Stanley Ternent (born June 16, 1946 in Gateshead) is a former English footballer and, later, manager.
In his playing days, Ternent donned the colours of Burnley and Carlisle United. Upon retiring, he became a coach at Sunderland, firstly, then Blackpool, assisting Bob Stokoe. Ternent himself became manager of the Tangerines in 1979, his first such role, and Blackpool's sixth manager in a decade.
Immediately upon his appointment at Bloomfield Road, Ternent began to reshape the team, spending large sums on new players. Jack Ashurst was purchased from Sunderland for a then-club-record £116,000. Fellow newcomers included Dave Bamber, Colin Morris, Peter Noble and Tom McAllister. Despite the fresh faces, the Seasiders' fortunes didn't improve, and by early 1980 they were in the bottom half of the Third Division. He was sacked on February 1.
His next turn at manager came nine years later, at Hull City from 1989 to 1991. He lost 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 third-placed team in Division Three. A year later they won the Division Two championship and survived the first season in Division One; however, Ternent left Gigg Lane at the end of the 1997-98 season to take charge of Burnley in Division Two.
In Ternent's second season as Clarets manager, 1999-2000, the club 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 campaign 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; however, his short-term contract as manager was not renewed, as despite a heroic attempt at survival they were relegated to the First Division.
In January 2007, Ternent faced assault charges after being accused of headbutting a man in August 2006.[1]
