Brentford sack Marinus Dijkhuizen and appoint Lee Carsley until the end of the season.

Sacking Warburton must rank as one of the worst ideas in a long time... Ha

good luck to Lee, always liked the bloke, cant see it ending well tho

Random, was he a coach there or something?

Alkhen · Sep 28, 2015

Development Squad manager apparently, still what on earth were they thinking getting rid of Warburton?! the owners subscribe to that 'money ball' philosophy I believe, which led to them getting the Dutch guy in. feel a bit sorry for the bloke, 8 games is not enough. must have been a massive falling out

Terry Gibson's perm · Sep 28, 2015

The game has gone mad.

I_Saw_Shaw_Score · Sep 28, 2015

Hope they go down after the way they treated Warburton.

TrueSkyBlueLiam · Sep 28, 2015

Serves them right for kicking Warburton out of the door. Good luck to Carsley tho. Always nice to see a Cov lad do well

skybluebeduff · Sep 28, 2015

Don't forget Willo is his assistant.

Good luck to you Lee and Paul.

Warburton don't need the doe he makes enough bread

rupert_bear · Sep 28, 2015

What is it with this apparent obsession with Dutch managers, none of them are any good including the two at Sunderland and Manchester United and going back to Ruud Gullitt and Martin Jol

SlowerThanPlatt · Sep 28, 2015

Who was the foreign manager interested in the Cov job when Coleman got sacked? I think he may have been Romanian and had managed in the Champions League

Alkhen · Sep 28, 2015

remember Zemen mania

Koeman is doing a good job at Southampton and JFH is doing ok at Burton

they didn't actually sack him though.. they just didn't offer him a new deal. Agree though stupid decision...

Joy Division · Sep 28, 2015

JFH is doing more than okay I'd say.

SlowerThanPlatt · Sep 28, 2015

JFH doing 'OK'?! Burton are probably a smaller club than Nuneaton, he's doing an incredible job

eastwoodsdustman · Sep 28, 2015

Might have been missed but Eric 'the messiah' Black has taken over at Rotherham too after Steve Evans depatrure.

And looking at the table, the 'Dutch manager at Man Utd' is actually top of the hardest league in the world. Not forgetting all the titles he's won elsewhere.

And then there's Guus Hiddink...countless trophies, took S.Korea (S.Korea FFS!) to 4th place at a World Cup.

Oh, and Frank Rijkaard...Champions League with Barcelona.

And Rinus Micheals...credited with creating the famous 'total football' Dutch side in the 70's.

Just because Advocaat is having a shocker at the moment (previously successful) doesn't mean that 'none of them are any good'....

That's it for them then...Champions League Winners within 5 seasons.

That Dutch fella at Newcastle is not doing so well though eh?

sw88 · Sep 28, 2015

I'd like to see him do well.

Surprised if Williams is coaching though; anyone else see the size of him at the legends game at the Butts a couple of years back?

fernandopartridge · Sep 28, 2015

London evening Standard says that Williams was employed as 'Logistics Manager' - he does realise it isn't a warehouse job doesn't he

kg82 · Sep 29, 2015

Warburton walked because the management were changing the setup of the club. Which means they were going to sell all their decent players and give the manager a small budget to replace them.

skybluetony176 · Sep 29, 2015

Well. He's having a good day in the office tonight.

ms639 · Sep 30, 2015

Warburton was the master of his own downfall- wanted best of both, nobody like change

Terry Gibson's perm · Sep 30, 2015

Warburton has come up of it all well, he gained a good reputation at Brentford and seemed to take everything with his dignity intact and then has ended up at potentially one of Europes biggest clubs in a two team league.

i hope Carsley is a success and would still like to see him given a proper run here one day but hopefully not for a while.

That's not true.

CJ_covblaze · Sep 30, 2015

A few years ago Willo was an agent. Seem to remember he was one of Gareth Barry's representatives at one point.

They went with what they call in America the moneyball approach. Basically they make all their signings based off statistics rather than traditional scouting methods as they believe this will get them best value for money.

Based on what exactly?

I think he has the ability to be a good manager and was here at a dreadful time and has done a lot of good work in more junior roles.

Fair play, he was obviously way out of his depth and it wasn't helped having Shaw working alongside him. I'm still struggling to understand what the point was in Thorny bringing in Shaw.

I've always seen LC as more of a coach rather than a manger though

the Shaw thing was strange it was more keep the fans happy having a fans hero here (not quite sure why he was so worshiped though). As you say he was out of his depth at that time but I remember right he had only just packed up playing.

I thought lc would be a perfect number two and could make the step up, I have to be honest I have forgotten the order of things after Thorne.

lc may just turn out to a good coach of youngsters but until he is given a proper chance we will never know.
