They say every political career ends in failure. Well you can also say that about football managers, the number of exceptions to that rule you could counrt on the fingers of one hand. |  | | |

And both footy managers and MP’s usually trouser a fair bit of cash along the way |  |

“You usually see an upturn in results when you get a new face in”
Do you? For every manchester united there is a fulham or an ipswich. It can go either way, I don’t see things improving this season.. |
I don't either.
Who knows what's gone on nut there could have been some mutual consent going on. Maybe ( just maybe ) Hilly has had enough.
If not and he wanted to stay then the timing makes no sense to me.....
Unless.... and lads prove me wrong please.... we see a remarkable upturn of form starting on Saturday v Shrews. | | | |

Wouldn't the statement include the term mutual consent though? | |

This is coming from a football club that hasn't disclosed a transfer fee for about 743 years.
Nothing is ever transparent. | |

Sadly that is very true. Hopefully any further statement will shed more light on exactly what transpired between Saturday evening and this morning | |

Ha Ha Ha, Mystic Meg couldn't play off Calvin, he doesn't head the ball, it just hits him and bounces off in completely arbitrary directions. I would guess that Calvin is one of a number of players who are wondering what the future holds without KH at the helm. |  | | |

There would have been absolute uproar.
The Chairman is the head honcho at this club. End of. |  |

Gutted to be honest.
Under Keith Hill, Dale have given me my best moments of my Dale supporting life.
I know its not the result at Luton that has triggered this, but the timing of it is somewhat strange given there could have been no realistic expectation of us picking up points away at the league leaders. No comment from the club also makes it a shambles.
I think its a mistake. I can also understand the view of many who wanted Hilly out and that past glories afforded him more time than most would get given the results and performances. Call me a happy clapper or whatever but I do think we have over achieved to be promoted to and remain in League One for this long. It's not a surprise that we haven't managed to sustain it this season.
Realistically, the new man will be planning for League Two and being at the right end of the table next season. There's a manager now out of work who has a great record at League Two level.
I'm more worried about the club now than I ever have been. [Post edited 4 Mar 2019 10:30]

I'm gutted too.
There isn't a manager out there who could possibly match Keith Hill.
He's been an absolute magician at our club, and a poor couple of seasons were always a possibility when we were competing with better funded teams.
The only consolation I can find is the knowledge that Keith will find a better club who deserves his talents. I fear we will forever be lamenting the idiotic sacking of the club's best ever manager.
Good luck Keith! | | | |

I think some research was done on the “new manager bounce” as well as the “never change a winning team” beliefs
From my recollection you are correct in that there is no more chance of doing better with a new manager than doing worse. It’s just that the ones who do better get reported more & it appears that it happens more often than the reality
BTW I think the research into never changing a winning team actually showed that always keeping the same team does marginally worse than changing 1 player. However making multiple changes regularly certainly doesn’t work |  | | |

APologies if already covered, but does anyone know how Hill was sacked and by whom and when. I’m assuming decency would dictate it was by the chairman in person, before Monday | |

I doubt they would have just called him in yesterday and said we are sacking you. Usually, they would call him in a few games before, tell him we aren't happy with how things are going and issue an ultimatum saying get X number of points from the next X number of games or we will have to end your contract. | | | |

I would think it's more likely that he was told on Sunday, either by phone or in person at a neutral venue. The news would be released Monday, after KH (and CB) had the opportunity to contact those closest to him in advance of the Club Statement.
That said, anything's possible after the way James Mason and Chris Dunphy were treated. |  |

I am shocked he's actually been sacked. I don't so much have an issue with or league position, it's the manor of the teams Hill was putting out, the over-complicated tactics, and wacky selections. It all became a little hapless and the performances on the pitch reflected it. If we have a proper replacement in by Saturday then my head says it's probably the right decision. If BBM is taking over, even in the short-term, then it's bad. Even if you take the "dreaded vote of confidence" from last Friday's weekly waffle, to fire him three days after - with a narrow defeat away to top of the league between - is disgusting. Whatever is going on behind the scenes, right now it isn't to the benefit of the Football Club (on the pitch). [Post edited 5 Mar 2019 11:16]
