Ok so our crazy Dutch friends who want to be at a World Cup again posted that FIFA rules state you cannot sack a manager the days before a World Cup....the result if you do is you get thrown out of the competition. Netherlands for some reason are "1st reserve" on the FIFA list and are asking to be included in the tournament at the expense of Spain xd


i dont see this rule anywhere

Haha, there is no reason why we'd be the first team to be called up. There are 4 #2 in the groups that didn't get to qualify, so Italy would be a much more logical choice.

You're above Italy in world ranking though, so I could see that working out for you.

Haha... Imagine the Dutch players sitting home, drinking beer and preparing to watch the World Cup with their families and friends. Suddenly red alert, all the holidays cancelled, everybody to full preparation mode just in case Spain somehow gets disqualified.

Denmark became Euro champion that way. (except that they continued holiday mode through the entire tourney)

Just as a heads up this may apparently wrong, I've read they only suspended/freed him of his duties, not terminated his contract. 2 million buyout would still be required.

I'm not sure that they can do that. If that's the case he can easily terminate the contract unilaterally... Anyways, I'm pretty sure, that Rubiales said that Lopetegui is no longer "employee" of the FA. I don't know where you are reading from, but both AS and Marca are reporting that he is fired.

It's a common way in Italy to fire coaches, they suspend them and keep them in their backpack. For exemple Sarri is not free from Napoli.

If that is common practice in Italy, then the italian coaches should form an union ASAP. This "keeping (a person) in the backpack" is a bit iffy.

Contracts go both ways, as long as they still pay him he needs a cause to terminate his contract, or they can just buy him out.

Also, it's not exactly good for attracting high quality coaches in the future if you're preventing them from moving on for no reason.

Specially to keep good relations with the national team. The NT actually has multiple ways to annoy clubs like not resting a key player in a friendly when he has to play CL the next week.

And the teams have multiple ways to fuck with the national teams... In general, being a jerk is not the way to go.

You mean like when they announce that the signing of National Team managers a couple of days before the start of the world Cup? Didnt take much jerking by the FA to cause that one.

Maybe. Perez said that it is the in the team's best interest to announce the manager before the WC and he did it.On the other hand, Rubiales overreacting like an idiot didn't improve the situation for sure.
