• RSS Coach Sacking Game 2022-2023

    From Futbolmetrix@21:1/5 to All on Wed Sep 7 03:35:24 2022
    Usual rules apply. You get 10 points which you can allocate to as many coaches as you want (but max of three points per coach). Decimal points allowed. Any coach that you nominated and gets sacked before December 31, you get the points.

    Previous years winners? We'll have to dig it up.

    It's too late to get those Tuchel points, but Brendan Rodgers's three points should be in the bag...

    They have to be sacked, right? Because Chelsea might now go around poaching.

    Yeah both clubs pulled the trigger surprisingly quickly.

    And Bologna have sacked Mihajlović, too - not Arnautović's fault, he made me look up whether a Serie A capocannoniere had ever played for a relegated team (answer: yes, once - Igor Protti in 95/96 for Bari).

    Apparently we've been having this for a while:

    2019/2020: Werner (https://groups.google.com/g/rec.sport.soccer/c/XSc9u05-nZM/m/17dzvX4jBAAJ)
    2020/2021: Wener https://groups.google.com/g/rec.sport.soccer/c/tQ7x-z5PCwo/m/7qt-xh-PAwAJ

    Yeah, we should settle a rule for tiebreakers. If two managers end up on equal points, then the one who picked the most number of managers wins.

    Can't understand why nobody has snapped up Marco Rose yet (or why
    Dortmund let him go). Maybe Leipzig will grab him.

    Idea for future iterations of RSSCSC:

    3 x points for every coach in charge of a team in the Champions League who gets sacked,
    2 x points for every coach in charge of a team in the Europa/Conference League who gets sacked,
    1 x points for every other coach who gets sacked

    (you should get more points for correctly predicting the firing of Allegri/Tuchel than the coaches of Bochum or Nottingham Forest

    Interestingly, Klopp has now faced 5 different Man Utd managers while at LFC, helping facilitate the termination of 4 of them. Will Teg Hag complete the quintuple?

    We'll see. Btw: There is a slight possibility that we'll be 6 pts clear of

    Yes of course, anything is possible in this world.

    But putting some numbers on it, 538 gives United a 0.1 chance of beating City, and gives Brighton a 0.16 chance of beating LFC. So that gives your 6 point gap a probability of 0.1 x 0.16 = 0.016. So about a 1.6% chance. Good luck!

    Here's another statistical gem:

    538 makes Liverpool a bigger favorite to win the EL than Man Utd, even though LFC aren't even in the competition.

    https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/soccer-predictions/europa-league/

    So basically with an only 25% probability to entering the EL (i.e. finish 3rd in their CL group), LFC is still more favored to win it. That's pretty embarrassing for Man U.

    Well, it is also known as the Vulture Game. And anyway, I'm sure that Lopetegui will land on his feet.

    You know...I’ve always resisted playing this game because frankly speculating on someone getting sacked seems like slightly poor taste. Can I please clarify that I don’t wish any ill will toward the managers I selected. It’s only a game but I
    feel kind of lousy now. :(

    Don't feel so lousy. These guys will get more money in separation fees alone than most of us will make in our lifetimes. And they'll probably be employed again before they have even finished counting that money.

    Yes of course, anything is possible in this world.

    But putting some numbers on it, 538 gives United a 0.1 chance of beating City, and gives Brighton a 0.16 chance of beating LFC. So that gives your 6 point gap a probability of 0.1 x 0.16 = 0.016. So about a 1.6% chance. Good luck!

    What were the figures before Man United - Liverpool?

    Outcomes were projected at 22%-21%-57%.

    To be fair, the model couldn't know that Liverpool would be without Maguire.

    Yes; an honest, reliable source of unbiased, accurate information.

    Really though, Futbolmetrix said top 5. Not rich 5, or top 5 over the last 10 years. It's reasonable to interpret top 5 as top 5 over the whole of history.

    If you look at a list of the winners of the Copa Libertadores, European Champions Cup/League, and World Club Championship, the success of teams from the Leagues of Italy, Spain, Germany, Argentina and Brazil speaks for itself doesn't it?

    What I first said was "usual rules apply," which means you should have gone back to one of the previous editions, and I'm pretty sure it spelled out quite clearly "top 5 European leagues." (Men's leagues, by the way)

    Mark, you are welcome to keep track of your score and let us know how you do relative to the others.

    More different clubs from Brazil, and more different clubs from Argentina, have been World Champions than the number of different clubs from England that have been champions of Europe.

    Even more Brazilian and Argentinean clubs have won the Copa Libertadores. Nobody sees that as an inconvenience and doesn't bother with it.

