Professional football is a ruthless business and management is perhaps the most volatile part of it.
For all the talk of philosophies and long-term plans, managers are rarely in any job long enough to deliver what they promise.
Implementing an ambitious new style of play, promoting youngsters from the academy and building for the future are all noble aims, but results matter more than anything else.
