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.

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.
