Summary

Graham and Taylor take a look at a narrative that pops up every time a coach gets sacked: The New Manager Bounce. When things aren't working and clubs decide to sack their manager, it's often expected that with the hiring of a new manager will come improved results (hence, New Manager Bounce). But is it real? What do the stats say? Should you sack a manager when things seem bleak, or can that decision lead to greater problems? All that and much much more on today's episode!

joined by Mr. Graham Ruthfin. Hi, Graham.

0:24.8

Hello. Graham was the only

0:26.8

one of the other co-hosts who wanted

to talk soccer 101 with me, who wanted

And for anyone who wants to join the Discord, there are hundreds of American, like-minded American soccer fans in there,

people who just want to chat soccer and even

0:54.9

other sports. And there's loads of different threads and channels in there. You can join through

the TSS Plus Patreon. We very much appreciate everyone who has already. So yeah, this topic was

1:06.2

suggested in the Discord. I think it's a good one because it's a term that is used quite a lot, and some

1:12.0

fans might not know what that is. And even if you do know what it is, it might not be clear

1:16.4

whether it's a real thing or not. And in my research for this, that was my starting point.

1:22.1

Obviously, I have heard what I know what a new manager bounce is, I know the concept, but I

1:27.1

wasn't sure if it was a myth

1:28.5

or a real thing and that is something that we will drill down into. That we will. But let's

1:33.2

first start with what it actually is because I even messaged a few friends of mine who played

professionally when I asked them about it. They responded, what a bounce? What are you talking about?
