This seems quite similar to how Rodgers eventually left Liverpool. His main assistant Pascoe was sacked after an underwhelming season and he was given Sean O’Driscoll and Gary McAllister (two guys who had been managers - the latter was a decorated ex-player for the club) and within three months, Rodgers was sacked and those two guys also.
I'm saying he won't be happy having new assistants foisted upon him. If that is the case, which it may not be.
If you go back to the posts which you got into a hissy fit with - my point wasn't just around transfers. We are operating under a new game model that's decided by a new Technical Director. This means transfers and style is tweaked this model, which makes it less comparable to Arteta's continuity.
Well, there's no question about interims to interims anymore if we decide to sack Ten Hag. One of RvN or Hake will step in.Collecting failed Dutch managers like infinity stones
He is 52, so I doubt that. He is basically the same age as Pep Guardiola and still just an assistant manager, so cannot be that very rated.
I thought they were saying the issue with VDG is that he and ETH had a "bad cop / bad cop" dynamic, and so it would make sense to replace him with an "arm around the shoulders" type assistant who's known for communication with the players. Doesn't seem like the case, going by this.
I explained the circumstances where managers replace their main coaches. SAF never had his replaced for him at the request of the board.
That will have some of our lot running for cover
This is my question too actually. It seemed like the concern was the bad cop / bad cop dynamic. His work around video analysis, pressing coaching etc. was still highly valued per that Athletic article recently. I thought we'd get rid of McLaren for some arm around the shoulder type guy. Maybe Ruud has that charisma, who knows? But why get rid of VDG?
Well fair enough that could explain it.
Romano has given the here we go on these changes
I think you are making assumptions .
Any mention of transfers in Whitwell article?

No Ashworth hasn’t finished his garden yet
Your commitment to moaning in this thread is admirable
Of course EtH had a hand in picking them but from the reports, the decision for the existing coaches to be replaced was one taken above him.
He’s going the break so many - fantastic appointment
Dortmund made that move last winter when they brought in Nuri Sahin as assistant to Terzic. Sahin was managing in Turkey at the time.
Sure, I generally agree that it would take more than one window, my post was intentional hyperbole which I thought was obvious. I didn't really think your post was that stupid, though maybe it came off a bit silly in that it seemingly predicts the future.
No, still quiet on that front, at least from our end
He should become Portugal's coach
Hate that Hake guy already. Such an a-hole coach, humiliating that guy in front of the camera. Dude was crying as well. You can't treat people like that, ever.
I assume you're joking. Sometimes hard to tell.
What's stupid about it? I said we wont be able to completely fix this squad in one window. That's less of a far-fetched prediction and more of an observation of reality.
I was dead serious. We're in the year 2024 now. You can't do that, ever. Hopefully you don't have a boss who humiliates you in front of your co-workers and in front of the cameras.
Actually, joke or not, i agree with @Unam333 . I am all for yelling in general to make a point but screaming at someone (and throwing insults at him) is a no go. If i was that player, no way i would let them (managers) do that shit. Guy is an idiot.
They can only do so much. Case in point: Carrick and McKenna under both Mourinho and Ole.
This video is clear example of mobbing. In any other job this idiot would be sacked. And funny how people have different views about some things;
There’s definitely a significant gap in respect that your average worker gets from an average human being versus how players are perceived by majority of football fans these days. Footballers are often disliked, even by their own fans, perceived as spoiled prima donnas who did nothing to deserve the money they earn or the fame, so it’s no surprise that people enjoy seeing them being humiliated.
Yeah, thank god SAF never did that.

Different times really. Things change. A lot has changed in workplace dynamics for the last 20 years.
SAF knew when to be the angry drill sergeant and when to be the kind, loving grandpa
