To make sure we know enough about our topic from our research, we are to have a conversation with a friend to naturally figure out if we have done enough research or if more is required. I pared up with my best pal Marc and had a rousing about my research topic, Why are managers in the premier league getting fired so easily lately? Here are some of the things we talked about.
Q: What are the why, where, who, when, and what of your subject?
A: The managers in the premier league have been getting fired quite easily lately, especially by the larger clubs. The premier league is located in England. The managers have been getting fired more and more easily especially over the last 2 seasons.
Q: What do you mean by managers in the premier league?
A: Managers in the premier league are the managers of the soccer clubs in the english soccer league.
Q: How do most people see this? How do you see it differently?
A: People see the managers getting fired so fast because they are not bringing success to their clubs.
I see it differently because I think that managers get fired so easily because the owners are so rich and fire their managers because they expect perfection from their money.
Q: Are you kidding? I didn't know that. What else did you find out?
A: I also found out that it is mostly the bigger clubs who are quick to pull the trigger, but some of the smaller clubs do fire their managers if the clubs don't find success.
Q: Can you give me an example?
A: Manchester City fired their manager, Roberto Mancini one year after he brought the barclays trophy to the manchester club to hire their current manager Manuel Pellegrini.
Q: Did that surprise you?
A: No it didn't really surprise me, it has become a common theme over the last 2 seasons that if the manager isn't bringing trophies, they lose their job.
Q: Will this pattern continue over the next decade or so, or will managers see their jobs being preserved for multiple seasons again?
A: I think over the next few seasons we will see much of the same where managers get fired rather easily, but maybe not as quick. Managers who have been at clubs for multiple years seem to have much more control over the club than new managers do.
Q: Who does that effect, mostly?
A: It effects the managers mostly. Their jobs are always in question. It's either bring trophies to the club or lose your job.
Q: What should we do about this?
A: As mere fans of the game i think we can have a bit more patients and realize our club can't win every year. The managers are not ultimately what decides the game, it's the players. The players are the ones who score the goals, defend, attack and what not, too much of the blame is put on the managers I think. But it is ultimately up the owners of the club if the managers keep their jobs or not, not us.
Q: I am not sure I believe this, why do you?
A: Well we as fans do not ultimately decide the fate of the managers as that is just not our position to make the call. It is the owners finals say that really matters.
Q: What do you think we should do about it?
A: Again as fans there isn't a whole lot we can do other than not be so hard on the managers and put more of the blame on the ones who truly decide the game, the players.
Final Q: This is all very interesting but what is your point?
A: My point is, I think it is odd that these world class managers are being kicked to the curb so easily by these clubs and it should not e this way. The owners should be more patient with their managers and let them develop their squad and show them how to play the kind of soccer they want. Some of these managers get only half a season to prove themselves, this is simply not enough time to implement their coaching styles and really impact the squad.
