charlo116 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Holger Osieck (current Australia manager) retired and was replaced by John Doyle, an Australian manager without much of a reputation. But then a year later he retired and was replaced by an Irish manager with an obscure reputation who'd just retired from playing in Ireland's lower leagues. :confused: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuinnRobot Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Absolutely brilliant thread! There's a couple of bizarre ones in my save. Some quite realistic too though. I'm not on my comp at the moment but as I remember it; Heskey is at Hull, Roy Keane patched things up with the Irish FA and took charge of the national team. With ruud van Nistelrooy replacing him at Ipswich. Rafa's returned to Liverpool to undo any progress Hodgson made before retiring But strangest of all, or maybe not, is United admitting that Sir Alex is irreplaceable by not bothering to try. He retired before the end of last season with the team top of the premier league. They offered me the role but I decided to stick with the squad I was building at saints. I'm entering the following November and they're still managerless. Even Mike Phelan has left to boss Spurs! Not that they apparently need a boss being reigning champions and top of the pile! EDIT: Mick McCarthy is at Man Citeh. Javier Aguirre is at Arsenal (obviously!) but with Franco Baldini as his no.2!! Paul Jewell is at Newcastle (Hughton is Jobless). Quique Flores is at Inter. Delio Rossi at AC Milan (from Palermo). Luigi De Canio at Roma (from Lecce). Martin O'Neill has been and gone at Portsmouth. Where Gordon Strachan has taken over, Steve Bruce is at Everton, Zola is at Empoli, Bruno Labaddia has joined Juventus from Schalke. Where he has been replaced by Steve McClaren Oh and Van Nistelrooy has been fired at Ipswich to be replaced with Kevin Blackwell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Novox Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 The weirdest appointment I've seen was Benitez leaves Inter to manage England (England love to gamble don't they!). I've then seen Pep Guardiola quit Barcelona after winning Champions League two years in a row to manage Spain. Realistically, the Assistant Manager for Barcelona stepped up and took over. And the many, many merry-go-rounds of manager swapping. (Funny enough. Aguire is doing a good job at Man. City buying Ronaldo...) and i believe Landrup? is managing Arsenal and bought Maicon from inter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skooma Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Was just wondering what the strangest managerial appointment people have seen so far?Apart from Moyes leaving to join Villa ( which happens everytime I play the game it seems ) I have seen Wenger leave title winning Arsenal to join 11th placed Roma, Mancini leave Man City to join 16th placed Liverpool and most bizarre of all as a Tranmere fan John Barnes being linked to a number of high profile jobs before being appointed Southampton manager, as someone who witnessed Barnes managerial talents firsthand at Tranmere I feel sorry for the Southampton fans in the game Moyes left for Villa in my game too.

Karghael Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Some strange things here as well: - Deschamps has left Marseille to take over FRANCE squad after Laurent BLANC not being able to qualify France for Euro cup, in 2011 (ok, could be fine, even if Blanc was with a 6 win on going...). Then, everyone could think that Blanc would take over OM (that chased him a lot in the past, Blanc being 1 of the top player from that team in the glorious years)... but no, the one that have been elected was: Alain Gouaméné from Ivory Coast !!!!! incredible... this one has not even 10 in tacticals, ... Crazy... And Blanc and Deschamps' 2nd in command, that act as shadow for them since they are training (Gasset and Stephan) have not followed their "boss"... not credible too. - R Denouex has taken over Paris SG, after 7 years without managing !

Andym88 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 On FM10, in my Newcastle game Man Utd ended up as a mid table team. When Fergie retired they appointed Cannavaro, sacked him when we beat them in the FA Cup final after a poor league finish then appointed Mowbray who didn't do any better, then appointed Mick McCarthy who managed to get them to about 8th.

phnompenhandy Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Just as I quit my game last night in May 2011 I got a news item stating Balotelli had submitted a transfer request, and Mancini had been sacked (Citeh finished about 14th). Dunno who gets appointed yet, but the candidates touted for the job are John Toshack and Alan Curbishley! Arabs run out of oil?? EDIT: Woah! Who got the Citeh job? REDKNAPP!! Walked out on Spurs. Who got Spurs? Allardyce!! Levy hates all that attractive football? Oh and another sacking at Newcastle - After Hughton, Steve Stone got the job but is dumped as the season ends.
