Chris Hughton nth Longest Serving Manager in the English League

[Postman Pat]

71 now, Awford is a goner at Pompey #twats

70? Unless we've missed anything since Awford? Micky gone from Tranmere.

69 Lee Clark left Blackpool

68 John Gregory has left Crawley

69 Lee Clark left Blackpool

68 John Gregory has left Crawley

John Gregory had already left as far as the list is concerned. Dean Saunders was serving as manager, so still 69th after Clark left (the Gregory/Saunders thing is brought up in various posts from post 22).

For the 'where will he be at the end of the season' predictions: what are we taking as the end of the season?

Our last game = 70th

Or is it the after the final championship game (i.e. the championship play off final 28th May)? Of after the last English game of the season (FA cup final 30th May)? After the last game of the season that an English team could have played (Champions league final June 6th)?

There could be a few more managers go before the summer gets going, so could make a big difference.

Now at 68th with Paul Cook leaving Chesterfield to join Portsmouth.

 

[Postman Pat]

67 - Fabio Liverani leaves Orient 'by mutual consent'

 

[Acker79]

66 - Dean Saunders leaves Crawley to take over at Chesterfield.

 

[Acker79]

65 with Uwe Rosler replacing Neil Redfearn at Leeds.

Has McClaren left yet?

Has McClaren left yet?

Not officially. And the guy Teddy Sheringham is taking over from at Stevenage is staying in the job until the end of this month.

64 - Allardyce gone from West Ham.

 

[BensGrandad]

At this rate if he is still with us this time next season he will probably be in the top 10.

64 - Allardyce gone from West Ham.

Has he actually gone yet? The statement I read said West Ham wouldn't be renewing his contract, which expires at the end of the month (like Graham Westley at Stevenage). A technicality, sure, but could be important if another manager is actually fired between now and the end of the month.

I'll leave this thread to the experts!

Is that not like a normal worker being given notice and working it?

Or being told their contract won't be renewed.

Either way, they're still officially in the job until they finish their last day.

Because of the wording of West Ham's statement. I am making the decision to leave him as manager until midnight May 31st.

With Nigel Clough being sacked by Sheffield United, that would make Hughton 64th now.

If we are including managers still being paid by a club, we'll need to add about 4 managers on for Leeds!

Wiki is showing the west ham job as vacant, for the sake of 5 days we may as well say big Sam is gone.

With Clough leaving Sheff Utd does that mean that we wont be able to sell COG to them, perhaps hopefully somebody else in that division will come in for him
