Most absurd managerial sacking you can think of.

Lando Griffin

Roddy Collins at Bohs after winning the league and cup double.

the allerdyce sacking was indeed mental

in an odd way the Steve Kean sacking afterwards was also mental. He should have been sacked the end of the first season he was in when we almost got relegated. He should have been sacked at any stage during his full season when we did get relegated. But to sack him when we were second place in the Championship and looking at promoting straight back up....

Now THAT is completely insane!!!!

There was other factors at play there though.

Del Bosque for me

done nothing since :pac:

Rumours abound of another ridiculous sacking for Carlo's CV in the near future.

Equium

Surely Zamparini's tenure as Palermo owner is worth a mention. He has sacked 18 managers since taking over in 2002, and 51 in his 24 years as a club owner overall. He also has a habit of hiring, firing and then rehiring managers. This season Gian Piero Gasperini was sacked, replaced by Alberto Malesani for three weeks, and then rehired... For just over two weeks!

The strangest thing is that Palermo had been reasonably stable on the field until last year. Now they're struggling against relegation, whilst Zamparini is struggling to find managers that he hasn't already blamed for the team's shortcomings.

Think it was Leroy Rosenior who was hired as Torquay manager only to be told 10 minutes later that the main shareholder had sold the club and he was sacked immediately.

Mad vlad sacked Graeme rix when hearts were top of the league after 10 games iirc. I know he was facing some charges at the time, but that didn't stop him being hired in the first place so don't think it was a factor in his sacking

Don't know if mentioned already, but st Mirren probably regret sacking that ferguson bloke. I reckon he had the potential to dominate (by that I mean come second) once rangers died

Last season, Shamrock Rovers sacked a manager who has previously won the League of Ireland.

This season they are in a relegation battle with a manager who had never managed before while Stephen Kenny is flying with Dundalk.

What an absurd football club!!

I'd say Leeds fans would have been looking at Forest and kicking themselves in the 70's for getting rid of Brian Clough, he might have even taken them further with them being a bigger club as well.

Two off the top of my head are Ancelotti from Chelsea and Del Bosque from Madrid.

the fans wanted Kenny out though, so it's the fans that are absurd.

Antoine Karambouaré got sacked from PSG despite being top of ligue 1.

There was an ex West Ham player in last month's four four two that got sacked hours after being appointed as the chairman that hired him sold the club.

They had Carlo Ancelotti lined up to replace him. Hardly absurd.

Neil Warnock - OPR

QPR gave Mark Hughes plenty of resources to build a team while Warnock got nada. Mark Hughes was a flop and if Warnock was given the vast resources Hughes got I'd say he would of done a better job.

G.K.

Warnock's no better.

The 10 minute Torquay manager. I hope he got his wages:pac:

How could I not mention rangers when discussing competition at the top of the Scottish league over the last 20 years?

Lee Clarke at huddersfield, sacked when on the verge of promotion and having broken several performance records at the club (43 games un beaten was one)

Was reading a interview with him a few weeks ago where he was asked about this and he said that he knew the chairman at Torquay very well (he had already worked there) and he asked him could he come in and manage the club on a short term basis. It could have been for a day or a few weeks. Rosenior did the press conference and 10 mins later the chairman phoned him and said he sold the club out of the blue.
He said he knew exactly what he was getting into and that the whole experience was great for him because his profile went up and he got plenty of work from it.

Really so we are talking about a manager that was never going to see out his career in Scotlan as some figure of rightioness to hit out at Rangers

I really frail to see SAF getting the sack from St Mirren would have had any effect on Rangers considering after he was sacked he went to Aberdeen had a glittering career and left. This point of his is garbage because we never had any troubles up until last year and who's to say it would not have affected Celtic more as they are the team that have had troubles on the park in the last twenty years.

padd b1975

Alan Curbishley at Charlton.

Sir Bobby Robson at Newcastle.

Benny at Liverpool.

Mourinho at Chelsea.


















Ron Atkinson at United.

Jupp Heynckes when he won the CL with Madrid.

And Bayern had hoofed him out before, even though he had won two leagues and they sold the team from under him.

Chelsea getting rid of Mourinho or Ancellotti

Real Madrid's cycle of managers has had some gems in it, including Del Bosque

Have to say Del Bosque one was bad.
He has two CLs, 1 intercontinal cup, 1 supercup, finished top 4 CLs every year and two La Ligas and had just one won days before he was fired supposedly because of exhaustion.
The guy had given his life to the club.

Ancellotti's and Mourninho's exits from Chelski are also notable.

I would also say Bobby Robson from Sporting Lisbon when they were on top of the league and after he left he went to Porto where he led them to the title two years in a row.

the sacking of Mick McCarthy by Wolves , looks a bit stupid today !

bit of a bogey

He failed time and time again to get promotion. They sacked him and went straight up - fully justified IMO. That 'unbeaten' record didn't include the games he lost in the playoffs either.
