Interestingly, I'd say that other than Robins (statistically insignificant) and Wilson being unfairly weighted down by having a season of top flight football in there, of the modern managers the results table is a pretty fair indication of the managers ability and success...

RE: for what it's worth here it is with the Prem season left out If i arranged them in order of preference they wouldn't be that far away from that order. Wilson and Bassett the other way around but apart from that it's about right.
you need to click the item to download it-sorry but my IT skills are such that I need to rely on someone else's template and it won't display word or excel documents
Funnily enough Paul using your formula on his 2 full seasons at Rovrum he ends up in exactly the same place.</p> Early days, but we live in hope! </p>
