Managerial Records................................. ..G...W.....L....D....Win..%... Mark Robins.......Rotherham/Barnsley........220 84 81 55 38.18 Derek McInnes..St Johnstone....................130 53 41 38 40.77 Keith Millen........Bristol City.........................57 18 12 27 31.58 Millen is head and shoulders behind both of them,so either way we are on a winner. McInnes comes highly recommended.. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19...itterfeed_Football_twitter&utm_medium=twitter
The only thing I'd wonder about wize is context. Robins got his wins in very challenging circumstances. He knows the championship well; and City well enough to understand the situation without having any allegiance to current playing staff. He probably has more contacts in the English game and might have a few favours to call in from SAF. McInnes will have to go on a steep learning curve. Just a constructive observation from the sidelines!
I agree with Pirate. I'm not saying not to go for him but stats can be looked at in all sorts of ways. If I managed a downs team, my stats could look just as good.........but we are talikng championship level.....IMO different ball game compared to Scottish league.. You could say Motherwell manager Stuart McCall would be better!!!!
Let's ne honest - if we get either McInnes or Robins, then we have done well based on their previous records and will be giving ourselves every possibility of getting out of the mire. It will be interesting to see how the players respond as many who may have been "matey" with Millen may feel the need to pull their weight now under a new regime. I am optimistic that we will get this one right.
