It's interesting though isn't it.

If we look at the Club objectively:

Roy Keane - 624 days
Paul Jewell - 650 days
Mick McCarthy - 1986 days
Paul Hurst - 148 days
Paul Lambert - 855 days
Paul Cook - 270 days

Hurst is the standout as being the shortest - we certainly have never 'hired and fired' - Magilton and Royle were over 1,000 days each as well.

However, for all that period, has that approach provided success? I'm not advocating hiring and firing but I think I would be right that many of the above got way, way more time than they would have at other clubs and still didn't/ couldn't deliver.

I like Cook, as a person he seems a really good fit for the Club but on the evidence we are seeing with our own eyes, was are Lambert levels since he joined, in fact in terms of points return it might be even less than Lambert?

I want him to succeed but, taking yesterdays match there is a lot there that we have seen from Town under Hurst, Lambert and Cook that hasn't been addressed.

Do we continue to do what Town have always done with their managers and stick with Cook - if we do, evidence suggests, so far, that we'll struggle to get out of this division.

The frustration is that, for me, this squad should easily be good enough to be in and around the top 2 - but we are so far from being that team it's amazing.
