The last time we lost four Premiership games on the trot was the season we were relegated ... and the signs are not too removed from that horror season.
How often have we heard in the last two weeks those words of wisdom: "Chelsea have had nine managers in nine seasons; and Everton have stuck with David Moyes for ten years!"
But the facts are -
a) Everton have won nothing in those ten years.
b) Chelsea have won the title three times (been runners up four times); the FA Cup four times; League Cup twice ... oh yes, and won the Champions League once and lost the final (to penalties) once.
So in that one history lesson we have learnt that "stability" in management doesn't mean jack shit!
We ask you ... how long do you think Alan Pardew will stay in the job at St James' Park?
