Sacked after 10 games with a 50% win record!!!

Whilst playing a save with Arsenal I noticed that Michael Bridges had been appointed manager of Kidderminister (ex Leeds player is why I took particular notice) but less than 2 months later and 10 games later poor old Michael Bridges is sacked despite having won 5 out the 10 games drawing 2 and losing the other 3, scoring 15 and conceding 7, know I looked and Kidderminister are now in the Blue Square North and were expected to finish 1st and currently lay 15th but surely 10 games isnt sufficient time for Bridges to turn it round, he was given from 7th November to the 29th December so not even given a transfer window!

is this one of the harshest sacking ever?

Tell him to apply to QPR if he thinks it is harsh:D

It does seem a little quick but who knows what the chairman is like- he wont be the first or last to get the sack despite results.

why harsh? if he had chosen to get the title it is very normal to happen. Even in real life in Greece, many teams chenge 4-5 amangers per year. Not correct but realistic

No that was the other managers choice - he only came in in Nov.

But in the BSN? Maybe in Greece, but in England, I don't think I've seen 5 managers at a club in one season before

Still, if the plans of the chairman, players and fans were of winning the title, his management was worth sacking.

As for Greece, yes.... not always but many many many times a manager has been sacked after playing and losing only 1-2 games

Leicester had 4 the season we got relegated. (Martin Allen, Gerry Taggart Gary Megson, Ian Holloway) But that was extreme. (Taggart caretaker, Megson went to Bolton)

Allen lasted 3 and a half games. (Carling cup match vs Forest was postponed due to Clarke having a heart attack in the dressing room at half time)

1 win, 1 draw, 1 loss. And he left by 'Mutual Consent' - Basically sacked

Maybe the losses were all against rivals?

Graham westley got sacked by Rushden and Diamonds after 13 games with a win percentage of 66% and when sacked they were 9 games unbeaten. Chairmen are weird folk.

I dont think its that harsh. Even the legendary brian clough was sacked as leeds manager after just 44 days

Kevin Keegan

Chris Hughton

Joe Kinnear

Chris Hughton and Colin Calderwood

Alan Shearer

5 Managers. One Season. :o

Kevin Keegan

Chris Hughton and Colin Calderwood

More like just Chris Hughton. 4 managers, 1 season.

so, the greek is not the only corrupted league...

arsenal 1996/1997 had 4. Bruce Rioch, Chris Houghton, Pat Rice and Wenger

Something more went on there though if I remember right, wasn't down to footballing reasons.

No matter if this sort of thing has happened or will happen again, it's still seems extremely harsh.

50% and expectation was auto promotion, well the board at Kidderminster were no mugs and realised you wont get far on only 50%, think it was not harsh and was the right decision.

I think you'd have to call it harsh, but you can still see the reasoning - it's not wholly unreasonable.

Haven't you heard of QPR?

qpr change their managers more time thans i changed boxer however yesterday i got sacked without playing a game

He sounds like a poor manager if he only won half his games.

This happens alot in Brazil ppl get fired left and right.

I was sacked as Man City manager after 9 league games, then went on to manage Burnely to promotion out of the CCC, survive 1st season in Prem, then go down:(

How about being sacked with a 66.67% win record and top of the league 3 games into the job.

He sounds like a poor manager if he only won half his games.

DO you realise that will get a team into the playoffs?

3 Nottm Forest 41 20

4 Cardiff 41 20

5 Swansea 41 15

6 Leicester 41 16

Please don't assosciate Chris Houghton with Arsenal. The person you are thinking of is Stewart Houston. He had been Rioch's assisstant was due to be caretaker manager until Wenger could start, but was offered of the job of manager of QPR, so the club did not stand in his way of a permanent manager position (where he appointed Rioch as his assisstant in a bizarre role-reversal). Pat Rice, who had previously been in charge of the club's youth team, took the caretaker role, was made assisstant manager on Wenger's arrival and remains in that position today.

Just wanted to clear that up.
