Short-Serving Managers


Recommended Posts

Posted

People now openly discussing how long Neil McCann should be given to turn things around got me thinking - which Dundee manager had the shortest time in the hotseat?

Without googling, Iain Munro and Alan Kernaghan are the ones that spring to mind for serving less than a full season. Bomber would come into contention if you discount the time he spent as caretakers as well.

Chisholm? 

7 months, though probably very few games given he was manager over a summer.

On a related subject, who has managed Dundee for at least a game as caretaker? I think Davie Farrell did. Any others?

Bobby Mann helped out smithy post Kerno did he not?

also think Gerry Britton took the reigns briefly at the start of that season.

Paul Hartley

oh sorry my mistake I misread the topic as managers who were given far too long :rolleyes:

Can you imagine the abuse Kerno would be getting on here during this run of games in the league between February and April?

Three points from nine games and some truly horrific defeats.

Clyde 3-3 Dundee
QoS 0-0 Dundee
Dundee 2-4 Hamilton
Airdrie 7-0 Dundee
Dundee 0-1 St Johnstone
Stranraer 1-1 Dundee
Dundee 0-1 Brechin
St Mirren 2-1 Dundee
Dundee 0-1 Clyde
