Having thought this , I decided to have a look at how many of the current 24 Championship club managers (including acting managers for a couple of clubs) have had the chance to put in place anything long term under their tenure. In my view , the results reinforce the view that no manager gets proper time to see through major changes at a club.
The longest serving current manager is Simon Grayson at PNE who has been there 3 years 8 months. Second is Mick McCarthy at Ipswich (2 years 11 months). No other manager has been at a club for over 3 years and only 7 of the 24 (including the above 2) have held the job for over a year.
Arsene Wenger has been in charge at Arsenal for only 1 year short of the total service length of all the Championship managers added together.
Championship management - the revolving door of football management.
