Three managers I recall departing Hillsborough during Dave Allen's chairmanship and I cannot recall any of their assistants carrying on at the club after they left.

1 Terry Yorath. His assistant Willie Donachie left for Ipswich before Yorath himself departed. Yorath was given clearance to replace him but I am not sure who if any one replaced him. Certainly he did not retain the role under Chris Turner.

2. Chris Turner. Came in with assistant Colin West. When Turner was sacked I recall West went at the same time and later they went onto Stockport.

3. Paul Sturrock came in with assistant Kevin Summerfield. When Sturrock was sacked both left and Sturrock was replaced for about 5 games by the Academy Manager who did quite well but stepped back to his old role when Laws and assistant Russ Wilcox came in.
