Shame on the journeymen players who get managers fired

Show/hide article…

Bill Nicholson, Tottenham’s Double-winning manager, had an irascible assistant, Eddie Baily. He had been a fine inside forward, good enough to play nine times for England and score five goals.

Baily was also what could, even then, be termed old-school. Nothing much impressed him. In later life he became a scout and a familiar presence on the London football scene.

The late Ray Harford used to do the most marvellous impression. ‘Seen any players, Ed?’ he’d say. And then screwing up his face in the manner of Alf Garnett, would slowly turn his head and transform into a scowling Baily for the reply. ‘Players?’ he’d sneer. ‘F * players? They get you the f * sack.’

And he wasn’t wrong, by the way. Certainly this new lot.

Take Sunday. Having given the dressing room exactly what it demanded, Watford’s owners settled down to see what the team could really do, free of the miserable influence of Walter Mazzarri.

It was Mazzarri, having previously made Napoli the second best team in Italy, and led them to their highest league finish and first trophy since the days of Diego Maradona, who had dragged mighty Watford down, apparently. He was arrogant. He was relentlessly demanding. He made the players train — get this — 12 days in succession.

With Mazzarri gone — he was technically in charge of the team, but had already been told this was his last game — Watford could at last perform unfettered.

No doubt there was surprise in the boardroom, then, to be 5-0 down after 58 minutes. Yes, the opponents were Manchester City, but even so. Watford were at home, the team had been released from Mazzarri’s shackles, as requested. Here was the chance for the players to shine without his overbearing control.

Instead, they recorded the club’s heaviest home defeat since the 7-1 victory of Swindon in Third Division (South), September 6, 1951. Maybe, just maybe, the board backed the wrong horse.

Meanwhile, on the south coast, Southampton’s owners were getting exactly what they deserved from their final fixture of the season: a home defeat by Stoke. The steady drip, drip of negativity against coach Claude Puel served its purpose and a Stoke team who looked as if they had knocked off a month earlier, instead recorded only their second win since March 4.

Puel was booed by fans as he joined his players at the end of the game, despite finishing eighth and reaching Southampton’s first major final since 2003. He is judged to be on his way out, too, again with the suggestion the players are unhappy with his methods, and the set-up of the team. It is said Puel has his favourites, which is true of all managers. The ones who play: they’re the favourites. The ones who don’t: they’re the ones moaning about favourites.

And David Moyes has gone, too, with news of the turmoil surrounding his ill-fated year at Sunderland slowly emerging. Moyes failed to connect with the players, too, after cancelling their Christmas party. Well, what a rotter. Not since Claudio Ranieri had the temerity to change the menu at Leicester has there been such an outrageous abuse of power.

Moyes no doubt imagined that as Sunderland had won three games in 14 by December 3, fancy dress and party hats might not be the right look on Wearside. Perhaps he had a point. As Sunderland fans stomped early towards the exits, few were heard suggesting that the lads probably just needed a good night out. Yet there it was. By the time Sunderland reached the final game of the season, rumours circulated of players refusing to play.

At least when Leicester’s owners cowed to the noises off and sacked Ranieri, they could factor an impressive body of work into the conversation. The players had won Leicester’s only league title, after all. They had progressed to the knockout stage of the Champions League. They did deserve to be heard, if not so slavishly heeded.

Yet Watford, Sunderland, even Southampton? What have these journeymen done to merit consultation? The majority are merely passing through and few have known success in the English game. Certainly not many have track records to match their coaches. Who made them the authority on what works?

By the time Mazzarri’s team beat Manchester United on September 18, Watford’s sixth match of the season including a League Cup tie, he had already used 27 players with 21 nationalities. Yet among the criticisms levelled at him is that he has made Watford anonymous and did not forge a connection with the supporters.

So whose fault is that? Mazzarri is Watford’s eighth manager since the Pozzo family took over in 2012. As of February 1, he had a 24-man squad that included four French players, three English players and 17 other individual nationalities.

