Sacked football managers will no longer climb aboard the proverbial Management Merry-Go-Round under new proposals by the League Managers Association. Chief Executive of the LMA Richard Bevan explained, “We consider that the Waltzer better represents the whole ‘football’s gone mad, it’s spinning out of control’ feeling that is so widespread currently.”
“Many of our members have recently been sent reeling by their unexpected sackings,” he added. “They have become disorientated and are reluctant to go through that nightmare again. The image of a gentle ride followed by a walk into the welcoming arms of a lucrative new job is no longer appropriate.”
It is not clear whether the proposed Waltzer includes proverbial fair boys to chat up WAGs with the line, “Ello darlin’, you on holiday?”
