And from the Daily Mirror/Ann Gripper - Daily 3PM: Top Five football managers with bouncebackability
Football management seems to be one of those rare jobs where you can be sacked - sometimes a number of times - and it does not seem to harm your job prospects.
Steve McClaren and Sam Allardyce are occupying the pundit sofa while they wait for the managerial merry-go-round to start turning again.
And as Iain Dowie - who famously said his Crystal Palace team had "bouncebackability" - returns to management with QPR, here is a mirror.co.uk guide to the managers who, for better or worse, just don't seem to go away.
1. Iain Dowie Stepped up to Crystal Palace after cutting his teeth at cash-strapped Oldham, taking the Eagles to the Premier League and back. Palace chairman Simon Jordan agreed to release Dowie from his contract two years ago so he could move to a job closer to his family - and when Dowie took over at Charlton a week later the press conference was gate-crashed by a bailiff serving a writ from Jordan. By the time the case came to court Dowie had been sacked by the Addicks after spending millions on average players and dooming Charlton to an ultimately unsuccessful relegation battle. That did not prevent Coventry employing him in February last year - and sacking him a year later after the takeover did not share his views on how to take the club forward (although the fact they were nosediving towards a relegation dogfight would not have helped much).
