    This also means Pardew is the second longest serving manager (at a single club) in the Prem. Which is disgraceful.

    That can't possibly be true.

    Not that I don't believe you, it just sounds absolutely ridiculous.

    The average tenure of managers in the premier league when SAF, Moyes and Pulis were at their old posts was less than 4 years. Got to be close to 2 now.

    Much lower than two. There's only Pardew & Wenger who are actually over 2, and only three more over one (Allardyce, Jol & MacKay).

    Wenger has been there 17 years though. Surely the other 19 have close to 23 years between them? Can't be that much below two, surely?

  15. Number 11 CJ Downes

    Do you reckon there can still be manger dynasties of ~20+ years such as Wenger and SAF in the modern game?

    Edit: As in will terms such as those ever happen again at the top level.

    Would be incredibly surprised if they do tbh.

    I wouldn't. All you need is a semi-sane chairman, and a manager who's strong in the transfer market and loyal. Rare combination I admit.

    If there was to be one, it'd be for a team like Everton or Newcastle who aren't the best teams in the league, but the manager improves them from the off and they keep improving. As soon as a manager stops improving a team for a season, the players, fans and chairman will start to question the manager. 2 seasons of below par performances and a manager will be gone, no matter how much they've done. Football is too impatient to wait about.

    IMO Wenger is the last of a dying breed, for several reasons:

    1. Boards and chairmen simply do not have the patience to stick by a manager if he experiences teething problems in the job.

    2. It would be nearly impossible to do so at a 'smaller' club - good managers will quickly get snapped up by bigger clubs.

    3. Even the most successful manager will burn out or tire of a club after a few years.

    Number 2 is a big point there. I've no doubts Moyes would have been at Everton for years to come had United not snapped him up.
