"Sacked in the morning"-Leicester

[Peter Grummit]

Depends on O'Neill's pay-off too. Might not be worth his while to take another job in the short term.

I suspect O'Neill will take some time off and consider things again in the summer.

Hope so anyway!

Leicester still have very decent players so it should be cracking game.

Some on the Leicester forum are suggesting Owen Coyle as a replacement for Pearson

I love the way Curbishley's name is always mentioned whenever a club are considering appointing a new manager. Is he still alive?

Lol..I'm not sure him being alive matters as regards to manager vacancies

Anyone got a list of longest serving managers in the 4 divisions? Gus must be right up there by now.

Off the top of my head, I think he's 9th. Taggart, Wenger and Moyes are at the top of the list

Thanks Gwylan, everyone knows the top 3! Who's next? Thingy at Stoke?

Leicester look to me to have the hardest run in of remaining games. Really can't see them making play offs now.

Thanks for that, fascinating. Cant believe Mancini comes in at 12th, it just shows that in general English clubs just dont understand the benefits of continuity and a settled system. Apart from Tony Bloom and a handful of other. Martinez will be off soon so Gus will probably be top10 this summer.

What decent proven manager would want to take over at Leicester with the run-in of games they've got? Unlike, say, trying to keeping Reading in the Prem I think the Leicester board would be half-expecting any new manager to get the Foxes into the play-offs, and so anyone new would be tainted by failure if this didn't happen.

The median in that range of 92 clubs is 9 months, so your average club manager in England will have been in charge for just 9 months. Unbelievable.

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Funny old world is football, isn't it? Chairman / Managers criticise a player who wants to leave for more money when he has a contract for another few years etc, but a manager can be given a five year contract and sacked after a run of bad results, as Fergie nearly was!

Ex-Albion player Chris Wilder in the top 10. Good effort for a lower league club.

Thanks for that list. It's a shock to see that Mickey Adams is in the top 20 longest serving, seems like he only took over recently.

There are six ex Brighton players and two ex Brighton managers among the 91 other managers. That seems like a high percentage to me

It shows how bizarre football is that someone appointed in January last year is the 34th longest serving manager

 

[Gritt23]

Only 37 managers have a full years service at their current club! Unbelievable Jeff.