How was he meant to juggle that at team talks, or have the bond Sean Dyche enjoys with the locals at Burnley? And Watford dumped Dyche, remember — he was the first casualty of the Pozzo regime, despite leading the club to their best finish in four years.

It was Ed Miliband who coined the phrase ‘squeezed middle’ when talking to John Humphrys in 2011, but it is a term that certainly applies to those coaches beyond the Premier League’s elite seven. What was Mazzarri meant to achieve at Watford — or Puel at Southampton, for that matter?

In 2015-16, Southampton finished sixth, then lost their manager Ronald Koeman, and three of their best players — Victor Wanyama, Sadio Mane and Graziano Pelle. Mane has been among Liverpool’s leading performers when fit, so too Wanyama at Tottenham, while Pelle’s club Shandong Luneng will go third in China if they win a game in hand. In the circumstances, Puel’s performance this season has been highly creditable, despite accruing 17 fewer points than last year.

Yet that drop is a common story mid-table, because the elite have become stronger. Arsenal are the first club with 75 points not to make it into the Champions League. The top four — Chelsea, Tottenham, Manchester City and Liverpool — have improved on their points totals last season by 87. This leap has to impact somewhere.

Southampton keep selling their best players, so why shouldn’t it hit them? Given the club’s policy where, seriously, do the owners think they should be? Eighth and a final is a decent effort.

Somehow, it is still not enough. And if players can do for Ranieri less than a year after winning the most incredible title in the history of the English game, what chance Moyes or Mazzarri or Puel? The players think they could do better, the owners think they could do better and, together, they always get their way.

Yet those five Manchester City goals, not to mention the six Tottenham scored at Leicester, or even Stoke’s lone winner at Southampton, suggest not every failure is the work of one man.

You can bet on outrage at JT stunt

John Terry’s 26th-minute departure was hugely misguided, but well intended.

Chelsea merely wanted to give their captain the best send-off. They did not consider the sanctity of competition in what was basically a dead rubber, they did not factor in betting coups or Twitter storms. If they had, someone would have said no. Someone higher up the chain than Antonio Conte, obviously.

He has been in England less than a year. He was not to know this was a controversial issue. There was even a precedent: Didier Drogba, in his last game for Chelsea, chaired off by his team-mates after 28 minutes two seasons ago. The stunt had the full approval of both managers, Jose Mourinho and Dick Advocaat, of Sunderland. Very accommodating, Sunderland.

What amuses most about this is those presuming to lecture on Terry’s farewell. The noble folk at Paddy Power, for instance. ‘We should have clocked sooner there’d be another cringeworthy send-off for JT,’ read a statement, having been hit for £3,500 by wagers predicting the time of Terry’s departure. Note the tone, the slang, the nickname shorthand. Even when making a wobbly stand on the moral high ground, Paddy refuses to relinquish his laddish prose.

For if we’re talking cringeworthy stunts, Paddy Power are the experts. Who can forget their juggernaut displaying a poster that read ‘Immigrants, jump in the back — as long as you’re good at sport!’ parked at Dover. To prop up the gag it even featured photographs of noted immigrants such as Andy Murray, from that war-ravaged hellhole, Scotland. And truly is there any better starting point for a bookmaker’s publicity stunt than a global humanitarian crisis?

Other highlights? Well, transvestites were the subject of a Cheltenham campaign inviting punters to tell the stallions from the mares; another advert had a hitman shooting ‘chavs’ with a tranquiliser dart. The working class, eh? What are we going to do with them — apart from take their money with a series of tacky novelty bets?

Paddy Power no doubt think Terry — or ‘JT’ as they call him, because they’re lads — is a bit of a chav, too, and therefore fair game. Not that they were averse to making some free publicity off his name, which was why they hastily trumpeted their small-time losses from Sunday, attracting the attention of the Football Association. The Gambling Commission are not interested, but the FA will investigate the timing of Terry’s substitution in case any bets were placed by people in football — although it is more likely the beneficiaries were fans keeping a closer eye on proceedings than the bookmakers.

