[quote="MTFCMusings"]I hear what you're saying Sedgy, but it can also be a bit of a myth that managers need time to make a club a success.
Mark Bonner, in his first managerial job, looks like he is going to get Cambridge promoted. Based on their ppg last season, they would have finished a full season on 56 points. We could end up with a better tally, but in the worst case scenario not far behind. This season they will finish 77 and 83 points.
Mike Duff took over Cheltenham in Sept 2018 and led them to 16th in his first season, with 57 points (again, close to our final tally this season). They were set for 82 points the following season when it was curtailed, and lost in the play-offs. Another example that the type of improvement we are looking for is possible. Of course, this season they have been promoted and will finish with somewhere between 78 and 87 points.
Ian Evatt is looking like he will get Bolton up in one season.
Derek Adams took over Morecambe in November 2019, and was on track for 40 points at the time the season was curtailed. A much lower total than we have managed this term. This season, they will finish 72-78pts. A massive improvement, from a much more position than we are currently in, and with a much lower budget.
So, there is plenty of evidence that a good manager can rapidly improve a team within a season and a half. There is no reason why people should not be expecting a play-off tilt.[/quote ]
Looking at the roller coaster ride most clubs have in Managers or the continental approach Head coaches patience is sadly lacking , Like a great building foundations have to be laid
from the Academy, player recruitment, Infrastructure,, Budget available, Discipline, and all these pieces have to fall in place to finish the puzzle.
New People can come in and make changes and results can improve, but in the long term things can become unstuck, failure to bring young players through, [increase in wages ]
Failure to bring in competent players [Discord in the dressing room ] not paying attention to none playing problems [can bring additional cost ] Also spending to much on wages or transfers
[ if promotion fails, less budget for following season ] and discipline [ player power can damage team spirit ] all these issues can mean in 18 months we need a new manager.
Its a merry go round to boom and bust,
Bolton going into league 1, believe me is not good for a club their siz
Derby are one of many that show changing managers is not a route to success , Bristol rovers have had 3 this season now relegated to league 2
