Seen laid out in table format the short terms of Championship managers is shocking. Big Mick McCarthy is the longest serving at nearly 5 years. Championship Club Manager Appointed Predecessor Aston Villa Steve Bruce 12 Oct 2016 Roberto di Matteo Barnsley Paul Heckingbottom 15 Jun 2016 Lee Johnson Birmingham City Harry Redknapp 18 Apr 2017 Gianfranco Zola Bolton Wanderers Phil Parkinson 10 Jun 2016 Neil Lennon Brentford Dean Smith 30 Nov 2015 Marinus Dijkhuizen Bristol City Lee Johnson 6 Feb 2016 Steve Cotterill Burton Albion Nigel Clough 7 Dec 2015 Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink Cardiff City Neil Warnock 5 Oct 2016 Paul Trollope Derby County Gary Rowett 14 Mar 2017 Steve McClaren Fulham Slavisa Jokanovic 27 Dec 2015 Kit Symons Hull City Leonid Slutsky 9 Jun 2017 Marco Silva Ipswich Town Mick McCarthy 1 Nov 2012 Paul Jewell Leeds United Thomas Christiansen 15 Jun 2017 Garry Monk Middlesbrough Garry Monk 9 Jun 2017 Aitor Karanka Millwall Neil Harris 29 Apr 2015 Ian Holloway Norwich City Daniel Farke 25 May 2017 Alex Neil Nottingham Forest Mark Warburton 14 Mar 2017 Philippe Montanier Preston North End Alex Neil 4 Jul 2017 Simon Grayson Queens Park Rangers Ian Holloway 11 Nov 2016 Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink Reading Jaap Stam 13 Jun 2016 Brian McDermott Sheffield Wednesday Carlos Carvalhal 30 Jun 2015 Stuart Gray Sheffield United Chris Wilder 12 May 2016 Nigel Adkins Sunderland Simon Grayson 29 Jun 2017 David Moyes Wolves Nuno Espirito Santo 31 May 2017 Paul Lambert
............ and then there are some who seem to last forever as a manager. This one has a long shelf life.
I'm told every manager has, somewhere about his person, a small date stamp tattoo including the words 'only suitable for employment in Scotland or at QPR after this date'.
Frank de Boer sacked by Palace after just four games at the insistence of the American owners. Four games? Absolutely insane. Roy Hodgson installed for at least a couple of weeks, I sincerely hope they lose every game between now and the end of the season.