For at 2.26pm on Sunday, the Twitter feed CFCUK revealed to its 14,000 followers that Terry would come off after 26 minutes. Both of the big winning bets were placed after this announcement, yet at odds of 100-1.

Time was, the bookmakers would have been all over the information, the way they used to be the best forecasters of trivial events such as the Eurovision Song Contest or Miss World. Now, they appear to have more staff employed in the cunning stunts division, which is why they were still offering long odds on a 26th-minute Terry exit after the news was out. Not the smartest move, was it? In this way, at least, Terry and Paddy have much in common.

Blackpool supporters are in a quandary about the League Two play-off final with Exeter on Sunday. This season many have stayed away from Bloomfield Road in protest at Karl Oyston’s stewardship of the club.

Now they are undecided about the trip to Wembley. ‘It is a real crisis of conscience for people,’ said Blackpool Supporters’ Trust chairman Steve Rowland.

Go. For heaven’s sake, just go. As ethical as the protests have been, Oyston is still in charge and missing out on one of the highlights as a supporter of a lower-league club is not going to change that, short term. Blackpool is yours as much as it is his. Go. Have fun. Enjoy the day.

Carry on the protest next season, or through the summer. But this is different. This is Wembley. Don’t do it for him, do it for you. Go.

Jose Mourinho will be faithful to goalkeeper Sergio Romero in Stockholm on Wednesday night, and rightly so. He has been in outstanding form in the Europa League this season and, if David de Gea leaves as expected, could save Manchester United buying a replacement.

At the very least, they have other areas in more pressing need of an upgrade.

Retaining the Golden Boot was an outstanding achievement, but Harry Kane still fell one short of matching the only Englishman to score 30 Premier League goals in a season this century. Kevin Phillips, in 1999-2000. That he did it for seventh-placed Sunderland, who only scored 57 goals in total — Everton totalled more, in 13th — makes it all the more remarkable.

He remains the only Englishman to win the European Golden Shoe, too, his name sandwiched between Mario Jardel and Henrik Larsson and before Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Francesco Totti and Luis Suarez. Not bad company, that.

Sport does not have its own section in the Conservative Party manifesto. Do not consider this an endorsement, but amen to that. If this means less political grandstanding and interference from MPs, it is surely one policy we can all get behind.

The question marks which hang over Claude Puel

Show/hide article…

THE review process that will ultimately decide Claude Puel’s future at Southampton Football Club is now under way.

Those responsible for such critical decisions within the club’s hierarchy will meet to debrief the season just gone, in which Puel led Saints to eighth place in the Premier League and to the EFL Cup final.

Vice-chairman of football Les Reed and director of recruitment and scouting Ross Wilson will analyse the campaign with the end aim of agreeing the best course of action in regards to Puel, who will be in attendance during the inquest.

Despite leading Saints to another lofty finish and to Wembley during an arduous 53-game season, the Frenchman has become increasingly unpopular because of his style of play, lack of goals and poor results in recent weeks.

Here, the Daily Echo, addresses a few of the crucial issues in relation to the manager that must be discussed during this internal end of season review at St Mary’s.

Has the football the team has produced lived up to expectations under Puel’s management?

Arguably the most significant blot on Puel’s copybook is the way Saints played under his leadership.

From the very start of the season, the style he opted for was a complete change from the previous regimes of his recent predecessors Mauricio Pochettino and Ronald Koeman.

After the proud successes of previous campaigns it will likely be viewed in the review process as an unnecessary move to rebuild part of the club’s identity so soon in to his tenure.

Saints were known, from all academy sides to the first team, for playing in a 4-2-3-1 formation with high-pressing, quick passing and movement a fundamental characteristic of that.

But Puel wasted no time in scrapping that philosophy, which partly represented a disregard for what Saints had previously achieved and the personnel, who were familiar with the way of playing, that he had at his disposal.

The 4-3-3 possession-based, often slow and comparatively negative system that Puel introduced initially was justified by the Frenchman as an “economic” style to accommodate Saints’ hectic fixture list in Europe and domestically.

