peasy23 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Assuming Motherwell appoint someone quickly, it will mean that 24 SPFL managers have been in their job less than a year. That's mind boggling IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDITED to add - Ally McCoist is of course now "serving 12 months notice" at Rangers but remains the manager for now.

Clearly Potter is more than a classic "caretaker" appointment given that he's been given the job to the end of the season now so I've considered him a permanent appointment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyline Drifter Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) The flood of recent changes means that only 8 managers have been in charge more than 2 years, and only 3 have been in charge more than 2.5 years! And that 3 includes McCoist who seems destined to depart before the weekend. If he goes that will leave only Jim McInally (at Peterhead for 3 years, 2 months) and Dick Campbell (at Forfar for a fairly incredible 6 years and 7 months now!) as managers in situ for more than two and half years. 18 of Scotland's 42 senior clubs have changed their manager since the final game of last season (will become 19 if McCoist goes). Only 18 managers have more than one year in their current job (again will drop to 17 when McCoist goes, presuming that's before mid-January).

As Kenny McDowall has been placed in charge to the end of the season I've treated him as a proper appointment and not a caretaker in the same way John Potter is. I presume none of the caretakers at St Mirren, Ayr or Livingston have been guaranteed the job for any period of time? Happy to be corrected if they have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyline Drifter Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Only six guys in charge for over two years. Yikes. Yeah, though that's specifically in terms of one club. There are at least another four (McNamara, Johnston, Hartley, Duffy) who have been in employment for more than two years but moved clubs in that time). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
