proven managers are sacked all the time, the average length of a managerial job in the league is about 18 months I think, most of them experienced.

Often managers who have been effective suddenly one day aren't, even at the same club, so we can't be in the situation where everything revolves around the manager.
You are possibly right it could be more stupidity than money, but of course you stand a better chance if you appoint an actual Manager not a coach, Hudson. Morison, Rizla, everyone knew they were going to be shit and McCarthy. TLG has listed where they all are, there were so many Managers looking for work this season and he picks Rizla?

The only time he got it right was with Warnock, we all knew what he was capable of, and he came and exceeded most expectations at that time.

He might have to start looking for a League One specialist promotion winning Manager.