Puel can partly be forgiven for this decision because of the sheer volume of matches. At least he justified the reasons why he binned a previously successful way of playing.

But, even after reverting back to the 4-2-3-1, Saints, for the most part, continued to produce drab displays, which, most pertinently, lacked goals.

Saints managed to score just 17 goals in 19 home games and ended the season with no strikes at St Mary’s in five games.

Charlie Austin, who spent the majority of the season sidelined injured, ended the campaign as top-scorer with nine goals in all competitions.

These totals are not good enough.

Has Puel fulfilled what was expected of him?

In this respect Reed and Wilson simply cannot ignore that Puel has actually ticked quite a few boxes.

The Frenchman was picked by the club’s hierarchy to be the manager because they felt he had the correct level of experience in Europe and in bringing through youngsters and improving players of any age.

There was not once any mention that Puel was expected to bring an exciting style of play, just that he fitted the bill because of his achievements.

Saints also wanted a manager to take them to a ‘best of the rest’ finish.

Well, Puel led the team to 8th place, certainly a position befitting of the league demands placed upon the boss on his arrival at St Mary’s.

Beyond that, Puel guided senior players Oriol Romeu and Maya Yoshida to their best-ever campaigns.

And, although many players have failed to deliver, Puel has done wonders for the careers of Jack Stephens, Sam McQueen and Josh Sims.

Despite those positives, the Europa League campaign, one the main reasons for his appointment, was a complete disaster, with Saints failing to qualify from a weak group.

This is a big point that will work against him as Saints debrief, but it should be noted that he has done a lot of good work with players who would unlikely have not got an opportunity under another manager.

Puel will, of course, be able to point to the EFL Cup run to the final as another success, with no other St Mary’s boss able to achieve such a feat in major competitions since the 2003 FA Cup final.

Have results been good enough under Puel?

In three out of four competitions Saints played in this season, there is no doubt that individual results have been substandard.

In the Premier League, Saints may have finished 8th but they won just once in their last eight games and ended the campaign 17th in the table on home games.

At St Mary’s, Saints won just six of 19 games with only one them (Everton) coming against a team in the top half of the Premier League.

They failed to beat relegated Hull and Sunderland in front of their owns fans and, in contrast to other seasons, weren’t able to beat any of the top six.

In fact, Puel’s side didn’t win against any of the leading sides in 12 attempts home or away.

But, despite these obvious sore points, Puel can point to the away form, which saw Saints finish as the 7th best away team, and the overall result in the league, which was a very good 8th place.

There’s no arguing, though, that the FA Cup and the Europa League campaigns were woeful and not good enough.

The context of the FA Cup exit cannot be ignored, but it was still embarrassing for the club to be thrashed 5-0 by Arsenal at St Mary’s in the fourth round.

Puel was criticised at that time having made ten changes for the Gunners game.

But, the 55-year-old cited nine injuries, fatigue after the EFL Cup semi-final win over Liverpool and the importance of upcoming Premier League matches with Swansea and West Ham for his decision.

It will be up to the reviewing panel to decide whether that was a good enough explanation for the manner in which Saints exited the competition.

Puel will not, however, have a leg to stand on when it comes to the Europa League disappointment.

In a group that included a disinterested Inter Milan, two sides from far weaker leagues, Israeli outfit Hapoel Be’er Sheva and Czech side Sparta Prague, Saints should have easily been capable of progressing into the knockout phase.

But they did not score a single away goal and went out with a whimper.

One of Puel’s main jobs was to give the European campaign importance, but he failed and that will not sit well with Reed and Wilson.

Yet, if there’s one big redeeming point in this sense, then the EFL Cup run will be it.

Saints did not concede until the final, beating Crystal Palace, Sunderland, Arsenal and Liverpool (twice) to reach to the Wembley showpiece, where they lost 3-2 to Manchester United in a thrilling game.

Has Puel’s management represented progress for the club?

This particular topic is subjective and a little ambiguous, because there’s lots of elements to it.

In one sense, Puel has introduced yet more academy players to the team, which is something the club hold in extremely high regard.

