When Russell Slade lost his job at Charlton last week, he became the seventh managerial dismissal at the Valley since March 2014.
An experienced manager with close to 800 professional games under his belt, the 56-year-old Englishman lasted just six months and 21 matches in charge.
He may have won three and drawn two of his last six league games, as well as guiding the League One club into round two of the FA Cup, but a 3-0 defeat at Swindon Town proved to be too much for the club's owner, Roland Duchatelet.
Before Slade, Chris Powell, Jose Riga (twice), Bob Peeters and Guy Luzon all had their employment terminated by the Belgian businessman, who took over the club in January 2014. Of the seven, only three lasted for more than 20 games - Peeters (28), Luzon (36) and Slade (21).

PS: Clearly need to spend a lot more time of my existence scrutinising every single post and thread that is stuck on here. Note to self - Keep up with the Jones' and don't be so remiss in future!!
