Oh dear Meslier ;D

The closeup of the Sunderland player Browne, who hit the ball that went in, couldn’t keep a straight face, and on his arm the legend: “Serios Group”; still grinning 5 minutes later in front of the camera, being interviewed 😂

 ;D Fucking hell, had to look it up after seeing this thread. Wow, one of the worst errors I've ever seen, especially given the timing of it. Feel for him to be fair, that must be horrible.

I completely missed the goal as I was on my laptop at the time. Looked up to see the Sunderland player aimlessly put it into the box and looked down back at my laptop just before it reaches Meslier. Then heard the animated commentator a second later.

Mark Robins sacked as Coventry manager. Re-joined them in 2017 in League 2, and got them to the cusp of the Premier League AND a disallowed goal away from the FA Cup final.

Can't imagine how poorly this has gone down with the wider Coventry fanbase.

Modern Football in a nutshell - one poor start to a season and they pull the trigger. Robins has worked miracles at Coventry under the circumstances he's
faced and on very low budgets. I bet who comes in will be no better than Robins.

I saw a video a few weeks ago where Robins was arguing with a few Coventry fans in the ground because they were giving the Coventry players dogs abuse when they went across to applaud them.  It seems like there was a bit of fracturing in that relationship which is ridiculous considering what he achieved there.

They spent a bit this summer which raised the already high expectations but they also lost Callum O'Hare who was probably their best player last season (I'm surprised a Premier League team didn't pick him up).

Luton have had a worse start but I'd be amazed if they sacked Rob Edwards.

Apparently Frank Lampard is going to be the new Coventry manager. Just according to twitter sources but what a mistake that would be.

Unless Lampard can still pick up some of the best Chelsea youth/fringe players on season long loans then he doesn't bring anything to Coventry.  I guess it will end up being Lampard's final managerial job unless he picks up something through the FA.

Had Mason Mount, Tomori and Harry Wilson on loan for a season at Derby (who all hit the ground running) only to finish with less points than the year before and fail to go up. Then somehow got the Chelsea job.

Don't think you can talk about all three hitting the ground running without acknowledging the part the manager would've played in facilitating that.  There's a lot of loans from big clubs to the Championship that don't work out.

He's a shit manager, but he does deserve some credit for his Derby run.

He doesn’t deserve credit for Derby. He deserves scorn. That Derby squad is one of the best the Championship has ever seen and they still fucked it up.

He might have done okay developing them but they scraped a play off place on the last day of the season and didn't go up. They really pushed the boat out financially that year and not going up crippled them. The team they had should have got promoted. Lampard's reward was the Chelsea job. Failed there. His reward was the Everton job.

Wouldn't have lasted 5 minutes at Derby had he stuck around after those loans went back (and a lower budget).

I thought your post was hyperbole so went to remind myself who was in Derby’s squad in 2019 - you’re right, they were utterly stacked for the level. Loads of solid Premier League players with a scattering of future stars. Waghorn, Marriott, Andy King, Curtis Davies, Joe Ledley, Bradley Johnson, Scott Carson, Martin Olsson etc. For the Championship, and looking at the table that year, they had a better squad than the two automatically promoted teams.

All those dudes plus the fact they had Craig Forsyth, Andre Wisdom, Richard Keogh, Craig Bryson, Tom Lawrence, Tom Huddlestone and got Ashley Cole for the second half of the season. That’s before we even move on to the loanees. I can’t see how you don’t get promoted with those at your disposal. Incredible.

It's like Leicester in the Prem. Out their depth every week but somehow stay out the bottom 3.

That's why I wouldn't have loaned them Danns though. So poorly coached with him there.
