Are there any other examples to compare?

 

Looking at stability and the lack of evidence for the benefit.  The notion that after 10 years of mid-table stability a manager will then shoot up the league is bogus.

 

Any long serving manager tends to peak within 5 years and maintain that level or be sacked when they drop off.

 

 

 

How would Redknapp at Spurs work?  Or is he a bad example given that Spurs have arguably got worse since he left?

 

8th, 4th and 5th place finishes.  Don't think it matters what a team does once a manager goes, but don't think he was there long enough to be used as an example.  If he was though, it would just be another example of someone who peaked in year 2 of his reign and offers no credence to the notion that sticking by a manager offers anything other than continued performance at the level they set early on at best, diminishing returns otherwise.

 

Is the 8th, 4th and 5th about Redknapp?

 

First season takes over midseason when they where bottom, finish 8th & League Cup Final

4th next season

5th next season & QF's of Champions League

4th next season

 

Spurs & Redknapp was a great match for them. Silly chairman cost em hugely.

Our true form will be more or less reflected after 19 games when we'll have had near enough a representation of what we're like after playing everyone once.  We'll probably have 23 points or something like it.  It's hardly a tally to inspire thoughts of an improvement on last season and given Pardew's general second half of the season form it wouldn't surprise me at all if we finished on 40 odd points.  Enough to be flirting with the relegation battle at times, but probably enough to keep Pardew in his job regardless.  It's sickening really.

We'll be 11th this time tomorrow and 16th by the end of December.

 

Problem is, it's actually really difficult to "sink" in this league. Even with an abysmal run of form, the shit is so stale and thick at the bottom that it'll prop Newcastle up for ages. We'd need two months of rancid form to really threaten breaking into the relegation battle again, and then it wouldn't take much to remove themselves.
