Said it before but it’s absolutely nuts that you can be in the same job for just over a year and be comfortably inside the top third by longevity

Incredible that two thirds of clubs have seen a change or three in the last 15 months.
The merry-go-round.

How high did Poyet, Hughton and Potter get in this list?
Seem to recall Poyet made it as high as 6?

What has Simon Weaver got over the Chair of the Harrogate board?
Nearly 15 years in a Division 2 club, must be quite tasty...

According to the history of the wikipedia page the current list is drawn from (links are to the last edit made to the page before it was updated to show each manager had left their job)
Poyet - 8th (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.ph...lish_Football_League_managers&oldid=560082400)
Hughton - 7th (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.ph...lish_Football_League_managers&oldid=896795573
Potter - 14th (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.ph...ish_Football_League_managers&oldid=1109010604)

It might make for some very awkward Christmas dinners around the Weaver table if Simon ever got sacked, his Dad Irving has owned Harrogate town since 2011.
However, nepotism aside, the chairman is probably happy with his lot at the moment. They've spent the majority of the time Simon Weaver has been in charge in the National League North, then 2 seasons in the National League and now they are in the 4th straight season in League 2. As recently as the mid 1980s they were still playing in the 10th tier of the English Football pyramid. Could you imagine Peacehaven and Telscombe in League 2 in the next 30 years?

5 of the top 8 are doing very well in the Premier League. The manager merry go round is absurd

I presume more is paid out in compensation than salaries, across the board

So Forest Green have sacked David Horseman and appointed Troy Deeney as manager, I'm sure that will go as well as Big Dunc's spell in charge did. Just what you want when you are 23rd in League 2 and 5 points from safety, a rookie manager who has never had a job before.
Anyway, that doesn't effect RDZ's position in the table but by my very quick calculations that is the 96th* managerial change to happen since Roberto took over. That works out at a change every 4.78 days.
*Whilst doing a quick count I didn't include caretaker managers leaving when a new manager was appointed but I did include caretaker/interim managers who were sacked. The 96 also includes those managers who left for another job so not every one was a sacking.

Or both? From Norfolk.
Thoughts & prayers with Matt Gray. That will certainly help his job opportunities.
