Well said. I started following Morecambe in 1995 when Jim was in charge and in that time we´ve had just 3 managers - an average tenure of 8 years per manager. Wonder how many managers your other lads have had in that time, Dave?

Just for curiosity I checked. I make it 17 according to Wikipedia (only counting Mourinho & Ray Wilkins once too!).
