Why is that?

The one time in my 35 years supporting the club that we've had sustained success was under Warnock, who stayed despite being successful and even turned down offers to join a bigger club. Fat Sam buggered off after one promotion. We somehow didn't retain Cotterill despite the miracles he worked in a short time. LW left six months after getting us promoted.
Very good points here and Warnock one is the interesting one he did a tremendous job for us and what was his reward when we hit a blip ?

He got sacked that is why 99% of managers will go if offered more money that isn?t just league two clubs it is the same in the top divisions around the world.

My theory on those staying at clubs like Stockport is they are being paid big money which not many would be prepared to match and also style of play does come into it as if a championship club wants you just lumping it long and trying to latch onto second balls is not a desired style, I?m not saying it won?t work to a degree but remember lots of clubs owners in the top 2 leagues are foreign so are not brought up or want that style.

Basically go out sell yourself to as an example to Evatt and see where that takes you but appointing him is only part of the jigsaw you still need good players too !
