That's not too bad, but it still works out at 1 every 2 years, doesnt give much time to "build" anything.

Yeah the only "building" went on from Dalziel (useless), Reid (Budget constraints) and McCall (best on the list so far), all the others just had to make do or sign junior jobbers/their mates

We’ve had 8.

Billy McLaren 99-03
Neil Watt 03-06
Gerry Britton 06-08
Derek Ferguson 08-09
Keith Knox 09-12
Stephen Aitken 12-15
Brian Reid 15-17
Stephen Farrell 17-Present

If we’d added another decade only another 2 would appear, Campbell Money and Sanny McAnespie.

In 30 years only 3 managers have actually been dismissed by the club.

13 for us, with a few very short reigns (Anelka, Levein, Hughes). Basically you are unlikely to get more than 2 years as Rovers manager unless your name is John McGlynn.

Levein, McGlynn and McKinnon are the only 3 to have been ‘poached’ by other clubs and even Levein was due to his reputation rather than the job he was doing with us. The rest have either been sacked or left by ‘mutual consent’.
