Team/Manager "kill ratio" in a single season

After we beat Bolton and their manager got the boot, it got me thinking.  What is the highest "kill ratio" of managers a team has had in a season, where they have beaten an opposing team and said team has sacked their manager before the next game. 

Has there ever been more than one a season?

I'm talking about any team here, in any one season.

  • Not an answer to your question, but I’m pretty certain we ‘killed off’ Big Ron at Manure in 1986, and Ruud at Newcastle (can’t remember the year)

    I didn’t know that, and he was replaced by Ferguson (?) so, really, we started one of the greatest periods of domination in English football history? Shame it wasn’t our own!

    We killed off another Newcastle manager in 92 I think. Ossie Ardiles, who was replaced by Keegan...

    Not correct, Atkinson survived at least a couple of months after we beat them

    Gullit went after they lost to Sunderland. Keegan walked after the cup tie at The Valley in 97

    Devastating information.

    I stand corrected on both fronts - apologies 

    Still proud I was there for our 1-0 win at Old Trafford via our Mark Stuart goal - great day   
  • I'll just point out, for the record, that killing our own managers doesn't count 😜

    "Who made Keegan quit, who made Keegan quit, Mark Kinsella, Mark Kinsella, he made Keegan quit".

    Remember that being sung on the terrace away at Reading the following weekend by two blokes who were absolutely pissed out of their head! Harshly, nobody else joined in.

    Bradford boss got the sack after we beat them 2-0 at home in the early 2000's. 

    Same goes for Peter Taylor at Leicester after the infamous "Steve Brown getting sent off on a stretcher" match.
  • After that performance by Exeter, there might be another one...
  • Graham Taylor at Wolves. Drew 0-0 at Molineux on the Sunday, gone the next day.

    One or two Bristol City managers fell victim to us, too. Jimmy Lumsden was one of them in 1993 (ish).

    When Parkinson was manager in the championship we went 17 games without a win until we beat Norwich away, I think? Their manager got the boot the next morning I'm pretty sure.

    Just looked it up and it was Glen Roeder!
  • Lets add Gary Rowett to the list then

    If Pompey fail to beat QPR on Boxing Day, and we beat them at their place, they may give Mousinho the boot..

    There's a pretty high chance that we've beaten Watford and they've sacked their manager afterwards, given how quickly they go through them
  • I remember that household name Jim Isley getting sacked by Blackburn , after we beat them at Ewood Park , 1980's. I'm sure there must be quite a long list.

    Mowbarry after we beat his side? Blackburn?
  • Two in one season!  Is there a league table for this?  We could be winning 🤔

  • Who was the other that we got sacked 
  • The ultimate shame for any Championship manager is to not beat Charlton. Chairmen around the country have the same thought - "fuck me, if we can't beat Charlton, we need a new manager".
  • Who was the other that we got sacked 
    Wasn’t it Sheehan this season, after the Swansea match? 
  • Maybe 2 occasions too where we’ve had to face a new manager/ caretaker manager bounce. Sheff Utd and Leicester in their first match in charge? 
  • Who was the other that we got sacked 
    Wasn’t it Sheehan this season, after the Swansea match? 
    Wikipedia gives his date of departure as 11 November, which means it was Ipswich who finished him off. So just Oxford and West Brom, unless there's someone else that we're all forgetting.

    Wasn't Rowett sacked after we beat Oxford in December? 

    Scrap that I see he was mentioned back in December.

    Ken Brown, who'd done very well at Norwich, got sacked after we beat them in 1987.

    Yes I was there, the game started with the chant "Atkinson Out" and went on for the whole game, needless to say they lost and we won 0-1 Mark Stuart scored.

    I can also remember being at Newcastle and the home fans were singing "sack the board, sack the board, sack the board" an hour before KO, again, we won 0-2.  Cant remember the year though, I think Robert Lee got one.     



  • One or two Bristol City managers fell victim to us, too. Jimmy Lumsden was one of them in 1993 (ish).
    I can remember being at Bristol City and winning 0-2 (I think),  Paul Mortimer scored at least one.
