    You get 10 probability points which you can allocate to any active head coach in one of Europe's big 5 leagues (ENG, ESP, GER, ITA, FRA). Goal is to have the most points by December 31st 2020, based on fired coaches.
    Only three rules:
    1) The coach has to be active at a club in one of the Big 5 leagues when you submit your entry (duh)
    2) You can allocate a maximum of 3 points to a coach (to ensure a minimum of 4 coaches per entry)
    3) No limit on number of coaches (i.e. you can nominate up top 10 if you like)

    Deadline: Friday October 2

    Does a coach have to be fired, or can it be "leave by mutual consent" or "leaving to spend more time with his family" or other type of resignation.

    My preliminary list: still deciding on points to allocate, and will
    drop some accordingly. And maybe change some completely

    1. Tuchel
    2. Koeman
    3. Wagner
    4. Mourinho
    5. Solskjaer
    6. Wilder
    7. Dyche
    8. Parker

    Or the players going on strike?

    I'd like to take 1 point away from Matarazzo and give it to Beierlorzer.

    My preliminary list:-a still deciding on points to allocate, and will

    Darn, for some reason I thought the deadline was the transfer deadline
    (and international break) - October 5. This term is killing me. Should
    have taken the early retirement incentive package this summer after all
    - except of course I had to make the decision by March 13, at which
    point the Uni was still open, and I did not yet know about my grant application (which was successful, and would have allowed me to keep my
    lab after retirement for a couple of years)

    So I guess the below at 1 pt each is my official entry.

    Unofficially, I would delete Wagner from the list (unfair to keep him),
    along with Mourinho. Raise Solskjaer to 3 points.

    1. Tuchel
    2. Koeman
    3. Wagner
    4. Mourinho
    5. Solskjaer
    6. Wilder
    7. Dyche
    8. Parker
    9. Vieira
    10. Gisdol

    Going according to expectations, more or less, but their jobs appear to be OK.

    1 Mourinho Tottenham

    Exceeding expectations by far.

    1 Conte Inter

    He'll be OK

    1 Ranieri Sampdoria

    Midtable mediocrity.

    1 Fonseca Roma
    Possibly in the scudetto discussion.

    1 Solskjaer Man U
    1 Koeman Barcelona

    Now with these two, I may have a chance...

    I don't think so. I had Dyche and Parker, though - not looking likely
    in the near future after today.

    As for Favre, I did not see that coming at all. Especially with the
    decent CL performance.

    The criticism has been there ever since they squandered that nine-point lead in the league.
    And Haaland's singular prowess has papered over a lot of cracks, like still not having found
    a fitting role for Brandt, and Reus looking shot.

    But with a former Dortmund coach who's been chased out of town currently leading the
    league, Watzke and Zorc might also have a long hard look at their own pretensions.

    Going according to expectations, more or less, but their jobs appear to be OK.
    Actually, Crotone is dead last with 2 points out of 10 matches. West Brom is second from bottom, with the worst goal difference in the league, so maybe there is still hope for us vultures...

    Bilic!

    Rules the same as last year, courtesy of Alkamista:

    https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/rec.sport.soccer/XSc9u05-nZM/17dzvX4jBAAJ


    You get 10 probability points which you can allocate to any active
    head coach in one of Europe's big 5 leagues (ENG, ESP, GER, ITA, FRA).
    Goal is to have the most points by December 31st 2020, based on fired
    coaches.

    Does a coach have to be fired, or can it be "leave by mutual consent" or "leaving to spend more time with his family" or other type of resignation.


    Only three rules:
    1) The coach has to be active at a club in one of the Big 5 leagues
    when you submit your entry (duh)
    2) You can allocate a maximum of 3 points to a coach (to ensure a
    minimum of 4 coaches per entry)
    3) No limit on number of coaches (i.e. you can nominate up top 10 if
    you like)

    Deadline: Friday October 2


    My preliminary list:-a still deciding on points to allocate, and will
    drop some accordingly. And maybe change some completely

    1. Tuchel
    2. Koeman
    3. Wagner

    9. Vieira
    10. Gisdol


    Hey, I missed this, but Vieira got fired on December 4th. So I do get
    one point. Missed Bilic, though.

    Rolando Maran (Genoa)

    I have to say, given Preziosi's reputation, it was pretty idiotic not to pick the Genoa manager in the first place, whoever it was.

    We also missed Manuel Baum, Wagner's replacement at Schalke.

    The last casualty of the year was Lichte, Beierlorzer's replacement at Mainz. New Manager Effect sorely lacking in the German Bundesliga.
    Mainz have now set their sight on the lofty Austrian 2nd division. Although admittedly there's history.

    Ciao,
    Werner
