A big merry go round, managers losing their jobs quicker, it seems the owners / chairman want quicker success.

Only counted 1 manager for the Millers as a appointment to the job.

[CAMiller]

96 clubs with total manager experience of just 107 full years at their current clubs (so not counting those appointed in 2016) and 4 managers account for 40 of those 107. Shocking waste of money in paying up contracts but nice work if you can get it. Championship worst of all with just 15 years across 24 clubs.
