Re: History of Club Managers
Didn't Bobby Gould go to Wales from us, or was he there before us
Re: History of Club Managers
Think Len Ashurst went to Sunderland
Phil Neil went to Man City

Ah yes - Ashurst to Sunderland. Good one.
(Man City must have been desperate if they poached Phil Neal from us!)

I just looked: Gould went from Wales to us to Cheltenham Town to Weymouth Wanderers - so a downward spiral even by our standards.....
Re: History of Club Managers
Frank Burrows went to Portsmouth I believe.

Wasn't that initially as assistant manager to John Gregory?

Neal went to Man City to be their assistant manager. Bit strange to ditch a managerial role to be someone's deputy but probably says more about us at the time.

Lennie Lawrence had a decent run within the management team of clubs at the highest level.

Yes, I think that’s right, but then he got the job a few months later.
Re: History of Club Managers
OK, from the replies so far it sounds like:
Ashurst to Sunderland (thanks for the reminder - I recall it being quite painful at the time) is the only one, with all the rest leaving to become assistants to another manager. (Burrows going to Pompey and taking Gilligan with him, was also a blow)
I think that Lennie Lawrence was also sacked by the club.

Yes, Lennie Lawrence was sacked at the end of 04/05 and Dave Jones was appointed a few days later.
