Mark Bowen ONE day ?

[corbray]

14 managers since our last long term manager, ollie, left in 2006, danggg

[Fraggy]

That is a grim read.
Other than the odd one here and there; 1, 2 & 3 years seems the norm.

[bakes8]

The fact that Neil Warnock couldn't even last a full 2 years in the job despite all he did for us tells us all we need to know about the Owners.

Not really I know a lot of fans who didn’t think NW returning was a good idea, with 2nd coming syndrome, like GF and IH etc. And we will never know now. Might not have been as successful 2nd time around. New Managers are always, always a gamble and hindsight is a wonderful thing. Let’s hope whoever it is turns the tide this time.

Pep Guardiola couldn't turn the tide with this board. They are the eternal problem. Had years of this, getting sick of it now.

Had we no manager between 1959 and 1968?
Maybe we could replicate the success of those wonderful years...

Yeah ya right....Mr Alec Stock is missing !!!

[Martinmalta]

Seeing that Harry Redknapp was our longest serving Manager during the past 10 years, makes me sure were our financial problems started.

only red chap has lasted more than 2 calendar years since olly#1 in 2006.

olly#2, red chap and colin the only ones to complete a full season start-to-finish in that 13-year time (one each).
