Curse Of The Manager Of The Month

[AlanWrightsShinyHead]

A colleague asked me today if I reckon Wilder will get manager of the month for October, to which my response was that I hope not as we'd definitely lose our next game if he does.

It got me thinking what percentage of managers do actually lose the next game after winning the award, and is there anything to the "curse"? Or is it just magnified by the media?

Any stattos on here fancy investigating??

Probably just the law of averages at work

Funnily enough I smell Orient stuffing us 6-0 on Sundi...

If we're going to lose a match I'm not bothered about a win on Sundi.

Only one competition matters this season!

I hope he wines it for October.................

And November and December and January and February and so on and so on............

The Racing Post has covered this as has their corresdent Kevin Pullein.
Laying teams with the manager of the month over the last five years would result in losses. Similarly, the stats regarding managerless teams or first games as manager are a myth too. Final one to avoid is the ex-player scoring market.

Hope he stays sober enough to keep up the good work.

He's always talking of being at the boozer during his post match interviews.....Maybe he's always pissed and sobering up would do more harm than good?

Unless they're called Ched Evans that is...

Not read past the OP, but regression to the mean is not a curse. If someone's won 4 and drawn 1 in a month that translates to a 120 point season, which as we all know happens all the time

The only award I give a flying about is that piece of silverware we win for ending this season as Champions.
Failing that the one for winning the play offs.
Then the FA Cup.
Nowt else counts.
