Stan Ternent

Stan Ternent (born June 16 1946) is a former English footballer and later football manager. He was manager of Hull City from 1989 to 1991, losing his job in January 1991 a few months before the club suffered relegation from the Second Division. From 1991 to 1993 he was assistant manager to Ian Porterfield and then David Webb at Chelsea before again being made redundant.

Ternent was not out of the game for long. He moved from the Premiership to Division Three in a matter of weeks, becoming Mike Walsh's right-hand man at Bury. When Walsh quit in October 1995, Ternent moved up to the manager's seat and seven months later he took them to Division Two as runners-up in Division Three. A year later they won the Division Two championship and survived two seasons in Division One. But Ternent left Gigg Lane after the end of the 1997-98 season to take charge of Burnley in Division Two.

In Ternent's second season as Burnley F.C. manager, 1999-2000, the Clarets finished second in Division Two and won automatic promotion. He remained in charge for another four seasons but the club's board did not renew his contract after the 2003-04 and he left the club after six years having failed to get them into the Premiership.

Ternent made a brief comeback in 2004-05 with Gillingham taking Ronnie Jepson from Burnley to be his assistant, but his short-term contract as manager was not renewed, as despite a heroic attempt at survival they were relegated to the English League One.
