As a result of Martin O'Neill's shock resignation from Aston Villa yesterday Blackwell is now the 20th longest serving managaer in English football.

Surprising stat. Almost as surprising is that the 10th place manager has only been in charge 4 years.

And it shows the good old birthday paradox in action too

That's too much to compute at this time in the morning, especially when you've still got COD gunfire ringing in your ears from the night before!

In every year that John Coleman has been in charge at Accrington they've finished higher than the season before, or (one one occasion) in the same position. That's pretty impressive.

Alex Ferguson has been manager of Manchester United for my entire life. That's impressive.

Thankyou - you've just made me feel even older!

I can't believe David Moyes is 4th - it doesn't seem that long since he was in charge at Preston.

That was the one which jumped out at me. I still think of him as being quite new there. Eight years????? Good grief...

This didn't last very long.
