Kenny Jackett 17th longest-serving boss

Two more Championship managers have lost their jobs this week, meaning 13 clubs have changed their boss in 2015-16 already.

Boss Kenny Jackett has been at Wolves for just over two-and-a-half years.

But of English football's 92 league managers, he is now the 17th-longest serving boss at their current club. In the Championship, he is the sixth-longest serving.

That's behind Karl Robinson (MK Dons), Steve Bruce (Hull City), Sean Dyche (Burnley), Mick McCarthy (Ipswich Town) and Simon Grayson (Preston North End).

Rotherham's Neil Redfearn got the boot on Tuesday with the Millers sitting in the Championship relegation zone.

But the sacking of Paul Clement at Derby, a team five points off the top of the table, after just eight months in charge, really raised eyebrows.

Is Jackett still surprised by decisions such as these? He said: "To a degree.

"But it's the nature of the industry, that's the way it is for all of us in it, whether you're a player, a coach, or whether you're a head coach, maybe the head coach's profile then is a little bit different.

"If you've been in there, it's similar when you're a player, you could get an injury or be left out. It's a privilege to be inside football.

"It's hard to comment on situations at other clubs because you just don't know the insides and the relationships, so you keep your own counsel and look after your own club.

"I appreciate and understand that's the way the job is. When people say they want their own team – I feel when you go to a job, from day one that is your team.

"That's it, good, bad or indifferent. Obviously it's accelerated. The interest in football has grown again, the Premier League is the most popular in the world.

"Then with the TV money, I was reading yesterday you get £99m for finishing bottom, which is a staggering statistic. The competition to get there and stay there is very big."

The average tenure of bosses, particularly in the Championship, tends to decrease year on year.

How much time does Jackett believe a manager or head coach needs to really do the job justice and stamp their authority on a team?

He said: "It very much depends on what you're taking over. If you go into a club and you've got a good team, you've got a better chance, obviously.

"It depends on degrees of strength of the club in your division. The other thing is relationship with the owners, their vision, what they see.

"I don't think there's a set time, it's an ongoing process of trying to improve, even if there's a dip for a period.

"Obviously, we all know what can happen in that dip. But then it's an ability to be able to come out of that dip, come out of the other side and go again.

"If you're looking at Sir Alex Ferguson, that's a strength of theirs, to see the way through. Within that period people can make changes."

Derby owner Mel Morris highlighted a lack of attacking football under Clement as the primary reason the former Real Madrid assistant manager losing his job.

Morris thinks playing the 'Derby Way' is more of a priority than results. Is that a notion Jackett agrees with?

He said: "I think results are number one, definitely. But we are in the entertainment industry. It is a consideration.

"It's not quite as high as results, but style of football and what supporters want to see – they want to be entertained."
