Changing manager every year is a myth.

[Challenger1978]

So in other words you can't name one.

I'm not having a go at you or out its just pisses me of no end the way we're portrayed in the media and the way they quote the statistics out of context. We're not a basket case club like we're made out to be, changing managers all the time for no bleeding reason. We had a couple of really really bad years, other than that we're very similar to most other clubs in how long we keep our managers. Christ is anything Arsenal and the Rags are the odd ones out.

Correct. It's fun to take the piss out of comedy clubs like us and Newcastle, and Spurs before they brought in the journalists' best pal.

That's what gets me though we're not a comedy club anymore, we are the richest club in the world with an incredibly bright future ahead of us. But still the bastards relentlessly have a pop at us, the sad thing is though some of our fans fall for there propaganda.

It wasn't Frank that sacked Pearce. Wardle got rid of Pearce the day after the season ended, not that this changes the stats.

Funnily enough two of them in the list (Joe Royle and KK) did something worthwhile because of the time they were given.

5 in the last 10 years is still 4 too many.

Its actually 4 managers in the space of 10 years, Hughes came in at the begining of the 11th year.

So again i'll ask the questions should we of kept Royal after getting us religated ?.

What could we of done to keep keegan ?.

Would you of kept Pearce on after the Mad Thai took over ?.

BTW heres the most important question, out of all the Premiership clubs excluding United and Arsenal can you think of a club thats had a manager a decader or longer ?.

We kept Royle after relegation, and he got us promoted twice, these things take time.

I'll say this ...... it would have been very interestin' to see who keegan would have bought with all this money if he'd still been here !

He might have been able to sign a real top quality has-been for around £30 million!

I've been through 19 managers in 29 years, excluding Tony Book. It's pretty bloody bad however you slice the fractions.

12 of those managers were between 89 to 98 and 5 of them were from august 1996 to december 1996 that totaly fucks the stats over.

I wouldn't say thats the case. More they were given time because they were doing a good job.
