Some important stats for RD to consider

in General Charlton
In this generally excellent article about the day ahead for Stuart Pearce as Forest take on Derby, this particular para is highly pertinent, (and we understand that RD is a man of figures)

"The point was made by the Forest Boffin website recently, pointing out that of the last 30 teams to reach the top division only two have done it with a mid-season change of manager. Only nine managers have done it in their first season and, on average, those who have gone up have been in charge for 694 days. Mick McCarthy, for example, is a good barometer of what can happen when a capable manager is shown a degree of patience. McCarthy won promotion in his third season at Sunderland and Wolves and could conceivably do the same with Ipswich this year."

Guy Luzon has been given a contract for only 551 days...
