February 17, 2023 #125 What is The New Manager Bounce, and is it a real thing?
Graham and Taylor take a look at a narrative that pops up every time a coach gets sacked: The New Manager Bounce. When things aren't working and clubs decide to sack their manager, it's often expected that with the hiring of a new manager will come improved results (hence, New Manager Bounce). But is it real? What do the stats say? Should you sack a manager when things seem bleak, or can that decision lead to greater problems? All that and much much more on today's episode!
