Kolo Toure - Wigan manager

[Lemmy_kilmister]

Cue that daft song


Kolo Toure: Wigan Athletic appoint ex-Arsenal defender as manager - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/63792791

Really weird appointment.

 

[Diego]

Really weird appointment.

Why?

 

[Sexpom]

Great to see another black manager being given a chance, I think read they went for YaYa before appointing Kolo.

 

[ForssAwakens]

Why?

Ye I’d be interested to know why it’s seen as a weird appointment compared to any other young ex premier league playing getting their first managerial post

No different to lampard, carrick gerrard Kompany

They are all well decorated

Yep and he’s been with Rodger’s a few years now learning

 

[ForssAwakens]

I think the benefit of a young manager is they’ve played in more modern tactics than the like of the ones that do the rounds

Then you have the one who are coaching under elite managers learning the trade

If anything I’d be worried about Wigan having an upturn if form now

 

[TeaCider]

Wouldn't have minded him as an appointment here if we hadn't went for Carrick.

Hope he does well.

 

[MVBoro]

Wish him well. I'm sure he's had a good grounding learning from Rodgers.

Oh I didn’t realise he’d been first team coach at Leicester, thought they’d just plucked this totally random ex-PL player out of nowhere.

Didn’t even realise he was coaching, have never seen him linked with a job before.

Sorry but I can’t abide that song.

Think I’d rather have Joey Barton with John Terry as his assistant than put up with that song.

 

[TeaCider]

Sacked after 59 days.

Obviously didn't do well.

Still feels harsh to only give him 7 league games, despite Wigan's position.

 

[uncle_rico]

They've been terrible, but give the lad a chance. Strange appointment given their predicament. They needed a fire fighter, not a rookie.

 

[Duffman]

Ludicrous decision. Football management is absolutely ridiculous

 

[Lemmy_kilmister]

Wilder to the rescue
He'll have been doing his thing of ringing the chairman and saying I'll come if you sack him

Mental.

 

[Nobby_Barnes]

Crazy, he had no chance with that squad....
He probably should have waited for the right opportunity....

I’ve heard that statement before…….

The liz truss of the championship

Thats ok.
They were just waiting to jump in and brand you a racist.
