Managerial league table 2012-13: Who leads the way? Ever wondered how your favourite football club's boss would fare in a league table of managers? Has changing the man in charge made a difference to their fortunes this season? A study by BBC Sport has analysed the number of points returned per game from each full-time managerial spell since the start of the season. And while the top man, Manchester United's Sir Alex Ferguson, may come as little surprise, there are some intriguing results elsewhere. The successful reunion between Eddie Howe and Bournemouth accounts for second spot on the table. Malky Mackay, who has guided Cardiff to the top of the Championship, is next in the manager's list ahead of Manchester City's Roberto Mancini. At the opposite end of the table, Mark Robson's spell at Barnet, where he collected just three points from 11 matches is the worst managerial spell this season and he is the only manager below Queens Park Rangers' former boss Mark Hughes. The table also allows supporters to compare how their teams' form has fluctuated, if at all, following a change in the dug-out. Has Chelsea's decision to get rid of Roberto Di Matteo in favour of Rafael Benitez strengthened the team's push for a top-four spot? Has Ian Holloway delivered better results in charge of Blackpool or Crystal Palace? And if Ferguson has the best, who has the worst record of the season so far? The answers are all below. You have to be careful who you wish for http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21372441 20 Gianfranco Zola Watford 30 52 1.73 22 Rafael Benitez Chelsea 13 22 1.69 23 David Moyes Everton 25 42 1.68 49 Gus Poyet Brighton & Hove Albion 29 42 1.45 74 Sam Allardyce West Ham United 25 30 1.20 76 Tony Pulis Stoke City 25 30 1.20 85 Martin Jol Fulham 25 28 1.12 92 Harry Redknapp Queens Park Rangers 12 13 1.08 94 Nigel Adkins Southampton 22 22 1.00 105 Roberto Martinez Wigan Athletic 25 21 0.84
Hey!! I have just noticed this: 10 Micky Adams Port Vale 30 59 1.96 Pulis 1.2 Adams 1.96. Makes you think
I have seent his before mate and it does make interesting reading. The problem is obviously that its difficult to compare different leagues and I think the table pretty much speaks for itself.
I agree Smithers. It was not intended to be taken seriously. It does make you wonder though if Micky Adams would improve our players with his different style.
pointless really it says Harry Renknapp is 20 places below Pulis, I nearly spat my tea all over the laptop ha ha
