Big Sam being sacked tomorrow and replaced with Silva according to SSN.
Fat Sam for Arsenal please.
It always fascinates me with Big Sam how much fans get on his back.
At Bolton when he could actually get the players he wanted they played some good stuff with some real flair players.
He goes in and sorts the basics out but clubs don't seem to want to give him the chance to build and add the flair.
With some money behind him I wonder if he could have really got Everton going but seems they got what they needed out of him and now trying out a shiny new toy and hoping it don't go pear-shaped (again).
And why did Derby sack McClaren as thought he was quite popular there having gone back? (he is a bit weird though).
Actually, having gone on qprdotorg, I have to admit that the reaction was mostly positive. I suppose that I was largely judging him on his England tenure (a job that has destroyed many a good manager) and Newcastle (where he was seen as a Yes Man for Ashley).TBF if you were to ask QPR fans and Derby Fans what they think of McLaren, they would all praise him. This is a case of a manager who needs the right environment to do well but also someone who is appreciated by his fans but mocked by outsiders
Again ask QPR fans, of his influence when he was there and they will all say the same, as soon as he left the wheels fell off
I think a lot of Derby fans wouldn't mind him back at derby, Derby is one of the best supported clubs in the championship for the last 10 years and yet if you look at the attendance and it has been poor. Despite many fans praising Rowett, watching him week in week out has been poor.
Dont get me wrong he is amazing at setting his teams up defensively but there is no joy, good play going forward and not much development.

Wagner is apparently also on both Everton and Leicester's shortlists.It looks like there's going to be quite a few managerial changes over the summer - Arsenal, Everton, Leicester, West Ham and possibly Newcastle, Huddersfield* & Southampton. Not sure if Watford are thinking about another change, but it wouldn't surprise me.
* Wagner seems to be wanted by a few clubs back in Germany.

For being too successful and having a mad man as an owner, Mel Morris whilst being a fan and imo english gets a pass from a lot of flack whereas foreign owners get chastised for doing the same thing like Watford's ownersAnd why did Derby sack McClaren as thought he was quite popular there having gone back?

Dyche could be on a few shortlists as well. Half the division could have new managers by the start of the season.

i just can't imagine Dyche leaving this summer, I think he'll love the Europa League challenge.I could see Leicester going for Dyche if Puel leaves/gets sacked.
Yep....Big Sam gone...nice little earner for him...Marco Silva rumoured to be the desired replacement but ill feeling between the two clubs after Everton's last approach for him may mess things up.
Silva isn't still at Watford, why should the conflict from last autumn matter at all?Yep....Big Sam gone...nice little earner for him...Marco Silva rumoured to be the desired replacement but ill feeling between the two clubs after Everton's last approach for him may mess things up.
