I think Keegan's second stint was closer to a year.
I want to say Naill Quinn at Sunderland but I think they were a Championship club at that time.

He was, and he's on the list with the 2nd shortest reign, at 6 games.Originally Posted by wullie
Good selection of guesses and you're right with Hutchings and Dowie - they both appear on the list twice.
Just 19 league games for Keegan's second spell.

Frank de Boer – Crystal Palace, 2017 – 4 games
Les Reed – Charlton Athletic, 2006 – 6 games

11 more to get, plus a repeat offender who hasn't had his 2nd spell guessed yet.
As a footnote, Allardyce isn't correct.
However, he has had spells of 21 games (Newcastle), 21 games (Crystal Palace), 24 games (Everton), 25 games (West Brom) and 30 games (Sunderland).
John Carver? Or was he just a caretaker?
Carver was permanent and correct; just 19 games in charge.
Warnock at Palace
Big Ron at Forest (where I think we beat them 8-1 in his first game)
Ron was also at Wednesday for a fairly short period, so maybe them?
Tactics Tim at Spurs
Christian Gross at Spurs
Mike wotsit at Everton? You know, the Norwich guy.
Top entry this.
Walker.
Not to be confused with the Jack variety who bankrolled Blackburn.
Do any of the Chelsea 'interim' folk make the list Hiddink, Benitez, probably others [Lampard currently]?
Paulo Sousa somewhere or other [Swansea/Watford]?
Did Jocanovic ever even manage Watford in the Premier League?
Robbie Di Matteo probably got above 20 but might have been tight. Didn't pass 20 if you separate his interim stint from his permanent stint.
Paolo Di Canio.
Sunderland must have at least a couple more entries you'd think. Not that I can name any.
Time to come flying in with a foul mouthed TIRADE. Joe Kinnear.
Ranieri (Watford).
On the Sunderland theme, I think Dick Advocaat JUST qualifies.
Christian Gross was a short run. Wikipedia says 30 games so that's a nope.
Atkinson just missed out with Sheffield Wednesday.
Walker managed just over 30 games.
Benitez DOES make the list, but not for his Chelsea stint. Jokanovic was let go before the start of the Prem season after he earned them promotion.
You're only missing 5 now. I'll drop some clues shortly if there is no progress.
Final 5:
Bolton Wanderers, 2007 - 11 games
Stoke City, 2018 - 15 games
West Bromwich Albion, 2014 - 19 games
Aston Villa, 2015-16 - 20 games
Hull City, 2016-17 - 20 games
Sammy Lee
Mark Hughes
Rene Muelenstein (that's a real name, right?)
Steve Bruce
Steve Bruce
Meulensteen is on the list but for his short-lived spell at Fulham.
Stoke - Paul Lambert
Aston Villa - Remi Garde or Tim Sherwood
Hull - Leonid Slutsky (he could have been Championship but I don't have a better answer)
Last edited by Ben; 16-05-2023 at 06:36 AM.
Alan Irvine for West Brom?
Slutsky was indeed in the Championship, so we just have the Hull City manager remaining.
Is the Hull one Mike Phelan by any chance?
It is indeed! Good job everyone, full list below.

Just mentioned on the US feed so figured it fit here. I knew one but couldnt figure out the other in the minute or so before the reveal.
If Sterling scores for Chelsea today against City he will become the third player to score for both teams in this fixture. Who are the two to have already done it?
Anelka
Daniel Sturridge
I'm a twit
Anelka yes
Sturridge no
Anelka was the one I didnt get.
Wayne Bridge
Manager of the Year, Super Frankie Lampard?
Shaun Wright Phillips
I'm a twit
Bingo. City legend

Normally these are pretty straightforward but today's is a tricky one. Well done to anyone who manages all seven.
I got three. The Burnley one is unrecognisable without hair.
I got 3 as well - the Bolton, Sunderland and Swansea players.
I'd really expect myself to get the Burnley player, but as Jimmy says, he looks completely different here.
3 but I got the Spurs player instead of Swansea.
Declan Rice is poised to become the most expensive English player ever. In terms of transfer fee at the time, can you name the current 50 most expensive English players?
Jack Grealish
Harry Maguire
John Stones
Ben White
Wayne Rooney
Harry "Slabhead" Maguire.
What a waste of money.
Edit: Fuck you Sincere.
Kyle Walker
Andy Carrol
Is this between UK clubs only?
If player was English when he transfered, but played for a different nation after the transfer, Does that count?
Jude Bellingham, Mason Mount (lol), Raheem Sterling and AWB.
Sancho
Maddison
Tammy
Noni
Lescott
Walcott
Rio
Alan Sherear before Brexit
Kieran Trippier
Ramsdale
Pickford
Woodgate
Alan Smith
The Ox
Ben Chilwell
Heskey / Crouch / Solanke
gibbs white
brewster
Between any clubs, UK or otherwise. I don't think any changed nation players qualify for the list. Only one I can think of is Zaha and his transfer fee would not be enough.
Good start, Sincere smashing it. Mount slots in as 5th most expensive (currently).
Owen
Hargreeves
Drinkwater
Townsend
Carrick
