Managerial Merrygoround Thread

Let it go will you.

Ralph Hasenhuttl, ex of RB Leipzig, looks to be taking over at Southampton.

The British Talksport brigade will be apoplectic.

Hassenhuttl it is

He’s the chap that goes spying on the opposition with binoculars.

When their reporter broke the news the other morning that this fella was the likely candidate some frantic Wikipedia work started in the studio. They went through the list of clubs he played for and when they got to Bayern Munich Jim White proudly boasted that he remembered him as a player alright, though Dean Saunders couldn’t place him. The amusing part was this lad only played for Bayern Munich II, the team that plays in the German 3rd division - shows the incredible depth of Jim’s knowledge on journeymen footballers.

Probably the most overdue sacking in the history of football.

That’s harsh. He kept Reading in the Championship last season after inheriting an utter shambles and a side in freefall from Jaap Stam.

They finished in the exact same position as they were in when Stam got sacked and Clement only got around a point a game in the games he had. Stam had also led that Reading team to the playoffs the previous year. Would you not just accept defeat on this one?

I merely remarked he did a good job keeping Reading up last season. When he took over, Reading were in freefall, no win in 9 and just 1 win in 18. Clement got two wins in his first three matches and bagged the points to keep Reading up.

Clement has been sacked at Derby, Swansea and Reading now. He lasted less than a year in each job. He is a failure.

He’s a great lad to get the cones out for a proper manager like Ancelotti though.
