    Gary Bowyer has left his post as Dundee manager less than a week after leading the club to the Scottish Premiership.

    Watford had 29 managers between 1903 and 2003.

    In the 20 years since they've now had 27 (including caretakers).

    Liz Truss would be a good fit for the Hornets 😀

    Unfortunately, we are in "glass houses" territory ourselves:

    We had 17 Managers between 1920 and 2006

    In the 17 years since we've now had 21 (including caretakers)

    I hate including caretakers in these stats.

    And unfortunately modern fans are as much a problem in this as anything else. So many calls for managers to just be replaced after a couple of bad games. I wish clubs would stick with managers longer. 

    In today’s world, there’s every chance we’d have sacked Curbs the first season we were in the premier league because he took us down.

    Any club that ends up with 3 managers in a season deserves to go down.

    Kevin Nugent is one of the best managers we have ever had.

    Especially as the "21" for Charlton includes Bowyer and Jackson (twice), so double/treble counting them

    The issue with excluding them is that, on occasions, caretaker Managers last less time than permanent ones - Les Reed, for example, lasted less than six weeks as Manager whereas Johnnie Jackson served longer than that as a caretaker before he was appointed permanent Manager. Equally, should we discount his period as caretaker because it didn't count? 

    For the record though this is the full list with those in bold permanent - that is still an average of a permanent Manager a year for the last 17 years. Curbs served for almost 15 years prior to this "run":

    When caretakers manage for a while then get made permanent, that to me counts as one managerial period, not two. The same thing happened with Bowyer, who was caretaker for ages.

    Managers who are clearly only caretakers for a brief period until someone else gets appointed fall into a slight no mans land, as it would be silly to ignore Hodgson's current spell at Palace for example because he was just a caretaker, ditto Warnock at Huddersfield.

    Grant McCann is apparently going back to Doncaster Rovers

    Guess he'll go to Hull next, before heading back to Peterborough when Ferguson gets sacked

    In other words, Levy offered him the job, JN told him to get knotted, now Donna Cullen (Spurs' Head of Comms) has leaked to the media he was never a contender.

    Surely their board will look at the number of points they got and take that into consideration. Has a team ever finished 3rd on 96 points before?

    I think that sacking him will be very very harsh

    Unless there are internal disagreements.

    It's not always about points/performance/position- it can be a breakdown of working relationships between manager and board.
