Who'd want to be a football manager

[Skyedriver]

With another two managers parting company with their clubs today, it must be like living on a tightrope.

This. Both Amorim and Maresca could have resigned if so unhappy with their lot, but funnily enough they didn't and instead publicly complained about their employers instead..

Zero sympathy from me. They're in a result based business and get paid exceptionally well under employment contracts the rest of us can only dream about.

Me. Multiple year contract for guaranteed multiple millions of pounds? Who gives a f*** whether you’re any good or not? Certainly not the owners. I’ll have some of that all day long.

Yeah it's a win win, one of those jobs that can see you rewarded massively for getting sacked and failing and potentially moving to another club and doing it all again.

Pretty sure chances of re employment diminish with failure.

Emery seems to be doing well having failed at Arsenal and PSG?

Amorim and Maresca will walk into other jobs in no time.

Money Money Money Money Money!

… and they all licked their badges…

Pretty sure in football they absolutely do not.

Any Athletico Mince podcast fans? The British Manager's Lunch Club - "another destroy and exit successfully completed!" Money Money Money!

Nope, plenty of managers can walk straight into other jobs after being sacked. It helps if you were decent at one point but even if not, someone will still take a punt.
Nuno
Mourinho
Ole
Emery
Maresca
Poch
Conte
Tuchel
Rooney
Lampard
Gerrard
Wilder went to Sheffield Utd 3 times I think
Etc, etc

Doubt there's a manager who has managed for more than three seasons or so who hasn't been sacked at some point!

Diminishing is different to disappearing

May prove the exception after his tenure at Plymouth Argyle

Yes, but how many failures did he have before that? Basically, he's pretty much been each club's worst manager in their history.

Yeah a dreadful tightrope, mess it up and sit on your hands whilst waiting for the lottery win (your own sacking) must be awful, so much pressure!

[MC Bodge]

I know very little about football, but I'd give managing Man Utd a whirl for a couple of weeks, get the sack and then take the rest of the year off on the quarter of a million quid.

[Opapayer]

Every current manager in the Premier League (except for Guardiola who will quit) and probably every professional league in the World will be sacked within the next ten years. Every successor to any manager sacked in the next five years will also be sacked in the same ten year period.

Sacking isn’t just an occupational hazard it is a virtually an inescapable fact.

[Skyedriver]

Is that all you lot think about, money?
What about ambition, professional pride?

Yeh OK
You all missed out Nancy out of Celtic and O'Neill back in there again for the umpteenth time.

Sounds like you fit their search criteria based on past managers so you could be in with a shout.

That's what I was thinking. It would be an easy commute to the training ground and to Old Trafford too.
