The last manager taken from a mid-table Championship side . . .

[fire&skill]

. . . to manage in the Premier League?

This isn't fishing - I'm not a statistician; just wondering how often it's happened?

Pardew went from Southampton in league 1 to the prem. Although in all fairness I think he had already been sacked, for been a complete cock. Because it wasn't for being a bad manager.

 

[fire&skill]

Yep - but as you rightly point out, wasn't poached from them

 

[Postman Pat]

David Moyes was League 1 when Everton came calling, does that count?

 

[fire&skill]

I think I'm proving a point here

Paul Ince was with MK Dons before heading off to spectacular failure at Blackburn.

Only success I can think of is Roberto Di Matteo - MK Dons > West Brom > Chelsea

George Graham from Millwall to Arsenal. He did OK, I recall.

Where were swansea when martinez was appointed?

Think they were around the playoffs but it was fairly early in a season. that's how I remember it anyway.

Actually I've jsut looked it up and that's totally wrong, they finished 8th, 68 points, 6 outside the playoffs, then he went. But also he's a Wigan hero from playing there.

No because Preston were in Division 1!
