken to, when I said to them about Arsenal going downhill, they have always said they knew
what I was going to say, regarding a centre back.
Seems strange the fans knew, but the coaching staff did not.

I tipped Tranmere to get promotion, when Keith Hill took over has manager.

Keith Hill a good manager, ideal for Doncaster Rovers, who lost the plot after losing their manager to Wednesday's.

The reason for him going is they think it’s the best chance they have got going into 2 or 3 games in the play offs…if it works fans won’t probably mind as much,but if it backfires the board will get pelters…

Well it worked for Spurs going into a cup final didn”t it……. …not ..!.

I reckon the real reason hill left will be contractual to be honest..

Not so sure about that ELK. They were losing the plot before Moore left. Only 1 point from 18 in the 6 games before he left.

He’s been sacked however they word it.
Apparently it’s best for the club.

Chairman Mark Palios said: “Despite success achieved on the pitch in the form of securing a place in the Play-Offs and reaching the Papa John’s Trophy final, in the Play-Offs an entire season gets distilled into two or three games.


“I have to do what I think gives us the best chance of achieving promotion in those games and I have reluctantly come to the conclusion that means making the change before the semi-finals begin.”

Ian Dawes will take charge for the Play-Offs and will be assisted by Andy Parkinson.
