Just looking at some stats at these are the average time (in seasons) for a manager:

Barclays Premier League  1.76 
npower Championship  1.06 
npower League One  1.45 
npower League Two  1.71

Shockingly low really given these are the average.

*

Added the Swindon stats:

Longest Serving Manager

Sam Allen - 31 years
1902 - 1933
 
Total Number Of Managers
 
Since Inception  33 
This Season  1 
Previous 5 Seasons  5 
Previous 10 Season  9 
 
Avg Duration Of Managers
 
Overall  3.16 
Since Premier League  1.27 
Previous 5 Seasons  1.05 
Previous 10 Seasons  1.23 
Previous 20 Seasons  1.21 
 


Interesting that.

It's a bit tricky when our last two managers have walked but whoever we appoint I hope we stick with them long enough to give us some fucking stability.

But it won't happen.

Nine managers in 10 years, three of whom didn't manage 20 games, two didn't last a full league season of 46 matches, one barely scraped over that mark and three who were given time and took us to the promotion and/or the play-offs.

It's a bit of a loose argument but that's my argument for longevity!

Well the Board know Cooper is desperate, so they could call him Interim Manager and pay him less than Asst Manager....while Power does the job. Sorted innit.

Just catching up, where has Cooper said he is desparate for the job under any terms?

Sam said on Twitter that he'd texted Power today regarding comment/interview.

So many simple things that are completely puzzling lately, not least that we get a comment from a non-exec board member but total silence from the club and the man himself regarding the DoF role. Are the board really stupid enough to think we're as naive as that?

Cooper's last two gigs have been at Kettering and Telford....2 clubs who make us look like a model of good management and stability....sort of thing where you get a month contract and getting paid is a wing and a prayer. Not the sort of actions of a man who can be too picky.

Fair play to him though a job is a job and it keeps you in the loop...I'm sure he'd be more than happy to put up with Power, for a 1 year contract.

Suspect it's more likely Power's track record which could politely be described as "spotty"

Thanks Reg, that clarifies matters.

You don't send an interim on an overseas bonding exercise unless they're going to remain at the club in some capacity, right? Perhaps you do.

I expect Cooper to remain, still think the club are going to appoint someone else though. Either way, I doubt it'll announced until they return from Portugal.

When is that by the way?
