Fergiescum is definitely an exception to the rule because of the lenght of his "cycle", but this doesn't mean you should chop managers every season either.

Arsenal have stuck with him because he has kept them in the Champions league without spending much money so they can pay the stadium off.

But he is still underachieving with that squad. They are always on the verge, but should be winning pots.

You're in favour of sticking with him aren't you?

We play with no heart, no soul, and it shows so much in games like last night. I hate it when the lads in the pub go on about City having a dream team of primadonas that dont gel but we all know its the truth.

Obviously this is all in reference to Fergiescum. I was just thinking, are there any other cases where this actually applies, other than to him?
Take Wenger. He's well under achieving and has been for years, and the arse have stuck with him, is it worth it? I know they're challenging for the title, but in true arse fashion, they'll bottle it and finish 4th. Then there is moyes, who did ok for a bit, and now is dropping into mediocrity. Ok, he's got no dough, and been unlucky with injuries, and to Everton maybe seen as a success, but its not really got them anywhere has it?
Take Barca. They change managers every 3 years or so. Its not like they fall apart. all the big teams in italy also, and the rest of the teams in spain. Even Bayern etc.
So I think Fergiescum is the exception, rather than the rule, and if the man you've got in isn't the right man, then changes need to be made.
Agreed?
