What recent events have led to discussions about manager sackings?
Football on Off the Ball. Old detective, I can see it now. I don't know who would you have Poirot in there. I mean, unfortunately, you know, someone told me on X the other day, you know, they think they're Poirot, but they're actually Clouseau. Join in the obsession.

I think they'll go all the way to the final, to be honest. Really? Yeah. I believe in my county and I suppose they're good at football, they just have to believe in themselves. I love playing 12, I love playing 10. I love being on the pitch, to be honest. Are you confident?
Absolutely not.
Thank you for all the supporters.
How does the public perceive the need for patience with sports managers?
Thank you for the team. Thank you France. Merci la France. Merci les baguettes. Merci les croissants. Je vous aime. I love you.
Hello, hello. Susanna here. Welcome along to Word on the Street, which is the podcast where we basically go out on the street and we get people's opinions around sporting topics and we bring them back in to chat about. So I'm here with Yves and Rachel as always. How are we? I'm actually quite good.
Yeah?
Yeah.
What are the differences between football and rugby coaching structures?
I'm really good as well. I've had a nice week. Yeah, the whole Blue Monday kicked things off and it was just like the worst weather the third week of January. Is this going to be really bleak? But it's actually been a bit of a bit of a buzzy week. Maybe it's because I was expecting it to be so bad that now I've had like an ambivalent week.
I'm kind of like, OK, I'm happy. The weather was pretty awful. It hasn't stopped raining. I currently have a leak in like the side of my house. Oh no. And I live alone. So I had to deal with a bunch of adult things because the ceiling of my bedroom And it's pooling in the ceiling of my bedroom. And there was just suddenly massive stains.
How does player power influence managerial decisions in football?
Have you seen Marty Supreme yet? No spoilers, but you need to be careful. I was terrified. The first night I slept in a different room because I was like, what if it caves in on me and I die? Then I called a plumber. It turns out it wasn't a plumber issue. So they were like, call a builder. So then I had to figure out how to call a builder. And then the builder was like, well, I can't do anything till it stops raining. You have a fixed house in May. Meanwhile, the water just keeps pooling on the top of my roof. I've also, sorry, not to be down on the dumps on your great weeks, but I'm not having a very good week. You really aren't. Do we need to move this offline, Susanna? No, but my toe.
What impact does the 'new manager bounce' have on team performance?
You've all witnessed me. I've got a really injured toe and I'm quite embarrassed about it because I did it playing tag rugby where a large man, we play mixed tag, and a large man stepped on my foot. And it doesn't sound like it should be a bad injury, but I can't walk. No, but it happened twice, you know?
It did happen twice.
On the same toe.
The odds of that are so slim.
I know. And everyone keeps being like, why don't you go to a doctor? Yeah, I keep saying, why don't you go to a doctor? But the reason is, I'll tell you, it's also a bit embarrassing. I have the Six Nations launch this weekend in Edinburgh. And the thought of having to go in a boot... And the players, the likes of Caelan Dorris or Antoine Dupont, turning to me and being like, what do you do to yourself? And I go, oh, yeah, in the non-contact version of your sport, someone stood on me.
Why do some coaches have longer tenures in rugby compared to football?
Well, do you know what? And I'm crippled. Yeah, that's where you have to embellish. I think it's a conversation starter. But before we move on, because we will move on, it's better than my story of when I was working in my local newspaper and covering the local elections a couple of years ago. And I sprained my wrist when someone shook my hand. What? Some politician got elected. I'm not going to say which politician got elected, but he was a large man. And he shook my hand. He was very excited, a lot of adrenaline. And he shook my hand so much that it bent the wrong way. And I was in work the next week with a cast on my, like a support on my wrist because I sprained it. That is worse. So, yes, whenever I see him in the news, he's like, well, no, local politicians.
