Could we have a column for days in post.

If open to this could we also have number of prime ministers during tenure as well ?

It might have been asked before, but how/why have the top two lasted so long? I'm not really up with Harrogate's and Wycombe's history over the past decade or so, but is it just a case of them both doing 'OK' enough to neither get sacked, nor poached by anyone else?

Just seems really odd (but refreshing) to see at a time when the average length of a manager's spell is something like two years!

Harrogate, is because his DAD owns the club!

Ainsworth got Wycombe to the Championship for the first time in their history and nearly kept them up a few years ago. If I remember rightly Derby managing to push some of their point deductions back ended up costing them. He got them to the play-off final too last season.

I think he’s under a bit of pressure this season though. Trundling along in mid table with some big names for a club of their size/league (Sam Vokes, Alfie Mawson, Gareth McCleary)

As HKFC said, the Harrogate manager is the son of the chairman but he’s done a decent job too. They’d never even made the conference before he took over, so even struggling in L2 is pretty impressive.

Thanks both. Every day's a school day :thumbsup:

I'm a bit surprised that a bigger club hasn't come in for Ainsworth - he's done pretty well for Wycombe and I thought someone may have taken a punt on him. Perhaps no CEO fancies a manager with a faded rock-star look

He was heavily tipped for the Blackburn job in the summer given as he is a Blackburn fan.

Don't know why that didn't happen

He's just soaring up the list now. Up to 73 following Jones leaving Luton and Richardson leaving Wigan. Still got the Wolves change to come on Monday, too (not that it impacts on his position)

It might have been asked before, but how/why have the top two lasted so long? I'm not really up with Harrogate's and Wycombe's history over the past decade or so, but is it just a case of them both doing 'OK' enough to neither get sacked, nor poached by anyone else?

Just seems really odd (but refreshing) to see at a time when the average length of a manager's spell is something like two years!
If John Coleman hadn't spent a couple of years when he left for a bigger club (Rochdale!) he'd have been top. 21 years in the job, in total. The reason being that he's taken Accrington to 4 promotions, 0 relegations, and the chairman more than recognises that mid-table league one on 2,000 gates is pretty darn good.

I think Harrogate and Wycombe are similar - the chairmen (and fans) don't have delusions of grandeur, and recognise that you can't win the league every year.

Beale went from QPR a while back, too.

Funny, because he was praised for his loyalty when given the chance to go to Wolves. But from the point he pledged his future to QPR they went on a horrendous run.

Then hot-footed it to Rangers!
