23/24 Dec - Both Garry Monk at Middlesboro (18) and Carlos Carvalhal at Wednesday (19) sacked after playing each other..(Carvalhal leaving from 20th in the list after clocking up exactly two and a half years in charge)

31 Dec - the last casualty of 2017 is Mark Warburton at Forest (20th of the season)
5 Jan - Bundesliga regular Jos Luhukay takes the reigns at Wednesday - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/42586860

All calm for a couple of weeks then it all kicks off in Yorkshire:

BTW - when I checked the other day former U's man Lee Bradbury was the favourite to take over (despite only just taking the helm at Havant &amp Waterlooville).
BTW2 - Di Canio (along with Redknapp and Benitez) among favourites for both QPR or Soton should either sack their current incumbents....
BTW3 Alex McLeish has announced he is ready to return to club management, so expect no new vacancies to appear for a while, just in case...
A momentous day for this thread as the man at the top of the long standing ratings finally announces his departure. Someone born when he took over would have started university by now.

Was also interested to see one of the very first entries on this thread.

Latest Catch-up:

Perhaps the most eyecatching activity since my last effort are two announcements that are yet to actually happen:
on 18th April - Fleetwood announced the john Sheridan would be replaced by none other than Joey Barton on 2 June - a day after his suspension from all football related activities ends
and on 20th April - the last of the top flight dynasties - that of Arsene Wengers near 22 year reign at Arsenal - was announced to be coming to an end come the end of this season....

Meanwhile, back in normal land the more mundane comings and goings continued:
2 Mar - Michael Jolley appointed at Grimsby
3 Mar - Cotterill (36) sacked by Birmingham ....
4 Mar - to be replaced by Garry Monk
12 Mar - Jon Whitney (37) sacked by Walsall (35th on list)
12 Mar - Phil Brown takes over in Wiltshrie
12 Mar - Pelligrino (38, P9) sacked by Soton (57th on list) (1st PRem departure for two whole months!)
14 Mar - ... to be replaced by SParky hughes
16 Mar - Dean Keates leaves Wrexham to take over at Walsall
18 MAr - Darren Saarl (39) sacked by Stevenage (30th on list)
19 MAr - Westley (40) sacked by Barnet having been appointed just a week before Clotet was sacked...
19 MAr - ... to be repalced by Martin Allen
20 Mar - Dino Maamria takes over at Stevenage
21 Mar - Jaap Stam (41) sacked by Reading (36th on list)
22 Mar - Karl Robinson (42) resigns from Charlton (42nd on list) .....
22 Mar - ....to TAKE OVER AT OUFC
23 Mar - Paul Clement takes over at REading
24 MAr - GRaham Alexander (43) sacked by Scunthorpe (28th on list after 2yrs and 2days in the job)
2 APr - ALan Pardew (44, P10) sacked by West Brom
2 Apr - Hasselbaink (45) sacked by Noton
10 April - Mick McCarthy (46) calls it a day at Ipswich (from 8th on the list)
22 Apr - Dan Micciche (47) sacked by MK Dons
23 Apr - Jack Lester (48) sacked by Chesterfield

For the record, once Wenger finally leaves, there will be just two managers left who were already in situ when this thread first began:

Paul Tisdale (Exeter) - 11 years+ (26 June 2006) & Jim Bentley (Morecambe) - almost 7 years (13 May 2011)

with an eye-opening 3rd place on the list going to:
Gareth Ainsworth (Wycombe) - 5 years+ (c/t from 26 Sept 2012, perm 8 Nov)

with Neil Ardley (AFCW), Eddie Howe, Sean Dyche and Keith Hill (Rochdale) the only others to last 5 years,
Darryl Clarke (Bristol Rovers) the only extra to last 4 years
and just 6 more to make it past 3 years.

Interestingly, the list raises the Rooney Rule discussion again as while Keith Curle and Chris Hughton are both in the 3 year+ group, the next black manager on the list is Chris Powell at Southend who has been in place for a whole 90 days.

Busy few days ahead - yesterday SKy were saying that up to half of this season's Prem managers could leave this summer - Wenger, Moyes, Sam, Conte, Carvahal, Puel, Poch, Moore, Rafa, Hughes ... maybe others - we shall see:

Anyway, the dominoes are beginning to topple:
13 May - Wenger leaves Arsenal (54 P11, Prem Summer 1) ...
16 May - Allardyce sacked by Everton (55 , P12, PS2) ...
16 May - Moyes leaves West Ham (56, P13, PS3 ) ...

In other news, new #2 on the longstay list - Jim Bentley at Morecambe, is seen as favourite to take the Carlisle job, after 7 years in the role.
Chris Hughton bucks the trend and signs a new deal at Brighton

22 May - Manuel Pellegrini appointed on an alleged £7m/yr contract to manage West Ham
22 May - Gary Rowett leaves Derby (59) ....
22 May - to take the reigns at Stoke
23 May - Unai Emery appointed on an alleged less than £7m/yr contract to manage Arsenal

Ones to watch - Scottish Championship title winners St Mirren are set to lose boss Jack Ross to Stuart Donald's Sunderland....
..Frank Lampard also heavily linked to the Ipswich vacancy

Chris Wilder however has signed another year extension to his contract at Sheff Utd, keeping him there until 2021...

On another point - both sides relegated from League Two sacked their managers, with Martin Allen switching from Barnet to Chesterfield and John Still taking over at Barnet.
Managers of the two sides coming up are Mickey Mellon at Tranmere (apptd 6 Oct 16) which will put him 36th in the list and John Askey at Macclesfield who will be celebrating five years in charge in the next couple of weeks having been appointed on 4th June 2013, which will move him straight into 8th on the list.

Another busy few days, with a couple more Kiss of DEath moments:

25 May - Our friends at Sunderland appoint former St Mirren boss, Jack Ross, as manager
25 May - Nick Daws also appointed at Scunthorpe
30 May - Paul Hurst (60) leaves beaten playoff finalists Shrewsbury (from 37th on list) to take over at Ipswich
31 May - Frank Lampard moves into management at Derby
31 May - Marco Silva finally makes the move to Everton
1 June - So John Askey will not be moving straight into the top ten on the list as he has left Macclesfield for Shrewsbury
1 June - ...and Paul Tisdale (61) leaves Exeter after nearly 12 years in charge and from top of the list.
1 June - Paul Heckingbottom (62) leaves Leeds after just four months in charge.

2 June - date that young Joey Barton enters the world of management at Fleetwood, as his ban from all football ends

End of season departures from Prem League clubs still stand at 5, with Mark Hughes and DArren Moore signing new deals , but Conte still looks set to go and Real are said to be sniffing around Pochetino,

Just a couple more:

8 June - Ritchie Wellens (64) pays the price for Oldham being relegated
13 June - ....to be replaced by Frankie Bunn
13 June - GRaham Potter leaves Swedish side Ostersunds to become manager at Swansea - good luck
15 June - Ex Argentine and Chile boss Marcelo Bielsa appointed at Leeds

... and of course the whole Spanish conflict as Real announce that Spain boss Julen Lopetegui will become their new manager, just four days before the national side's first World cup game against Portugal. They did however, fail to inform the Spanish FA that even talks were in place let alone an announcement was coming until five minutes beforehand. The Spanish FA promptly sacked Lopetegui, and appointed Fernando Hierro in his place....
