Just hours after posting about needing old heads to save your club, it seems that experience can’t help you win things on the flipside: Chelsea have sacked Scolari.

That’s it. I propose a manager’s contract to be 18 months at max. That way clubs can’t lose money from compensation.

Why can’t we sack players under normal circumstances? And the minute a manager loses the dressing room he is sure to be out, as players don’t perform for him or listen to his tactics anymore. There must be a compromise, I feel.

I can remember 3 periods when Man United didn’t win anything but they still kept Sir Alex. Nobody dares to think of a successor to him – that’s because nobody fits the bill as yet. But the rest of the teams in England (save the Arse) and all around Europe see the manager as easily sackable.

So what’s my point of all this? After the tragedies that befell Ramos, Keano, Ince, Adams, now Scolari, even Schuster, don’t be a manager. If it isn’t your players backstabbing you, it’s the overambitious board of directors swift on the trigger if you don’t get a win in 3.
