OK, remove the word 'failing' then.....

This old argument about sticking with managers is utter tosh.

Nobody asks how much worse it might have got if the club stuck with the sacked manager.

What don't you understand about the thread? I was looking for examples where people who were doing great jobs and were inexplicably sacked and then a team has crashed. The examples I've given, the clubs clearly wouldn't have done as bad if they'd stuck with the manager
 

West Brom sacking Alan Irvine and replacing him Tony Pulis.
Chelsea sacking Mourinho and replaceing him with Hiddink and waiting for Conte.
Leicester sacking Pearson and appointing Ranieri.
Liverpool sacking Rodgers and appointing Klopp.

There's two side to it.

No but it does take a fool to look at a player who had been one of your best players that season and decide instead of buying him for £10m as a proven good player he would back the signing of a waste of space he had barely touched a ball for 2 years.

That's why they don't say "the grass isn't ever greener"

Sorry mate, but every failing manager that has ever been sacked would have turned into the next Alex Ferguson if their clubs had just given them more time. Every pundit and apologist fan knows this.

Fucks sake man. Yet another SMB fallacy.

Ki wasn't for sale and was going back to Swansea the second Laudrupp got peddled.

I don't know what we expect from inter-league loans unless we guarentee a price tag up front. The player comes to us and we do well/survive and the parent club gets a player full of confidence and experience back or we go down and cant afford them anyway
