since alex ferguson arrived at ot
23 £#%&!ing years. unbelievable.
look at this. number of managers since 1986: manchester united - 1 manager (sir alex ferguson) arsenal - 6 managers (steve burtenshaw, george graham, stewart houston, pat rice, bruce rioch, arsene wenger) liverpool - 6 managers (kenny dalglish, ronnie moran, graham souness, roy evans, gerard houllier, rafael benitez) chelsea - 13 managers (john hollins, bobby campbell, ian porterfield, david webb, glenn hoddle, ruud gullit, gianluca vialli, graham rix, claudio ranieri, jose mourinho, avram grant, liuz felipe scolari, ray wilkins) newcastle united - 17 managers (willie mcfaul, colin suggett, jim smith, osvaldo ardiles, kevin keegan, terry mcdermott, kenny dalglish, ruud gullit, steve clarke, sir bobby robson, john carver, graeme souness, glenn roeder, nigel pearson, kevin keegan, chris houghton, joe kinnear) manchester city - 17 managers (jimmy frizzell, mel machin, tony book, howard kendall, peter reid, tony book, brian horton, alan ball, asa hartford, steve coppell, phil neal, frank clark, joe royle, kevin keegan, stuart pearce, sven-goran eriksson, mark hughes) i've counted the various short-termers on the basis that if a club is idiotic enough to sack its manager without a replacement lined up then they deserve all the statistical piss-taking they get. £#%&!ing astonishing, when you think about it, though. the list of potential rivals he has seen off and variously driven into retirement/an early grave/profound mental health problems is quite remarkable. i really can't think of a parallel at an equivalent level in any sport, tbh. |

and mourinho and scolari didn't look quite so chipper on the way out as they did on the way in |
