Last season provided a long list of bizarre events:
First up we have:
Sevilla - Raingod
Following an embarrassing 5-0 defeat to Leverkusen, Raingod led one final press conference and shortly left the game, never to be seen again.
AC Milan - Mati
Last game of the season, AC Milan Vs Leverkusen. A thrilling 4-4 draw took place and left Leverkusen above AC Milan in the league, Mati then left.
Barnsley - Anthony
Following a failed application for AC Milan, Anthony threw his toys out the pram and left the game for good.
Three managers, all left following a game or involvement with Jason Hopton, is he done? Or will more follow in the next season? We caught up with Jason to find out what on earth happened last season
Interviewer: “Jason, are you aware of the rumours that you had 3 managers sacked”
Hopton: “Look, I can accept Raingod, he couldn’t handle the prospect of losing 5-0 to a mid table side. He also couldn’t cope with being a manager full stop, claiming some sort of quality from his days on football manager, couldn’t face the real world so had to go.
Mati, well he has moved on, he had been at AC as long as I have known him and I imagine this was just a coincidence that I played them at the end of the season.
As for Anthony, that was just pathetic, how long had he been here? One season, maybe two, and felt he deserved an opportunity over me, dream on. He won’t be missed.”
Interviewer: “You know that Anthony is in charge of Lisbon?”
Hopton: “Lisbon… seriously, what sort of joke is this? That old team, I doubt he will see out the season. He has no staying power, he has been at about 5 clubs in his two seasons here, just a journeymen hoping to rise to the top.”
Interviewer: “How do you view your chances this season?”
Hopton: “it’s still early days, I have some transfers on the horizon and plan on pushing for champions league qualification, anything other than top 8 will be a disappointment. Oh and Gary Wilson, you own Rangers £19!”
