RSS Coach Sacking Competition 2024

[Futbolmetrix]

You have 10 points which you can allocate to as many coaches as you want
from the English Premier League, Italian Serie A, German Bundesliga,
Spanish Liga, and French Ligue 1.

Maximum 3 points per coach, decimal points allowed.

Any coach that you nominated and gets sacked (or resigns, voluntarily or
not) before December 31, you get the points, BUT there is a twist!

- A coach sacked by a team participating in this year's Champions League
group stage: your points are multiplied by 3

- A coach sacked by a team participating in this year's Europa League or
Conference League group stage: your points are multiplied by 2

- Any other team: your points are multiplied by 1

Deadline: Friday September 13.

What about deaths? Included in involuntary resignations, I suppose?

The multipliers make this hard. The pillaging of teams like Stuttgart,
Bologna, Atalanta by bigger teams makes it harder. This calls for
reflection.

Unfortunately, yes. The "voluntary or not" clause is included because
you sometimes can't really know whether a resignation is voluntary or
not. So, to be on the safe side, any coach that leaves his post before
Dec 31 counts (hmm... I wonder if some club owners could find ways to
make an "accident" happen when they can't resolve a tricky contract
situation...)

Thanks. Mourinho in principle could be sacked or leave Fenerbahce (not
included in the list of RSSCSC leagues), then picked up by a team in an
RSSCSC league and sacked again before the end of December, so he is a
valid pick. Not one very likely to yield points, but still valid.

In any case, I will accept picks and revisions up until 11:59GMT of
Friday September 13. If no revisions are submitted, your last pick is
the one that counts for the purposes of RSSCSC.

You're right, of course. <shrugs> It was early in the morning!

I will submit a revision when I've thought more about it!

And if I forget to submit a revision, then I will just have to
hope for that [highly-improbable] double-whammy to happen!!! :-)

Why is it so Eurocentric? If you included leagues from the rest of the
world, it would enhance the prestige of the game; it would encourage
interest from at least 1 former Champion.

So nobody had De Rossi?
Fonseca might be the first to garner points.

Meh. Would have been a 2-pointer. Instead I wasted 0.5 of my allocation
to Cannavaro, who I mistakenly thought was still in charge of Udinese
after a close escape from relegation last year :-/

Still better than me picking Runjaić who‘s actually
Udinese‘s manager, and leading the league right now.
