Submerge Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 OK, just got sacked in my 5th season from my PSG job. In my 5th season I qualified from the Champs League groups, not out of either domestic cup, but was sitting 7th in the league when I was told by the board to win the title (so fair play, kind of). In my seasons 1-4 I finished 2nd every season, won the Coupe de France once, and thats it. So no real silverware to write home about. BUT. Looking at the PSG history pre 2010 they havent won anything since 1993 (ish), were always mid table or lower table fighting relegation. So to be honest if I look what I have done I have revolutionised the club, got top quality finishes, won (somthing), got them from no Europe to qualification from the Champions League groups. (I know I didnt win the league, which is clearly the biggest factor in my sacking). Therefore, does the game ever consider what you have done based on pre game performances?, or is it purely based on what you do from your first day in management? I assume its the latter, but what do people think? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oi_oi_ginger_roy Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 I guess they are grateful for what you've done but they probably now expect to push on to the next level and maybe feel you're not doing a good enough job to do that....Look at Mourinho, sacked despite guiding Chelsea to their first Premiership title (twice) as well as the League Cup (twice) & the FA Cup So its not unrealistic.

Wolfrain Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Mourinho got sacked because he fell out with the owner, not because "he couldn't take the club to the next level". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCIAG Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 No, it does not. Each club has a reputation, based largely on recent years. This sort of reflects the club's current standings, and therefore expectations. You've raised the expectations, and then failed to keep up. It's harsh. Whether it happens or not should depend on your board- are they ambitious? Loyal? Have they put lots of cash in? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe.....he was offered a role "upstairs" but turned it down Then there's Avram Grant, also sacked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
emiloprisa Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Look at Mourinho, sacked despite guiding Chelsea to their first Premiership title (twice) How can you guide a team to their first Premiership twice? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CityAndColour Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Surely no one believes Mourinho was 'sacked' for anything on-field related? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
