Because not everyone takes over a club mid-season after previous coach was fired?

I suspect far more do than dont.
And MANY do a very fine job from that starting point.
"rarely works out" is, IMO, completely false.

Given that managers are usually sacked after a run of bad results, the chance of a new manager succeeding is actually quite high. In many cases, this run of bad results could be caused by bad luck or just having a lot of difficult fixtures piling up at one time. So, given that results could quite easily turn regardless of who's in charge, taking over mid season is more likely than not a smart move. The problem is, of course, that in December next season when you have lost a few games on the trot (even if some of these games were against Emirates Marketing Project, Chelsea, Spurs and Liverpool), your idiot boss would sack you, since that is his modus operandi when things look bleak, even if they really are not.

Remember Redknapp and how many points from 8 games? Now Im not Redknapps biggest fan but its undeniable his appointment was a great success.

Former Manchester United defender and Valencia manager Gary Neville says he has no desire to return to coaching.
Neville, 44, spent four months in charge of Valencia from 2015 into 2016 and was part of the England coaching set-up from 2012 to 2016.
He now co-owns League Two side Salford City, works as a pundit, and runs hospitality and property businesses.
"There is not one single part of me that wakes up and thinks 'I want to be on the training field'," Neville said.
Neville was sacked by Valencia after winning 10 of 28 matches in charge.
His brother Phil is manager of the England women's team, while sister Tracey recently stepped down as head coach of the England netball team.
"I had my foray into management in Valencia and it was probably one of the best learning curves I have ever had," Neville told BBC Radio 4's Today programme. "It was a clip around the ear, sometimes you need one in life.
"I'm more interested in the board room or in the business side of things. The football side I love. I love watching matches but I just don't want to be on the training pitch, I feel like I've done that part of my life and want to move on."
Neville was among the group of players dubbed the 'Class of 92' to break into Manchester United's first team under the club's former manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
Part of me respects him for knowing his limits and not just trying to bluff through it, part of me thinks he might want to wind his neck in on Sky now though as he just admitted he isnt up to it...

I actually liked a lot of his analysis when he started on Sky.
Truthfully though I think its been a few years since he was worth listening too.
A bit like Alan Hansen, I get frustrated with him because he can genuinely add value but doesnt - but at the same time if the they stick someone with Carraghaer/Lawro every week I can understand if they give up...
It seems to be a universal rule, physics, even the brightest pundits fade and regress to the mean level around them.
