Bruce Rioch was by no means the man with the shortest spell as Arsenal manager, but most of those who have managed for a shorter period of time have done so because they were temporary appointments: James McEwen (2 games), Pat Rice (4), Freddie Ljungberg (6)… Beyond doubt the most successful of the short term …

The drive behind Henry Norris’ take over of Arsenal in 1910 was first to pay off all the debts and second to make it a profitable club, and then third to make it a club that would challenge for trophies. The first aim was met in 1910, as all the debts were honoured (including some …
