Trouble is most managers are " only 6 games from the sack" ( where have I heard that before) but I would expect the average time each one is at any club will not be much over 18 months, just look at the number scunny have gone through this season. I would assume sacked ones e.g. Hughes, keep getting new jobs because today the job entails more than just 3/4 hours coaching a day and a game on Saturday, media, transfers, financial contracts etc.

As I recall, during that UEFA Cup run, Middlesbrough scraped through to the final somewhat fortunately following some pretty average performances (helped by having strikers such as Viduka and Hasselbaink on the books!) and then got dicked in the Final. McClaren's only real success has been at Twente where he won the Dutch League.

He's probably a good coach, but managerially, he's not achieved much despite plenty of opportunities, albeit mostly at medium-sized clubs.

They qualified for that UEFA cup run by finishing 7th though, which isn't to be sniffed at. Mind you, that was his only top half finish in 5 years there!

This one takes the biscuit for me- Kevin Bond is back as manager of Southend. Absolutely hopeless. He was tile to the coat tails of 'Arry and got loads of 'coaching' jobs. When he got the manager's job at Bournemouth he was a disaster.
