The DT92 Sack Race 2016/17
One casualty of the new shadowy world of football club ownership has been the long-term manager. These new organisations demand quick success to maximise profits from their investment, so if the club isn't in the top 2 by Xmas they're going to get a new man in - usually one who has been recently removed from a similar post elsewhere.
We don't have all managers in our database yet but the records since 2011 should be accurate. Note that we also include Caretaker-Managers where known.
