Yeah, you don't want to end up with disasters like Arsene Wenger or Alex Ferguson, do you? |
Wengers probably not the best example, given that he outstayed his welcome by a good few years!
Just saying managers should only stay 4 years is silly but there is an element of truth to the point - pretty much all managers fail eventually reaching a point where they’ve taken teams as far as they can. Ferguson was one of the very rare exceptions to that rule - in fact probably the only manager I can think of in my lifetime that you can say that about |  |

Do you think that without the cash drain of the new stadium and a bigger transfer budget Wenger's might have been a better story? I still rate him as someone who looked to the long term and produced better results (and football) than anyone could have expected in his first fifteen or so years.
From the lower leagues Paul Tisdale is another good example, just checked how long he was at unfashionable Exeter and have seen that he was born in Valetta, how many other managers can you say that of? |  |

Maybe but I don’t think there can be any doubt that Arsenal had long needed a fresh face and approach by the time he left - everything had got far too comfortable. Probably one of the main reasons Ferguson was able to continue being so successful was his ruthlessness in overhauling the squad, which Wenger clearly didn’t possess given how long some players were able to hang around at Arsenal for
Fair shout on Tisdale - and I’ve just realised one other example that I forgot was Dario Gradi at Crewe (on the field at least, probably best not to get into the recent revelations there). It’s certainly unusual though - especially at the top level | |

We can't be hypocritical here, a lot of Brighton fans wanted him gone because of the turgid football he was serving up... |  | | |
