If you look at the top 10 managers and the relative success they have achieved it makes it all the more bizarre that clubs chop and change so often

Shhhhhhh

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Can't wait till he is number 1

 

[WestEndAgro]

Howe must be clinging on & Eric ten Hag, both a couple of bad defeats away from a sacking.

 

[Terry_dactyl]

I did not know Nigel Clough was at Mansfield.

 

[bigfatronssba]

And there is us with the best Championship of the lot

 

[Robinshio]

Only 17 more than 2 years. That’s crazy

 

[procdoc]

Howe must be clinging on & Eric ten Hag, both a couple of bad defeats away from a sacking.

No way Howe will get sacked

 

[The Great Eastern]

No way Howe will get sacked

If Newcastle lose to the Mackems in the cup, Howe will be teetering right on the edge.

[shmmeee]

Robins checking what he’s cooking.

 

[Nuskyblue]

No way Howe will get sacked

I guarantee he will

The reason they're in the top ten is because they've had relative success. If they hadn't they'd have been replaced.

Just keeping a manager doesn't mean it will eventually all work out.

As I've said before success breeds stability, not the other way round.

 

[Gint11]

I guarantee he will

He will because he won’t bring to e club what the owners want. League titles

That table is what happens when you have owners who know nothing about the game. Particular bits of nonsense recently include the appointment of Rooney and Forest’s sacking of Cooper. One of my pet hates is when someone achieves something way above expectation (getting Forest promoted) only to be sacked when they struggle in the place they over achieved to be in the first place.

Accrington and Harrogate

After a churn of utter shit managers coming and going every season over the last 25 years, that delivered nothing but disappointment, I’m so glad to have Mark Robins.

People forget how wank it was to achieve absolutely nothing with such dogshit managers like Coleman and Dowie.

God bless Mark Robins.

 

[SleepyGinger]

Robins has a job for life here, even if we went down there’s nobody I’d rather try take us back up.

I agree, but you just know if we went up it wouldn't be long before the bedwetters were calling for Robins to be sacked.

 

[Cally Fedora]

Of course. Spot on. Can only hope we’d do it differently.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

and Forest’s sacking of Cooper. One of my pet hates is when someone achieves something way above expectation (getting Forest promoted) only to be sacked when they struggle in the place they over achieved to be in the first place.

I dunno about that, they were serious candidates for relegation, still might be but Nuno has won both games so far.

Brentford will have a decision to make soon too…

Forest had been in a run of one win in Coopers last 13 games including 5 defeats from 6 games. He could hardly be surprised by his fate.

 

[Cally Fedora]

Granted. But where were they when he took over.

 

[Skyblue Bangkok]

I agree with that point but how long do you give someone when they win 1 game out of 13?

Granted. But where were they when he took ov

IF you wipe out the outliers - say the top 10 down to Clough - what is the average job length - a year? Maybe it says something about (1) football finance - many clubs are close to broke so can't buy success. You can see in the long servers Wrexham, Newcastle and Stockport plus Klopp and Pepe all of whom have been able to 'buy' success. Or maybe (2) the kind of bloke who gets jobs in management is not very good at, well, 'management'. See Rooney, but he is far from being the first or the worst or (3) The Appointers know nothing....

Wrexham?

 

[no_loyalty]

John Coleman has been sacked by Accrington, so Robins goes up another place.

 

[Frostie]

If you consider that 11 years of Simon Weaver's tenure was in non-league, Robins is now longest serving in the EFL & by quite a considerable distance.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Might struggle to outlast the bloke whose Dad literally owns the club.

 

[Evo1883]

The statement from Accrington after so many years of service is pretty poor tbh ..

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

The statement from Accrington after so many years of service is pretty poor tbh ..

The manager and his assistant fell out with the owner a few months ago, so it's not overly surprising in that context. Shame though, after all that time.

 

[chiefdave]

their supports don't seem happy at all on twitter and the owner has deleted his account

Only 3 days until MR’s 7th anniversary
