100%. Your have to be unstable as a manager to think you could stay in that job longterm.

24 managers in 14 years. Those kind of numbers make Chelsea seem positively stable
Going through almost two managers a year for well over a decade is absurd
They must pay out more in manager payoffs than some league one clubs pay in player wages

Russy 3rd favourite for the job - so that'll be 25 managers in 14 years shortly.

What frustrates me is that the press never give us credit. All they’ve said was how poor Watford were, which is fair, but the reason was we didn’t allow them to settle. They couldn’t live with our press especially first 15.
Wasn’t poor performance, more they couldn’t deal with us.

To be fair, I saw ample coverage about Smurph's decent postings, Monny's 'shoot you c*nts' strats, etc.

Was he sacked? Thought he resigned.

I mean we tended to last with managers for 2 years at a time, some exceptions (Sheehan 9 months, Duff 3 months) but Cooper was here two years, Martin two years, Williams two years

Since relegation we have been relatively stable when it comes to managers and giving them time to get work done
