There was a lot of soccer stuff going on the past few weeks. Iceland confirmed their spot in Russia 2018 as finishing first in Group I, the United States did not qualify, and there was a change in faith between Chile and Argentina.

Last issue, I talked about the problem with overpaying in transfer market, and for this issue I want to talk about a problem that connects to over-investing problems, which is how managers are getting thrown away too fast.

Since PL clubs are investing so much money, they often lose their patience with the managers.

On September 10, Crystal palace manager, Frank De Boer, was replaced due to a four-game losing streak and no scoring. De Boer was replaced in only 77 days, which is a record for the fastest replaced manager. On October 17, the sad ending of Leicester City’s fairy tale continued when manager Craig Shakespeare was sacked after a draw against Brighton in their home field.

Everton manager Ronald Koeman was dismissed  due to his loss against Arsenal in PL 9R.

I understand the PL club’s situation; they spent so much money, and yet they still didn’t get the results they wanted. The replacement of managers might improve the result, however this is just another experiment. In my opinion, PL clubs should give more trust to their managers.

Last year, Claudio Ranieri was sacked in the middle of the season due to little success, even though Ranieri won 15/16 PL for Leicester City, a title that Leicester City never imagined to achieve. But the club sacked him just after nine months after winning the title. In my opinion, it’s disrespectful to drop a manager who achieved something the club could never even imagined acquiring.

Let’s get more general and talk about managers from “big 6” team. Sir Alex Ferguson was Manchester United’s manager from 1986 to 2013. In first few years under Ferguson, they finished in 11th, 2nd, 11th, 13th, and 6th place. After these defeats, however, he gave Manchester United the first league title they’ve come across in 26 years during the 92/93 season.

Since then, he has won 13 league titles, five FA cups and two Champion League titles. What if the Manchester United Board sacked Ferguson in the beginning, during the few years of failure he endured? Would Manchester United still have the same fame and reputation they have today?

This problem of sacking managers too fast can make the manager spot seem like a  poisoned chalice. Continued experimentation with the manager position is detrimental to the health of clubs.

The board should at least give the managers a fair chance to show what they can do. sounds much better then sacking them.
