Stats around length of time shouldn't include managers that have left of their own accord though.
What Biscan saidIs Wenger not a PL manager then? Or is the point not strong enough with him included?
What Biscan said
And he distorts the mean therefore masks the overall reality.
Hes the exception to the rule.

6 years when the average lifespan of a PL manager (when calculated minus Wenger) is 22 months.
A big gamble unless there's some performance related clauses in the deal that allow for a termination without paying up the deal in full.
Current I think, it was a stat I heard being discussed on TS a few months backIs this the average of men currently in post or all PL managers there have been?
If the latter, why only ignore Wenger? Why not Fergie, Pulis, etc?
If only current guys, it's a bullshit stat since they've not finished their current reign.
If you're going to apply an average, you can't pick and choose what to include.
Why couldn't Klopp be a Wenger and not part of this made up average then?
PS...remember I've already could this new contract bullshit too, he already had a contract on which the ink was still bloody drying!

Care to name a few (barring Wenger) who've been in their current job for longer than 22 months then mate?
40 < 72 monthsOur last manager was 40 months. Liverpool aren't responsible for the employment of managers at other clubs.
Except Roberto Martnez, he wanted Liverpool job but had to settle for second best.Liverpool aren't responsible for the employment of managers at other clubs.
40 < 72 months
Just saying

In maths it would be marked as an anomaly in a graph and you'd ignore it when drawing your average line![]()
In maths, you consider all the figures before doing the calculation.
Nope, ignore the anomaly.
And all previous contributing figures or include other the "anomalies"...?

If you're looking at s lot of data and it's all around say 20/21/22 then you have one of 250 you would ignore it![]()

Nope you'd say there are loads of clubs with the likes of Villa at one end with 4 months and Arsenal at the other end with 20 years so instead lets look at our own club and our own manager
We already give more time to managers than average. If you care about Tobes' 22 months average we should have sacked Klopp after 4 months. Is that the policy you would expect FSG to follow after looking at the stats?
Now we've got no chance of meeting the 22 month average, so how about we just admit it's not relevant to us anyway
Klopp has been 7 years at his last 2 clubs and now he's got a contract to be 7 years here
Don't you think the amount of time Klopp spends at clubs is more relevant to Klopp's contract than the amount of time Tim Sherwood does?
