I actually think he will keep Leeds up. Haven't actually watched Leeds or hardley any premier League games this season but looking at the table it's not too difficult. Just hope he drags West ham and Everton down.

In the 20 years since they've now had 27 (including caretakers).
Unfortunately, we are in "glass houses" territory ourselves:
We had 17 Managers between 1920 and 2006
In the 17 years since we've now had 21 (including caretakers)
And unfortunately modern fans are as much a problem in this as anything else. So many calls for managers to just be replaced after a couple of bad games. I wish clubs would stick with managers longer.
In today’s world, there’s every chance we’d have sacked Curbs the first season we were in the premier league because he took us down.
Any club that ends up with 3 managers in a season deserves to go down.
The issue with excluding them is that, on occasions, caretaker Managers last less time than permanent ones - Les Reed, for example, lasted less than six weeks as Manager whereas Johnnie Jackson served longer than that as a caretaker before he was appointed permanent Manager. Equally, should we discount his period as caretaker because it didn't count?
For the record though this is the full list with those in bold permanent - that is still an average of a permanent Manager a year for the last 17 years. Curbs served for almost 15 years prior to this "run":
Dean Holden 22 Dec 2022 to date Anthony Hayes 06 Dec 2022 to 21 Dec 2022 Ben Garner 08 Jun, 2022 to 05 Dec, 2022
When caretakers manage for a while then get made permanent, that to me counts as one managerial period, not two. The same thing happened with Bowyer, who was caretaker for ages.
Managers who are clearly only caretakers for a brief period until someone else gets appointed fall into a slight no mans land, as it would be silly to ignore Hodgson's current spell at Palace for example because he was just a caretaker, ditto Warnock at Huddersfield.

Garner and Marshall are at Colchester, Scott Lindsay left Swindon to go to Crawley, I can't see them returning
Not coming. Signed a new 5yr deal with Burnley.
Doncaster Rovers have sacked boss Danny Schofield after they finished 18th in League Two.
The 43-year-old replaced Gary McSheffrey in October but won just 10 of his 33 matches in charge.
