2013 JMac, 2015 Mixu, 2016 McKinnon, 2017 Laslo, 2018 Neilson, 2020 Mellon, 2021 Tam, 2022 Ross, 2022 Fox, 2023 Goodwin. Is it 10 managers in 10 years?

I’ll be honest, I greeted most of these appointments with a degree of optimism, bitterly cold occasions with insipid football on display. That said I thought, McKinnon & Tam, should have stayed (and Houstie!) and were in one way or another harshly treated by club (and/or fans).

Mellon? Nice guy did his job but it didn’t work out. Mixu, Laslo and Ross were catastrophic. Neilson? Nothing we could do about that!

Had a quick rake through WiKi at our managers page, the last decade is the most managers we have churned through in our history…ever! Probably the most expensive time in football history to pay severance to sacked managers and back room staff, and players…who then need replacing! We are posting loses of millions…if it continues it will be existential.

This bleak picture suggests we are a f*cking Graveyard for managers and probably players as well, not something that you SHED quickly! (See what I did there?)

Ultimately as we all know it’s about results, and that remains to be seen, but JG has delivered so far, if we stay clear of relegation trouble this season, he’s done an excellent job, and ffs can we let the club stabilise for a few years, without listening to the blowhards who want to sack everyone?

I think that's pretty reasonable . We all want what we unlikely to get. Any manager that gets us to win every week is not going to be our manager in a year. Realistically we should be top 6 as its our budget. The club has to be greater than the sum of its parts to do better that budget dictates.

Not disagreeing with you, but I'm assuming there would not have been anything paid out to Neilson, Mellon or Courts as they left of their own accord. Also not sure about Mixu - was he not on a contract 'til the end of that season, which was simply not renewed?

Either way, it's still a rake of managers to get through and hugely expensive as some of these would have involved paying off assistants as well.
