Usually when some starts a thread they are making a point of some kind. Thanks for clarifying that your post is pointless.

How is it pointless it's not Russell Slade

Wherever it came from, they have managed to call the great John Harris, "John Nicholson".

You have forgotten John Harris's surname is very disrespectful. if you are under 45 will let you off.

As it stands slav as a better record than the great dave bassett but worse than Kevin Blackwell

They have also missed out Steve Thompson's tenure from 1998-99.
They have included some caretakers like Slade and Carver but missed Cec Coldwell and Danny Bergara's stints.

Other than that, it's a good bit of research...

Closely followed by Nigel Clough......so our two most successful Managers in terms of win percentages were during some of our darkest times...

The last person on that list (John Nicholson) died in 1932 and so could not have been our manager in 1970! I think the author is getting his John's confused. It should be John Harris.

It's quite interesting to look at manager win percentages etc, but it's often not really possible to make meaningful comparisons.

As an example, the majority of the Harris seasons were spent in the first division - nine and a half seasons in all, and none of the other seasons were below second division level. Whereas Wilson's (almost) two seasons were both in the third division. You would therefore expect Wilson to have a higher win ratio than Harris.

It doesn't always follow that way though! Most of Haslam's time was spent in the third division and yet his win rate was eight and a half percent below that of Harris. I think that speaks volumes for how bad the situation had become here during those Haslam years.

He probably had the best squad during our League One seasons.

Is there a win percentage comparison of every manager for the same amount of games?

Probably.

All dependent on the level of opposition and the standard of your squad at the time. Paul Heckingbottom did well to get 3 wins out of last season's rabble to be fair to him.

According to those stats, Danny Wilson is the best manager we've had in the last 50 years yet all we'll remember from his tenure is people campaigning not to give him the job, Ched Evans' debacle and Simmo's penalty.

John Harris or Danny Wilson, take your pick.

Don't think he can really be blamed for Simmo's penalty. He was the last one in the team to take one!

It's like blaming Warnock for Jagielka's handball.

Nightmares about the Micky Adams half-season

 

[davidblade]

What ever people on here the best manager undoubtedly has been Wilder his win ratio was excellent despite one and half seasons in the premiership. I’m not saying that it wasn’t time for a change though every manager has their sell by date .

Was John Harris really in charge for what 1,300 + games?? !!

We did have a John Nicholson,surely can't be right 30 years without a proper manager
