Incidentally isn't the average time for a Championship manager to keep his job something less than 18 months? If so, Top Flight's wish for Brian to get at least 3 years is statistically unlikely to happen.

How many of the managers of the teams above us have been in post longer than 18 months though.

quickwingerswife We watched Reading at Elm Park since the late 50s,then joined the nouveau riches at Madjeski and it has been fantastic. Presently the bubble has burst and we look like a relegation candidate for next season. Please someone put our minds at rest. Where's that ray of sunshine? Please keep Championship status,

West Stand Man Conversely, without the shit period that followed the purple patch we'd be champions.

I'd advise caution in expressing some very fair concern on this message board because the usual all-too-regulars here will round upon you with their customary delusion.

Top Flight What are you talking about?
A debate is an exchange of views and opinions.

floyd__streete Anyway, here's an 'exchange of views and opinions' for you. Brian McDermott is one of the very best things about the club at the moment (take that any way you want). There will inevitably be a huge turn over in playing personnel next season and it will be a difficult ask to hit the ground running, so you could expect us to struggle initially and then it depends on the patience of the Board and the supporters doesn't it. On the bright side, we've seen people like Fosu and Samuel excel out on loan so hopefully they will get the chance and we've got to hope and pray they can step up because otherwise you'd have to say based on all the evidence of the last couple of seasons we are going to struggle and struggle badly. Sorry if that isn't unduly positive enough.

Probably less than 50%.

Hoop Blah Are they still in the job because they've been successful?
Or successful because they're still in the job and clubs have maintained a bit of consistency?

It's probably a bit of both Hoop Blah.
I can't believe we are having a debate now about whether 3 months is enough time to judge a manager and if he hasn't made any improvements inside 3 months it would be ok to sack him....

Lower West 60%. With league standing reflecting this as well. Continuity is a factor in being successfull.
