http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_English_Football_League_managers I've decided my old favourite should get our job. Paul Tisdale.
I once watched Exeter at Wembley whilst wearing a cardboard Paul Tidsdale mask, complete with carboard cravate!
Is there anywhere that gives the average length of a managers reign over all 92 clubs? I'd like to see what it is particularly over the last 15 years or so as the culture of sacking managers these days seems a lot different to what it was pre-1990's (seems that way anyway, maybe it wasn't).
So let me get this reight..... We can't appoint an ex player. We can't appoint a former manager. Experienced managers are ****. Managers with little to no experience are ****. We have no success in appointing lower league managers. So what's left? A foreign manager? Rosler it is then. Or Di Canio.
There's no experienced ex players available to us with the right credentials to be our manager at this time. There are no former BFC managers with any sort of success available. Experienced managers aren't ****. To my knowledge there are no managers with little to no experience avaliable to us who may be a success. Johnson maybe but he's a gamble. Appointment from the division below hasn't helped us before and it wouldn't please fans to do this again.
So I assume that's what you're hoping for, an experienced manager? Perhaps one with over a thousand games on his CV, promotions, cup runs, recruited lads from non league who have gone on to star at the highest level? Can't think of one, sorry.
Was my choice back in 2011. Why would he leave a job that backs his long term vision though for one that changes plan over the course of 90 minutes
The median on that list is about 1 year 48 days, (Holloway)... which suggests we are fairly typical of the league as a whole. Would be interesting what it was 10 / 20 years ago in comparison.
