Title: Managers we have put to the sword
Post by: mattjpa on March 20, 2015, 10:47:50 AM

After the destruction of Gus Poyets Sunderland and his subsequent sacking was wondering, how many other managers have we loaded the gun for? Off the top of my head I can only think of Alan Shearer at Newcastle but there are bound to be a couple more over the years...

Bobby Robson too, IIRC.

Jol at Spurs, Bruce at Blues, both at roughly the same time as Mourinho

Jol was sacked a few weeks after we played them. We may have got him sacked if we hadn't thrown away that 4-1 lead on their birthday.

Gullit.

Thought it was Kevin Phillips that did for Gullit.

Jose Mourinho.

That was the first that came to mind for me too.
