A mate of mine has just sent me a tweet going on aboutn how Chelsea have had 24 manager since 2000. More that there have been popes.
We have had 39.
We really are a ridiculous club.
Only 23 were permanent managers though (in the 23 that
does count Gunning who even though is technically a temporary manager he can be classed as manager for managing 18 games).

17 were temporary with some doing more than 1 spell as temp manager.
Breaking down the figures further the temporary managers have been - with games in charge figures.
David Tuttle 0
Ady Williams 2
Dave Byrne 18 (2 terms)
Paul Bodin 2
Fab Picarretti 1
Tommy Miller 2
Lee Power 4
Matt Taylor 1
Noel Hunt 2
Tommy Wright 2
Gav Gunning 1st time 3 (2 terms)
Then in the permanent manager list there have been a few that for whatever reason didnt stay long and all left of their own volition and not the club deciding, and, all with less games that Gunning has been in charge.
Martin Ling 9
Dennis Wise 17
Kevin Macdonald 14

That TBH seems a pretty standard turnaround of managers at this level I would think.
