They are failures, that’s why they got the sack and are now in the dole queue. Then why are these sort of managers always wanted by other clubs ? Dean Smith the latest one to be linked with mission impossible just off Leckwith Road. I just don’t understand. It’s the same or even worse in the Premier League. The merry go round at that level goes beyond, as far as I can see.
Would you employ a failure ? I wouldn’t.
I think that even the most successful managers will have failed somewhere. Learning and development.Quote:

He might still turn out to be a half decent manager, if that what he wants to do, but the best way of learning any trade is by starting at the bottom and working your way up, whilst gaining the right experience on the way.
When I lived in the NE of England there was a similar merry-go-round of Working Mens Club Stewards.
One would get sacked, usually because of some "Accounting discrepancy", and the next thing you'd know is that he'd appear at the club down the road. I went on all the time.
I could never understand it either
I think I asked the question on here a few years ago. What makes a successful manager? Is it tactical acumen, man management, a mixture of both, good luck or something indefinable? I still don't know.
and a matter of swings and roundabouts.Quote:

It could be looked at as an experience from which they could learn and develop.
The nature of the sport though, they could be manager of the year and sacked by the following Christmas.
I agree some seem to be picked up time and again. It's all nepotism.
It's mostly because the failed managers are out of work and available. There's no contract to buy them out of.
It's this sort of thinking that got us Morison and HudsonQuote:
