re: Why do new managers always come in and want to change everything?

So they can get a pat on the head.

We have had 4 new ones in 10 years, they always have all these great ideas which cause more problems than good then eventually fail.

Then we go back to doing things the way we always did

I would posit that an organization who is still doing things the way they did 10 years ago is probably mired in mediocrity at best. The only reason not to try to improve is if you have attained perfection....unlikely in human experience.
