You could just sack a player or manager etc if they were doing their job badly just like in the real world ? 

As a builder or the like , if you do a crap job you get the bullet and have to find a job with someone else . It would certainly keep players on their toes !

Isn't that what Bosman was about, basically having no contracts and total freedom of movement and therefore no transfer fees and even higher player wages.

What do you define as a bad job. Totally subjective and would be on the whim of the chairman.

I think it would be better if all decisions were made by us on this forum after matches. After all we’re always in such clear states if mind, club couldn’t be in better hands

Keogh would have been sacked and rehired a gazillion times by now. We'd have needed to attach him to the club with bungee straps ?

If you could do that as a club, then the players would have every right to give a month's notice and walk out.

Why resort to sacking underperforming players?

there are other options......

Quote

UDAY HUSSEIN lived up to his reputation as football's worst loser last week when three Iraqi soccer stars were imprisoned and tortured as punishment for the national side's ignominious exit from the Asian Cup.

He once ordered that the entire national team be whipped on the soles of their feet after losing a crucial World Cup qualifying game.

Beria (head of the KGB, who are behind Dinamo Moscow) famously had the Spartak manager sent to a gulag for fourteen years when he won back to back titles. Managers today don't even know they're born.

A major problem is the transfer windows. Players are pretty safe knowing they are not easily replaced between windows. Then the owner , under pressure to be seen to doing something, sacks the manager. The underperforming player then looks goodish for a while having a honeymoon period with the new guy, and avoids the next window.

What's good for the goose etc, lets have a window for managers! (Just joking-I think).

Isn't that generally the reason why managers get sacked?
