iansheff   88 #109 Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) Yes the managers last a long time at the Lane, a lot longer than the Wednesday managers who don't get time to gradually settle in before they are sacked.  Bryan Robson 9 months Kevin Blackwell 18 months Gary Speed, ok he left for a better job, 4 months Mickey Adams 4.5 months David Weir 4 months Nigel Adkins 11 months  Edited January 6, 2019 by iansheff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
petcharlie   10 #110 Posted January 9, 2019 Nice to see Stoke have set on a up and coming british manager Nathan Jones.Have thought for some time he has what it takes to succeed at a higher level good luck to him.This means Luton are managerless so it could work in the owls favour.I will look with interest at his progress at the potters.Also two more up and coming managers will soon in my opinion soon be on the up at Lincoln and Accrington.
