Managing until death[edit]

From my records John 'Jack' Robson managed Manchester United till 31st October 1921, upon which time he resigned as manager due to ill health. He did not manage United until his death just a few months later. He did however remain at United in the capacity of assistant to the newly appointed John Chapman until his death.(JD)

John Chapman was immediately given the job of manager then until a scandal in 1926 cost him his place. —Preceding unsigned comment added by jshd17 (talk • contribs)

I've moved your comment from the mainspace to the talk page. Is it possible to state what your source is so it can be included with credibility in the article proper? --Simmo676 21:31, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Chapman was installed as United Manager on November 1st 1921 and took charge of his first game (against Middlesbrough) on November 5th.Decorativeedison (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 11:42, 9 July 2009 (UTC).[reply]
