Interesting stuff about sackings
Key points were that after the authors applied their statistical models, they could determine an optimal point for when a manager should be sacked, and also for determining when a manager was sacked too early.
Summary:
Sacked too late (that is, a more skilled manager may have kept the team up, or improved team performances):
Steve Wigley ? Southampton 2004/05
Mick McCarthy ? Sunderland 2005/06
Aidy Boothroyd ? Watford 2006/07
Sacked too early (that is, the manager was getting results above what was expected for their team, taking into account various circumstances):
Glenn Roeder ? Newcastle United 2006/07
Chris Coleman ? Fulham 2006/07
Martin Jol ? Tottenham Hotspur 2007/08
Avram Grant ? Chelsea 2007/08
Sven-G?ran Eriksson ? Manchester City 2007/08
