Victims of their own success?

Fri Jul 03, 2015 11:17 am

The last four managers to win the Championship before 2014/2015 are all currently out of a managers job, with all being sacked by their clubs virtually within the year since winning it:

2011 - Neil Warnock (sacked Dec 2011 by QPR)
2012 - Brian McDermott (sacked March 2013 by Reading)
2013 - Malky Mackay (sacked December 2013 by Cardiff)
2014 - Nigel Pearson (sacked June 2015 by Leicester)

I'd imagine Eddie Howe is unsackable at AFCB, probably would only quit for a bigger job, but who knows in this day and age!?

Thinking about it, Chris Hughton was sacked within a year at Newcastle (2010 champions) as well but is currently in work at Brighton.
