How long should a manager get?

Where fellow sufferers gather to share the pain, longing and unrequited transfer requests that make being a Wanderer what it is...

a quote by green man "Heard Adrian Boothroyd interviewed before and after that game and I was very impressed by what he said. (Imagine the antithesis of Brian Robson.) I think he could go far."
and another
"Did you not Google him?

The word on the streets is that Adrian Boothroyd (Watford) is a young manager in the 'Big Sam' role. Mind you, those at the 3-0 cup drubbing might not agree"

Have you seen his record yourself? Are you sure you are looking at the right guy?

He was appointed manager of Watford in March 2005 at the age of 34.[5] The board backed their decision despite initial scepticism by Watford fans and the club entered a new era under Boothroyd. He managed to steer the club clear of relegation, with 1–0 victories over Stoke City and Rotherham United.

At the beginning of the 2005–06 season, Boothroyd signalled his intentions by declaring that his aim for the forthcoming campaign would be promotion to the Premier League. As the season progressed, Boothroyd's side gained more and more confidence, and come the end of the season, had cemented a place in the play-offs. After overcoming Crystal Palace in the two-legged semi-final, Boothroyd's team came up against the club where he used to coach; Leeds United. Watford won 3–0 and claimed a place in the top league of English football. The rapid improvement in Watford's results in his first season in charge led to Boothroyd winning the Championship Manager of the Month in February 2006.[6] Boothroyd continued as Watford manager for the duration of the 2006–07 Premier League season,

A good start to the 2007–08 season saw Watford twelve points clear at the top of the Championship after nineteen games (imagine if we did that well in our next 20 games)

Boothroyd was appointed as manager of Northampton Town on 30 November 2011 on a one year, rolling contract.[18] Northampton had slipped to the foot of the League 2 table, and 6 points from safety, before Boothroyd guided them to a 20th place finish in the 2011-12 Season.

that record is pretty good do you not think

I seem to recall that he inherited a young but underperforming team when he took over at Watford. A good number of the players that were already there were due to blossom and in my opinion, he got lucky with the squad he inherited. You don't mention his relegation from the premiership or the reason why he eventually left Watford (constructive editing?), and I hardly think that bringing a team 6 points from safety in league 2 to 20th in just over 5 months a great achievement for the next Mourinho.
