samo II Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 It was that FA Cup quarter final that did for him. Not going great in the league, but had they pulled off a semi final place, I think he'd have been given more time. Shame really, as he did alright there. Reckon he'll be back in charge somewhere soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazred Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 He was L1 manager of the year when he took them up. Even with a poor run this season he still as a 40%+ win ratio. He won't be out of work for very long unless he chooses to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS34Red Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Was discussing a contract extension and then they sacked him? Seems strange. They also expect to have someone appointed by tommorow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeh Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 shame that, good manager imo' done wonders at Charlton with the restructions they had (budget etc), he won't be out of work for long I suspect he will return to a League 1/championship club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prankerd Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 I really wonder how they think changing a manager at this stage after the transfer window is best to avoid the drop... Fa cup qf and 4games in hand I think they got?? Just so he can bring in his Belgium mate it is footy is shite now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbs Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Oh christ, Sol currently adding an extra chapter to his book... I love the fact as soon as I clicked on the article he was there! If we go by the demographics of England/Wales (and assuming that everything is, unrealistically, equal) then 3% of football managers would be black and 7% Asian. Just saying.

JM91 Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 I love the fact as soon as I clicked on the article he was there! If we go by the demographics of England/Wales (and assuming that everything is, unrealistically, equal) then 3% of football managers would be black and 7% Asian. Just saying. Extending this point, black participation is significantly higher than the % they make up of the national demographic in sport at elite level and in terms of playing. I think it's apparent that many are getting tired of what has become known to be the race card but just to play devil's advocate it would be more accurate to say that there is a barrier to young white players reaching the elite level of football in England than to say that there is a barrier to black footballers becoming managers. Also, feel like it needs pointing out that the way in which the media covers some of these issues (e.g basically advertising Sol's book, the league of black lawyers, Garth Crook's ludicrously misleading opinions) actually stir up the problem, rather than solve it.

Who Are Rovers? Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 English football is just the cover, the percentage of English, or even British people in the 'English' game decreases by the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
