Rewarding Football Managers

[cassidystash]

“Southend United have sacked head coach Kevin Maher two days after the club’s historic FA Trophy win at Wembley. Kevin and his staff have played a hugely important role during a significant period in the club’s history. Since the COSU [Custodians of Southend United] takeover, they have helped stabilise the football club, delivered back-to-back top-seven finishes, taken us to Wembley on two occasions, and on Sunday, delivered our first domestic cup triumph.”

Under these circumstances only York & Rochdale managers would still be in a job. Crazy!!

Blimey. Seems very harsh. He has them playing some decent football and generally gets results. Be interesting to see who they appoint and how well they do next season

The Butler did it!

They got wealthy backers?
We could sell them Butler, Schofield, etc? (More in jest for Deerey than in hope).

What’s the salary for what looks like the least secure job in the NL?
Promotion or the sack, possibly even sooner if not in the top 3 or 4 after 10 games.
Lots of nervous managers in the NL if this approach becomes popular?

Yeah, we’re all wondering that. Regardless of results, the Club have recruited a Director of Football and a Director of Recruitment with the 1st team coach just doing the coaching. Kev being Kev he’s struggled to come to terms with the new way forward and a departure was inevitable at some point soon.

Point them at Butler and Schofield.
Please.

Oh no, the dreaded DoF role! Not that surprising he’s gone then. Have the Board got ideas above their station?

Yep, words like Moneyball are being thrown around willy nilly and AI player stats.
