Sage SACKED, according to reports

[HeathMan]

Frank will join either today or tomorrow.

Thankfully not someone from the entertainment industry.

Nothing personal against Sage, never met him, but when I see and hear him being interviewed he lacked any personality and carisma. If I was playing for him he certainly would not inspire or motivate me. Let’s hope the new manager, who ever that may be can organise the defence a dam sight better than the current performances we witness and get us going.

Never nice for anyone to lose their job but for me he had to go, l got the feeling the players did not like playing for him. We move on, season starts now. Wish Sage all the best, it just didn’t work.

When you watch his early training sessions he was working them very hard ,quite rightly you might think ? But sounds as though he was over the top and had late sessions,Sounds like some players didn't like his methods

Glasner seemed better with his man management.

I noticed the other day that Conor Wickham was looking for a new club.... just saying

🤣

No silly, that was Conor of West Wickham is looking for a club 😁

 

[Eagle-Trucker]

He can come back, score enough goals to keep us from getting relegated, then f*** the f***ing f*** off.

🤣🤣 Nice to see you are getting the hang of the local dialect there Pat, and so soon . 🤣

If I had to guess, I'd say that you can work them as hard as you like for however many hours, and maybe even treat them a bit offhandedly, if (and ONLY if) they can see that you know what you are doing and your methods will bring success.

I'd think that was perhaps the fundamental problem.

Agree think they were unsure of his methods/tactics.

Don't think he had any.

Yahoo? Yippee.
Let's hope TF doesn't turn in to WTF.

Thanks - Very clever 😀

If we go for Frank, is he the right choice? Failed at Spurs and did he rely on Andrew at Brentford?? I have doubts and hope I am wrong

I don't think Keith Andrews was actually there for that much of his tenure. Possibly only the final season. I'm sure Willo can advise on this...

Sympathies go to anyone who had a bet on Sage being the first PL manager to be sacked this season. Close, but no cigar.

I had glasner thought i was in with his outburst . but the fat man , back from lunch agreed with him . What are the odds

There all a risk .Top clubs can't get it right.We got lucky with Glasner .We could get Arteta and still manage to get relegated.

If it was Arteta it wouldn't seem so bad. Just watching him squirm would make it almost worthwhile.

Recently every manager has failed at Spurs and the jury's still out in De Zerbi despite the £300m spent in the Summer.

As to your question re Andrews, he only joined Brentford in the Summer of 2024 as set piece coach, so no, Frank didn't rely on him for most of his tenure at Brentford as they only worked together for a year.

Yes he would only pull them off if they done well 🤔