That is, undoubtedly, progress for the ‘pathway’ between the youth programme and the first team.

Ronald Koeman stated during his reign at St Mary’s that many of the young players were simply not good enough for the first team.

But Puel has taken a far different approach and given an opportunity to those players Koeman wouldn’t ever have.

Spotting the potential in Sam McQueen to use him as a left-back, Jack Stephens’ brilliant run in the team at centre-back, having the audacity to throw in Josh Sims against Everton. All these things represent progress and a certain level of resourcefulness on Puel’s part.

If Puel were to hang around, he’d likely continue that work, whereas another manager might not want to focus on shaping careers.

But, this debrief cannot ignore the regression in terms of league finish.

Last season, Saints finished on 63 points, just three points off fourth place, while this term they tallied 17 points less and were 30 points off Liverpool in fourth.

Although they finished 8th, the gap in points and the manner in which they achieved that finish haven’t been very pleasing.

However, Puel will be able to point out that he had to lead the team during a long and difficult campaign, which included the club’s first ever Europa League group stage campaign.

And unlike like last season, Saints went far in a knockout competition.

Does Puel remain a good fit for the club?

Puel’s popularity slumped noticeably as Saints crawled across the finish line and the perception of the fans will have to be considered in addressing this particular topic.

The Frenchman has lost the faith of the supporters, the vocal ones anyway, and the question is: does he have the capacity to win them back over?

It would be fair to say his lack of personality in press interviews has done nothing but hinder Puel’s reputation among fans.

He can be forgiven in some small way because English is not his first language, but if the supporters are to have any affection for him as a character the dreary and repetitive answers he offers in press conferences have to stop.

Therefore, unless he changes his tactics in front of the press, it would be unlikely he will be able to talk his way in to the fans’ good books.

If he’s unable to win them over through his own voice, then getting the team playing attractive football may well be the ticket.

Another season at the helm might trigger developments in this regard.

He’ll have an undisturbed pre-season. Another transfer window to shape his side. Ample time to continue to get his message across.

It seems, however, at this stage, that among most fans Puel is a lost cause, destined never to command much popularity.

But, if Reed and Wilson believe, given time, Puel will deliver what they hoped he would, then they might be inclined to think he remains a good fit.

Reed said in January that Puel is a “teacher”, adding he “has taken teams from the bottom to the top, and young players from the academy to world class”.

And most interestingly, the vice-chairman of football said: “If you want to go down that route you have to give someone time. Teaching takes time.”

Whether Puel is still the right man for the job depends a lot on whether Reed still holds this opinion.

Former Saints player jailed

Show/hide article…

FORMER Saints player Nile Ranger has been jailed for eight months after admitting to online banking fraud.

The controversial striker, who also played for Newcastle United and Blackpool, is currently at Southend United.

Ranger’s career at Southampton lasted for only a year before he went north to St James’s Park.

Southend’s chairman Ron Martin has said the Sky Bet League One club will not rush into a decision over Ranger’s future after his sentencing.

The club was aware of the offence when they signed the 26-year-old in August 2016, and Martin admits Ranger’s behaviour has been “acceptable and improved” since he arrived at the Essex club.

In a statement issued by the Shrimpers, Martin said: "The club needs time to consider its position and also the impact of this startling, unexpected, outcome in court this afternoon on Nile Ranger both as a person, as well as a player for Southend United.

"As I have said previous, this offence occurred long before Nile joined the club and everyone deserves a second chance, which the club has afforded Nile.

"Nile Ranger is unlikely to ever be a model professional, however during his time at Southend his behaviour has been acceptable and improved.

"We have worked hard at rehabilitation and Nile has responded well to his team-mates both on and off the pitch.

“At the time of writing, the club is awaiting details of the court hearing and will review the details before coming to any decision surrounding Nile’s future.”

Ranger pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy to defraud by obtaining bank details and transferring money and was sentenced to eight months.

Appearing at Wood Green Crown Court on Tuesday he admitted switching over £2,000 from a woman’s account to another in 2015.
