According to the stats, a club needs a manager in position for nearly two years before they can win promotion from the Conference.
BlueSq betting guru Alan Alger posted some interesting stats to Twitter this week saying that, since the Conference went 2up-2down, the average promotion winning manager was in their job for 570 days before the season they won promotion - excluding Graham Turner's mammoth reign at Edgar Street that would push the total past 700 days.
Last season York's Gary Mills was in charge for only two-thirds of a season before winning promotion in his first full term, but Fleetwood's Micky Mellon had nearly three years under his belt before his title winning season.
