Steve Harrison & Andy Thorn (caretakers) (2011)
Andy Thorn (2011–)
Just wondering what percentage of these have gone on to either bigger or better things and had success elsewhere? Strachan? Adams?
I know we have all said that there is something inherently wrong with our club itself and that pretty much all managers will fail here, but doesn't the fact that the vast majority of these bosses haven't had any success at all elsewhere after leaving us point to the fact that we have employed either pish poor managers or employed them after their star has waned?
