Better than the sack race
Better than the sack race
OK heres a better game called WHO GETS A JOB!
Yes those managers that make you run a mile or slit your
wrists when they are linked to your club. These guys always seem to
get a job despite being rubbish. So this season its not who gets
the sack but who gets the job. You can have any no hoper you want.
They have to be crap though so no Rafas, Wengers or Maureens.
Rules:
10 points for a premiership job. 8 for a championship, 6 for
league 1, 4 for league 2, and 2 for The" Razzle Readers Wives
league" or what ever the conference is sponsored by these
days.
Also 4 points for a Director of football job in the
premiership, 2, for championship and 1 for the rest.
6 points for a decent job in Scotland.
10 points for Serie A or La Liga.
3 points for a "footballer Ambassador" type job
-5 points for a pundit job.
-10 points for becoming a scumbag agent
-10 points for taking over, with a porn baron's
money, some poor-bastard club.
Here are my list of the obvious quality managers in the
running feel free to add your own:
a) Glenn Roeder
b) Neil Warnock
c) Graeme Souness
d) Peter Reid
e) Gary Megson
The one who wins is the one who gets the most points.
Mine is Glenn Roeder to get a championship job at some point
this season. Also feel free to add/make up rules.

bloody hell Fortean, you must have had a few coffees to come up

later

Yeah unfortunately coffee is the only buzz I'm allowed these
days 
oh yeah Jesus son of god christ on a bike how could I
forget:
f) David O'leary
so you guys nominating Paul Jewel and Kevin Keegan then or
picking someone else? For what type job would your nominated person
get?
Like I said I'm going for that Giant of the English game
Roeder for a championship job which is 8 points. This game is a bit
like fantasy manager and a lot like fantasy bloody crap
manager.
OK - how many points for being made a national coach?
Glen Hoddle - league 1
(or as a diplomat)
just wondering fortean, how many runners can each stable owner have in the race at any one time?
would 3 work?
or could you have one donkey but nominate them for 3 different
types of job?
and when one of your 3 gets a job, or moves beyond the planet
- you get to replace them??

Use this link for all you managerial goodies - includes a rather
extensive list of unemployed managers + their career history
National Job hmmm tis a poison chalice after all what do people think 8 points for England ? 2 points for the faroe Islands? something like that. I think it would be fun to have Peter Reid becoming head coach for Japan. I'd say that would have to be a 6er.
I reckon one job one person.
That is a great resource Uber. 
Feel free guys to make up rules as long as they
reasonable

ok i reckon martin jol - after he is sacked- assistant coach -
netherlands- i reckon thats worth 8 points
sorry
paul jewell championship for 8 points please
paul jewell championship for 8 points please
Blimey should have started this game earlier. Megson has
got the job at leicester, thats 8 points!
I am amazed that Megson has got in at Bolton, the old boy
network is alive and well. What next bearing in mind that the
Spurs job is open as is the Ireland job?
ForteanTimes2007-10-29 16:16:25
So by my own rules then Megson has scored an unbelievable 18
points then? Will this ever be beaten?
Predictions for Spurs job - Easy.
Predictions for Ireland Job - Money is on O'Leary although he
is not popular with the fans.

I'm amazed that you remembered we were playing Fortean T
hey I know, how about every Leeds manager from the last 10 years
(except for our current one)!.
Potential:
O'Leary
Graham (probably not involved in management anymore, but dodgy
when he was!)
Venables
WOOOHOOOO!!!!!!
Did I not say Glenn Roeder for a Championship job when I
started this thread?
As Yoda would say
"Fortean-Mystic Meg are you".
BTW he got the job at Norwich, poor old Norwich
Get on them for a win this week though.
1. ITFC Shocking away record.
2. New manager motivating
3. I hate Norwich
Go to the TAB and get on the budgies. My 'lock' of the week.

Yeah worth a bob or 2 on that.
Even though the idea of Roeder "motivating" makes my brain
hurt.
It really shows what a lack of quality we have in homegrown
English Management. The same old faces doing crap jobs, getting
sacked/"leaving by mutual consent" and turning up at another club
for the same old merry-go-round. How many decent English
managers are there at the moment 5 at the most? Its
depressing.

Yeah there's been alot of media releases this week critising
Tottenham for signing Ramos. Too many foreigners taking
positions that should be made available for English managers.
I feel that Wise would have been a better choice.
The Managers Association wants all the Prem Club owners to
stop buying non British!
I agree.

What you want to get rid of him at Leeds then? , can't
blame you there
, can't
blame you thereThat would have been a bold move from the Spurs
board with the charming player/manager having played for Wimbledon,
Chelsea and Millwall. It would have been on the same scale as
when George Graham managed them a few years back,(almost). Still he
never played for Arsenal I guess thats one redeeming feature
if you are a Spurs fan.
