Will we ever have 'Managerial Stability' ?

Confession : My feathers, beak and head are spinning with the regularity of managerial changes at Palace in the last dozen years. I am not espousing us going down the Arsene Wenger route, but my tattoo artist is making a fortune at my expense. And as for the spending on managerial contracts ? Will we ever get and keep somebody good in the absence of another messy divorce ?

Once we have a good few more than 15 quality players I believe we can. Get close to 2 per position and I think managers are likely to stay.

I bloody hope so, because if we don't achieve that stability soon, and carry on averaging a manager a year, we're never going to achieve security in this league.

Playing devil's advocate here, but the period of managerial instability since 2010 purchased the club (seven managers in seven years) has coincided with a record-setting spell in the top flight and an FA Cup final appearance. I guess our luck will eventually run out, but maybe the chaos just suits us? Since Roman Abramovich purchased Chelsea, they've also had a high turnover of managers (12 in 13 years) which has coincided with the club's best period in its history, with five PL titles, the Champions League and Europa League in the trophy cabinet. Maybe stability is overrated?

I can see where the op is coming from we always seem to lurch from one managerial crisis to the next but it does seem to be becoming the norm these days and it has worked for us these last few seasons. Perhaps it helps stop players getting complacent and freshening the training etc up.I wonder if Steve P ever gets a holiday ?

I would not mind changes of managers if they weren't always in crisis or at least unplanned situations. There hasn't been a calm transition from one manager to the next.

Maybe stability is overrated? Arsenal are the poster child for managerial stability. How's that working out for them? I think something like 4 of the last 6 Premiership champions have had a 1st-year manager. This year, it's possible that the domestic trophies and the Europa League will all be hoisted by 1st-year managers (unless Wenger can get a win at Wembley on Saturday). A revolving door to the manager's office is the new normal. It's not fun, especially when it's the manager walking out on the club, but it's where football is today.
We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football. |

What club has managerial stability these days though? Seems the norm to chop and change. Totally appreciate the point though.

ok, so rephrase the question. Losing managers can get sacked....that is ok and happens at every club. And clubs like Real Madrid seem to change manager every five minutes anyway - even when they are winning silverware. but after Bruce, Pulis, Allardyce, Dougie Freeman......how can we hang onto managers that are proving themselves to win games ?
