Since the start of last season, Nottingham Forest have had five different managers.
A year ago, Sean Dyche was less than a fortnight into his spell as Forest's head coach.
Before Dyche, there was Nuno Espirito Santo and Ange Postecoglou. After Dyche came Vitor Pereira and, currently, Oliver Glasner.
But following just one win from the Reds' opening nine league matches, the former Crystal Palace boss has warned that unless players heed his instructions, and results change imminently, five will become six.
Speaking after Forest's 2-0 loss at Brentford on Saturday, Glasner said he felt he had made too many compromises during his tenure so far.
"It's now time not to make compromises, it's now time to show a clear way and everybody has to follow," he told the BBC's Match of the Day.
"And if they don't want to follow, then I guess then the sixth manager will come in."
'We have to change'
Saturday's defeat by a Bees side who had not won any of their previous four matches means Forest are 19th in the league and head into next weekend's meeting with leaders Manchester City just a point off the bottom.
In Forest's last five league games, only a 1-1 draw at Ipswich has not ended in defeat.
"Today is completely clear, we have to change something, a few things," Glasner said.
"I have to change a few things, and I will change a few things, 100%. We can't continue in the same way, we have to change a few things, and that's the key."
He added: "We are making too many mistakes, the defence, then we are down. We controlled the game...
"It's so obvious... We are slow, making the same mistakes, always different players."
Neither side registered a shot on target until Igor Thiago notched Brentford's second goal in the 76th minute, after their first goal came from a Nikola Milenkovic own goal.
Forest's sole shot on target came two minutes after the hosts went two up.
"We are making too many mistakes in our defence and we are not ruthless enough, good enough, in finishing. That's the truth," Glasner added.
Deja vu all over again
Forest were onto their third manager of the campaign this time last year, but their start this season compared with last has been similar.
Glasner has only recorded one win in Forest's first nine league games this term - the same as 12 months ago, when the joint-efforts of Santo, Postecoglou and Dyche also registered a sole win.
Glasner does at least have six points compared with last season's five at the same stage. But despite the City Ground manager merry-go-round, they were 18th last term at this stage.
The summer appointment of Glasner following his exit from Selhurst Park was perhaps a surprising one. The Austrian left Palace as the club's most successful manager after winning the FA Cup, Community Shield and Conference League in the space of 12 months.
It did however show ambition from the East Midlands side, and by their own recent standards, loyalty has so far remained.
Bad performances or bad luck?
Depending on what metrics you look at, there is a genuine debate over whether Forest have not been good enough, or whether they have been on the wrong end of some close games.
Against Brentford, their expected goals (xG) tally of 0.85 was almost double that of the hosts' (0.46).
It has been a familiar tale throughout this season. Correct as of full-time at Brentford, Forest have the fourth-highest xG in the Premier League this season (14.33) - but with six goals, they are the division's lowest scorers.
It is not for the want of trying. Forest are second only to Manchester United for most shots per Premier League game of any side.
They have not been helped by the output, or lack of, from summer signing Liam Delap.
Following his £50m arrival from Chelsea, the striker has scored just once from his eight Premier League outings, seven of which were from the start.
Delap ranks eighth for the most shots in the league, with 24 attempts. But with a sole goal to his name, 48 players have more league goals than him this term.
Glasner safe for the moment
Glasner is thought to be safe for the moment, and with the head coach just under four months into a three-year contract, parting company with him would be expensive.
BBC Sport has been told by multiple sources that Glasner's salary at the City Ground is in the region of £10m a year.
So while a change of head coach seems unlikely, for now at least, Glasner has promised a change of tack in his approach to managing Forest.
"We start with hugging," Glasner told BBC Radio 5 Live. "If hugging doesn't work, we try the opposite."
He later told Match of the Day: "The only way is to change it or these things will happen again. That's what we will do."
