Yes that was a mad decision considering his level of stability

Claude Anelka. Admittedly, more brother of a celebrity than actual celebrity. Invested money into Raith then appointed himself manager. Resigned after one draw and seven defeats from eight games.

Merson at Walsall was pretty bad, by his own admission.

Roy Keane? Lasted a bit longer at Sunderland and Ipswich then some of the others but seemed to run on "buy ex-manure players" really, especially at Sunderland.

Dwight Yorke. Anywhere and doing any job. Village idiot.

Has only ever managed for one season and won the cup. Doesn't seem to be that much of a disaster.

Kettering. I went to one of the matches. V Stevenage (I think) in the cup. They lost. He said he was over his drinking addiction as he was only having a brandy or two during the day of the match.

That wasn't because Sven is a bad manager though, it was just basically a set up.

Quarter-final of a World Cup isn't too bad.

Also Roberto di Matteo at Chelsea. Hired on March 4th, 2012, sacked on 21st November, 2012 despite winning the Champions League.

What cup did Yorke win as a manager?

Well, intrigued by this I looked it up. He managed an Australian team in 22-23, whilst this Australian team won the cup in 2022 and 2024 which would suggest that they didn’t win it one year out of 3, the year Yorke was manager?

Unless wiki is wrong or the cup competition is done differently to here…

Post by: Somniloquism on October 15, 2024, 01:40:38 PM
It states in Dwight's wiki they won it. I expect the Aussie season is over one calendar year (ie March to October) rather then split like our season. So 2022-2023 is two seasons, not one specific one.

Yeah could be.
Saying that, they fucked him off quite sharpish or he lost internet pretty quickly though.

Anyway Gianfranco Zola, then Wayne Rooney a few years later. Not funny at all, honest !

There are bad connections in the Outback, I imagine, but he was surely somewhere urban and just to his liking.
