Wigan Sack Rosler - merged

[Ernest]

Bowing to fan pressure. Rosler is a good manager.

All 161 of them

Another club realising foreign managers struggle to get clubs out of this division, whose top? Oh yeah Derby Steve Mcclaren, Bournemouth Eddie Howe
last year
Pearson Leicester
Dyhce Burnley
Redknapp QPR

Some one will probably reply that's bullshit as I've seen posted on here before, but IMO and pretty much a fact except Di Matteo getting WBA promoted all the promoted sides over the last 10 years have had British managers, managers who know the division and what's required to get out of it

Except that Rosler is a really bad example of the point that you're trying to prove - because he spent two and a half years of his playing career in the Championship (playing for Man City and West Brom) and managed successfully in League One. He's got much more in common with those British managers that you promote than the likes of Di Matteo, Poyet or Hyppia.

Experience of English football, free agent, what's not to like? Get him in.

 

[T soprano]

use british, it gets you up

 

[humpy]

Unfortunately all i see is a club presently below us results taking an upturn and with our next 3 fixtures we could possibly be in serious doo doo

Ridiculous short termist decision like those calling for Hyypiä's head on here.

 

[Westdene Seagull]

I wonder if the choice had been Hyypia or Rosler when Oscar buggered off who TB would have picked ? I suspect we might well have had a different manager.

I suspect Rosler came with a higher price tag.

 

[flying high]

I dont think he will go but ifHypia was to go I would be happy if Rosler replaced him.

At the time Rosler wouldn't have even considered us. He had got Wigan into the play offs after a very good run of results following on from a miserable start under the clueless Coyle. His family home is in The North West and his sons play in the Man City Academy. He'd lived in a flat in London during his time at Brentford and longed for a bigger job in the North West. He's extremely well respected in the game and I expect a number of clubs in the North West will now be looking at him.

Having said that, his stock will now have reduced. I wonder if a job with a progressive Championship club in the South with a huge fan base (compared with Wigan) came available, would he be interested? I expect he might. It's not as if he isn't prepared to move if he needed to. He started his managerial career in Norway (albeit his wife is Norweign, and very fit by the way!)

Sami will be given another three games, at least, but if those results are poor then I expect Uwe may be getting a call.

If Rosler couldn't be a success with Wigan's budget what hope would he have with ours?

Did he have a big budget at Brentford granted a division lower? Wigan were good against us last season and deserved at least a draw this but as we have found out you dont always get what you deserve. I think he would get CMS and Baldock firing and scoring

Big difference. Many have succeeded in L1 and L2 and their predecessors and failed at this level. Brentford have done OK without him too.

Is that because he built the foundation and their manager,who was an internal promotion, kept it going.

 

[Caveman]

thats because the majority of managers have been british

you might as well go and say that the majority of players who have been promoted from the championship since its inception have been british - it means **** all

Not so sure, I think British managers prefer a 4 4 2 formation which seems to work in this league. Be interesting to see the stats on nationality of managers in this division now and what percentage has also been over the last couple of seasons. I think you'll find there have been a fair few foreign managers in there.

 

[saafend_seagull]

Will now have a new manager syndrome to send us into the bottom 3. Sami will go if we are there after this next set of tough games.

 

[The Modfather]

That's bizarre, he didn't mention breaking his leg in the FA cup final once

20% of managers were foreign last season in the Championship. Over the past two seasons foreign managers represent 56% of the total number of foreign managers in the Championship

In the running for new post, looks like they've realised being a BRITISH manager gets you out of this division

 

[AZ Gull]

119% of that statement doesn't make sense, and the remaining 57% is just wrong.
