They are last and have only one point but I don't think anyone expected anything from them anyway and they have played pretty well (relatively) in most of their matches so far. Would be silly to get rid of the manager; I don't think anyone else would do a much better job. From the clubs at the bottom of the table I think Köln are the most likely ones to sack their manager.

Maybe Koln as well. I have seen two Paderborn matches, and they have looked awful. If Bayern get knocked out of the CL, then my thoughts will change dramatically.

If Bayern get knocked out of the CL, then my thoughts will change dramatically. Paderborn's squad is about the same in terms of quality if not worse than their last season's squad in the 2. Bundesliga; can't expect much from them and can't really blame the manager for lack of results. I thought they played well in every match except the Schalke and Mainz ones - always trying to go forward instead of playing boring defensive football and have been unlucky not to get any points (other than the Wolfsburg draw). I find that alone is worth admiration. The fans love him, the players and the board trust him. I just can't see him getting fired. Would also be silly considering that they went into this season with no expectations and relegation is what they were prepared for anyway; why get rid of a good manager who got them from the bottom of the 3. Liga back to the 1. Bundesliga in just two years; especially when they also extended his contract just a few months ago. Now Köln's situation is completely different. I think they have enough quality in the squad to stay up and are really underperforming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just going off of results. Koln are probably a good shout, as if they continue to struggle, I'm not sure the board will want to risk another season in 2. Bundesliga.

Moderator Tommy Posted October 19, 2019 Moderator Share Posted October 19, 2019 But really, the thing is, if Dortmund or Bayern decide to let their current coaches go, I really struggle to see a decent replacement on the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayern could certainly go all out for Pochettino. Dortmund would be interesting, as I would be shocked if they go for Mourniho, as he doesn't seem their type of manager.

Eco Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 I'd love to see Mourniho go to Bayern, and Wenger to BvB. Next up Schalke will need to get Rafa and you'll have the best personalities from England a decade ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot of exaggerated hate towards her in this country, but I think, to be honest, we could have been a lot worse without her. Her predecessors weren't much better.

Moderator Tommy Posted October 19, 2019 Moderator Share Posted October 19, 2019 Yea, Klinsmann was a bit of a car crash as a coach. I remember that he installed all those Buddha statues at Bayern's training ground for their "lounge area". He had a lot of innovative wrong ideas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
