Bet Heckingbottom is regretting leaving Barnsley for Leeds, cant believe he has been sacked already
I thought he'd be a good appointment for Leeds... Did really well to get Barnsley promoted in the first place and was just about keeping them in the League despite losing almost all their key players.
The problem for Leeds was the fact they took so long to sell Chris Wood and then didnt replace him
Bridges were burnt between him and the fans when they served notice on his contract 18 months ago. There was an article in The Times on him a few months back and it sounded like he hadn’t really forgiven them for it... especially given that he’s led them to 2 play off finals since. I lived in Exeter for 10 years and watched many of his teams. Hope he ends up at a better club than MK.
Would be great if Abramovich left Chelsea in the lurch and they sank back to that small club of the 70's,now that he has withdrawn his application for a UK Visa. You may gather that I am not too fond of Chelsea.
Interesting that of the longest serving managers, you could definitely say most of the clubs are over-achieving, even if its just the likes of Rochdale hanging on in L1.

You'd expect that to be the case though surely? They are doing well so have been kept on? Haven't been poached I guess though.
Just read that Jody Morris (Chelsea U18s) will be his Assistant Manager
Thats a very inexperienced double act... I know we've just had Bowyer and Jackson yet the Championship is a lot harder than League One
sacked a club legend & ex-player in Rowett & replaced by an ex Prem player who has never managed a club & wouldn't know the Championship if it bit him on his arse. I bet the Rams fans are pleased.

6 years 14 managers(if you count all 4 of Redfearns times)

Gareth Ainsworth is next on the list
Actually really impressive that Eddie Howe and Sean Dyche are fourth and fifth on the list
Might not be the worst appointment for them actually seeing that he'd just gotten promotion with Macclesfield

Did not know it was April 1st
Wonder if he'll be asking for Recco on loan?
Seems he was a Player/Coach @ Bath in 2016 yet thats it
What a team
Its ironic that he's so high on the list yet thats his second spell with the club having initially left them for Barnsley in 2011.
Had he not left then he'd now be the longest serving Manager in England
