Pellegrini sacked by West Sham

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/dec/28/west-ham-sack-manuel-pellegrini-as-manager-following-slump-in-form-football

These days there seems to be a massive influx of managers at smaller teams who follow up strong and promising first season's with truly diabolical second season's. It's a big theme at Everton especially with Martinez, Koeman and Silva.

I wonder what it is that makes this happen a lot, do they overestimate they're own ability thinking they can take the club to heights no one expects but then loses motivation when they realise they were a little too unrealistic in their ambitions?

With your pettiness. 

Elaborate. If the attacker's shoulder is ahead of the defender's knee when the ball is played, is it offsides or not? I'll answer for you. It is. I'm trying to be as unbiased as I can. If we lose a 90th minute winner against Arsenal because Aubameyang's shoulder was ahead of our last defender, I will be livid. Because he's offsides....

Giving leeway for VAR completely destroys its purpose and will only create more inconsistencies in the long run.

I am still confused by VAR because some of the goals this last few round of fixtures, there have been some really really close calls, like a ball hair away. Ones that 10 years ago theyd just say the common cliche "you just give the attacker the advantage" and then times before that it was the defenders who got the advantage.

I think VAR will be limited more to use on the more obvious calls in the upcoming seasons around Europe or I feel it should be although I suppose weve been complaining about officiating for too long. It is good as it gives the referees continual support in the games but I feel it will also breed contempt among certain referees (hopefully not the better ones) who will purely rely on it as opposed to their gut instinct (which can be correct with the very good ones).

Ill be livid at the minute because of the inconsistency about it but in general I've always been very pro give the benefit of any doubt to the attacker. Had Promes's goal been given against us I wouldn't have even noticed the marginal offside unless the commentary team or conspiracy theorists kicked up a fuss. Would anyone of noticed Mount being marginally offside in the build up Vs Liverpool?

In my opinion the definition of offside should be if you can draw a line in between the last defender and attacker, offside was created in the first place to prevent goal hanging, getting all precious about the tiniest thing is just too much.
