    We are actually 47th in the league table for managers. 16th in the How many managers table.

    And guess which club has the longest serving manager?

    I think we are as low as 47th in the average stay for Managers, because Fred Everiss was Manager for 46 years from 1902.

    Still 16th in the number of Managers so goodness knows where we would be if it hadn’t have been for Fred’s tenure. One thing is for sure it would have been higher and in my mind not a league you want to be high up in.

    I can't see the tables at the bottom of the linked article. What I can see is the date at the top of the article. November 2015.

    The tables etc. probably need updating given the amount of managers we ourselves have been through in over six years. Never mind everyone else.

I have been going since 1978 and I counted 5 Atkinson 1st time, Ardiles, Mowbray, Di Matteo and probably Slav the other 3 managers worth a mention obviously Megson, Ray Hartford and Roy other than that there has been a lot of dross in tween.

    Irvine - thanks Mick, so anonymous i'd forgotten his name. All I remember of him was his constant looking at his watch. The only thing Little did was to ban flip flops in the changing room!
