Managers have been able to achieve huge successes in short time while others take a while to do so. However, not all club owners are willing to wait long. Yesterday, veteran manager, Claudio Ranieri joined the list of sacked premier league managers when he saw his managerial reign at Fulham cut short after just 17 games in charge.