    Maybe they're biased then. What about people that look at football with a worldwide perspective? There's more clubs with international pedigree from Brazil and Argentina than there are from England and France.

    Of course people are biased, but the facts are Brazil and Argentina's international recognition as football super powers comes more from the adventures of their national teams in winning multiple World Cups and
    playing football the likes of which some of us had never seen before.
    Not because Santos or Boca Juniors won the Inter-Continental Cup.
    Anyone claiming otherwise is delusional.

    To this day Pele and Diego Maradona are spoken about as footballing
    Gods (rightly so), but very few of those people could name the club
    teams they played for in South America or how many Inter-Continental
    Cup winners medals they won! The World Cup is the trophy that counts,
    and that's where the international pedigree of Brasil and Argentina
    reigns supreme.

    Hassenhuttl gone. The Alpine Klopp is now the Alpine Rangnick.

    The writing was on the wall for a while, but he's stuck around for four years, which is an eternity
    for lower-half Premier League clubs. Only Pep and Klopp have been around longer.
    Lately he's been erratic and seemed plain tired. I don't expect him to take over another top
    level side anytime soon, neither in England nor in Germany.

    But it also kind of begs the question what Southampton's expectations are. With teams like
    Newcastle and Villa investing heavily, and even Forest getting in new players to field two teams,
    it's hard to see how they can aim for anything but avoiding relegation with their financial input so far.

    He said earlier this year that he might consider retiring from football altogether to try something new, after the Southampton gig is over.

    Yep. Although that statement's surely to be taken with a grain of salt,
    I'd understand it if he indeed called it quits, at least temporarily.

    The rule is the top 5 leagues. That would include the Argentinian and Brazilian Leagues. How many World Club Championships have been won by French or English teams. Are you sure it isn't obscure clubs from the French and English leagues that don't count?

    Not that it's particularly likely, but - Nagelsmann? A loss against Union and elimination by PSG
    would probably do the trick, so he's closer to the precipice than it might seem.

    Indeed.

    They must have a lot of belief in Tuchel. One wonders why - sure he has
    had results (2 leagues, 1 cup, a CL) in three previous places. But he
    seems to get in conflict with the higher-ups very quickly. Given the
    clubs he has been at the success rate is less than brilliant.

    Peculiar decision.

    Indeed.

    They must have a lot of belief in Tuchel. One wonders why - sure he
    has had results (2 leagues, 1 cup, a CL) in three previous places.
    But he seems to get in conflict with the higher-ups very quickly.

    It doesn't mean the higher-ups are always right though. The bosses own
    the club and call the tune but in hindsight Chelsea swapping Tuchel for
    Potter doesn't seem to have been the most inspired choice.

    Good call, even though the circumstances were off:

    Been saying that for years. Domestic success with PSG is just base tablestakes. CL success with Chelsea was a big deal, but in the league they were inconsistent throughout his reign.

    Hassenhuttl gone.
    So how did that go


    Di we ever tally up the final points from last year?

    Looks like the final standings should be:

    Werner 4 (Seoane 2, Óscar 0.5, Alvini 1, Hasenhuttl 0.5)
    Futbolmetrix 4 (Stroppa 2, Giampaolo 1, Cioffi 1)
    Alkamista 4 (Seoane 1, Lopetegui 2, Gerrard 1)
    MH 3.5 (Lage 0.5, Matarazzo 1, Der Zakarian 2)
    Mardin 2 (Lopetegui 2)
    Blueshirt 2 (Gerrard 2)

    And Werner wins based on having the highest number of correctly called coaches (maybe we shouldn't do decimal points, as it gives too much of an incentive to spread all the eggs in different baskets?)

    - VAR Check - Possible wrong total -

    Futbolmetrix needs to go to his PC screen to check

    (The final standings as posted on RSS can only be overruled if it is a
    clear and obvious error.)

    Usual rules apply. You get 10 points which you can allocate to as many coaches as you want (but max of three points per coach). Decimal points allowed. Any coach that you nominated and gets sacked before December 31, you get the points.

    Previous years winners? We'll have to dig it up.

    It's too late to get those Tuchel points, but Brendan Rodgers's three points should be in the bag...

    So which of the following out of work coaches is going to get hired
    first, and by whom ?

    Antonio Conte
    Christophe Galthier
    Julen Lopetegui
    Giovanni Van Bronckhorst
    Laurent Blanc
    Ralph Hasenhüttl
    Julian Nagelsman
    Frank Lampard
    Graham Potter

    I am sure the list could be added to.

    I could see Galthier going to Lyon very soon.

    Yep. You can add Vlatko Andanovski. (Or does their last job have to have been with a club or a men's team or whatever?)
