FlUoReScEnT aDoLeScEnT Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Anybody else notice odd board decisions? I was just sacked as manager of Waterford United in the irish first division. No big deal, i half expect it at that level, but my objective was to avoid relegation and i was 4 points and 2 places above the drop zone with a game in hand, i was into the final of the Munster Senior Cup after beating the current champions of Ireland and that cup Cork City 2-0. To make matters even worse it would have been my first cup final in that LLM career and if i won then my first cup giving my rep a big boost i reckon...and it was only 2 days before the final, not even like they could get in a decent replacement in time to steady the ship. Anyway they lost in the final to limmerick 3-0 and my rep is now regional but has anyone else experienced a decision as badly thoughtout as this one?

Slims Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 That does sound silly. U thought their would of waited till after the cup final. I once got sacked after taking over at stockport in league 1. Their were relegated with 5 games to go so i thought i take over the challenge of promotion next season and after i won the last 5 games i got sacked even though the last manager sent them down!!!!!!!!

Shanksie1975 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I've had a kinda similar silly happening. Brazil offered me the chance to manage them on the eve of the World Cup final in which i was due to play as England. As if anyone would resign :S. Brazil got knocked out in the quarter finals, surely they would have waited 24 hours?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure you had leagues below active? It automatically sacks you if you get relegated out of a playable league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rohkey Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 I remember making a bid of like...$12 million or so for Altidore when he was 19. Coach refused, but board stepped in saying offer was too good. He's now a top 3 striker in the PRM. 1st season, asked the board for better youth facilities, as my training facilities were tops but my youth was only 'good.' They told me I should focus more on coaching making board requests. At that point I was like 22-4-0 in the PRM and essentially had it locked up already, along with being undefeated the entire year (if aggregates are counted instead of individual games). I applied for the Ivory Coast coaching job after WC 2010, they rejected me. A few months later I applied for the English job, got accepted. Led them to both Confederations and Euro Cup glory, and qualified for WC 2014 by winning my group in a final thriller against Scotland. England is now ranked #1.
