18 managers in just under 150 years.

[Archibald Leitch]

No, I don't consider them to be managers of the club.
Caretaker managers don't count.
I don't discount that both men did their honourable best in the circumstances, but they don't get onto any ceiling mural nonetheless.

I wouldn't count either of the Greames.

 

[ML9]

Almost half of them the last 15 years,another thing that rankled since Shyte got the keys.

 

[ao2]

We only had 3 in the first 95 years.

 

[ahalfallover]

I’m thinking if they didn’t do a full season their contribution as managers was hardly worthy of consideration.

It's a fair point

 

[Burton blue]

Souness was only the 8th after 114 years !

Derby county have had 20 managers in the last 20 years

 

[willg89]

Derby county have had 20 managers in the last 20 years

Nothing compared to Watford! Isn't it something stupid like ten in six or seven years?

 

[Stubo]

Watford have had 18 managers in 7 years

 

[BlueBaloo]

How many sellik managers did Sir Walter put on the dole during his time at Ibrox?

Extraordinary record

 

[Bluebear72]

McCall And Murty don't count , they were never officially managers , same as McDowell and Jimmy Nicholl.

Wee Durranty in there also

 

[npmac]

17 of the 18 for me.
Vaccinated Loyal

16 from 18 for me

 

[Nakedbear]

Sheffield Wednesday will have had 9 in the last 10 years.

 

[Tshirtguy]

14 in my life, 13 that I can remember seeing. One of the reasons Is Wallace and Smith having two terms in office.

 

[BlueFlagHigh]

Can anyone confirm if mcall and Murty count as official managers ? Or is it actually 16 we’ve had .

 

[OohAhHuistra]

Walter had just taken over month before my I was born.

 

[OohAhHuistra]

Can anyone confirm if mcall and Murty count as official managers ? Or is it actually 16 we’ve had .

I’d call it 16 personally

 

[claddie]

Although we should recognise Struth was in charge for 149 of those

 

[carlosapicella]

William Wilton
Bill Struth
Scot Symon
Davie White
Willie Waddell
Jock Wallace
John Greig
Greame Souness
Walter Smith
Dick Advocaat
Alex McLeish
Paul Le Guen
Ally McCoist
Stuart McCall
Mark Warburton
Greame Murty
Pedro Caxhinha
Steven Gerrard

Apart from 2 or 3 names, that's one hell of an illustrious list.

I find it astonishing that we've only had 18 managers in our entire history.. (Obvously haven't included unofficial/interim appointments)

I'd love to know (too lazy to research) how that stacks up with other clubs across Britain.

FFS apart from Wilton and Struth I've seen us play under all the rest,and I'm 68(69) next month

 

[carlosapicella]

17 of the 18 for me.
Vaccinated Loyal

16 for me ,but well done sir,respect and many more may you see WATP

 

[Wickbear]

Sorry to be pedantic but it’s Graeme Souness and Murty!

 

[AzorIbrox]

One things for sure - it's looking like Gerrard will be the first one in a while to get a mural painted at Ibrox.

Believe PLG was the last one? Think we jumped the gun with that one

 

[NE Cornerbear]

Only William Wilton outside my lifetime, and when I started going to games we were on our 3rd manager, Scot Symon. IMO Stuart McCall and Murty don't count as they were never appointed manager, only stepping in until an appointment was made.

 

[Northwest Ranger]

Born when WIllie Waddell was in charge.

 

[BillStruthsGreenhouse]

I thought Murty was formally appointed as full time rather than Caretaker, though when he stepped back the club rewound a wee bit and thanked him for holding the fort.

To be honest I have no issue with Murty, and him being recognised as Manager, as the he stepped up to the plate when asked, and stepped back when asked. He comes across as a decent guy with a passion for football.
