How do we stop the managerial Merry-Go-R...

BBC Sounds
About this episode

With the average tenure of a Premier League manager decreasing, what can be done to stop the constant change.

Can someone perform to the best of their ability with the threat of losing their job hanging over them?

Should managers be given a minimum period to prove themselves, or should there be a transfer-window of sorts for managers – both to stop clubs from dismissing managers after a handful of games….or to disrupt those at other clubs.

Panel: Sarah Mulkerrins, Nesta McGregor, Phil McNulty

Producer: Jake Katborg
