Yes and no for me. Early ones had no European matches and all, or the vast majority of the players, were local. Ally has the best %age by a mile but majority was lower divisions and his record for the single top league season and his championship one in isolation would be one of the worst, not the best. Some of the middle ones had fledgling knockout European games, the league and 3 cups, later ones had group stage European games, 2 cups and more league games per season. I know we have a European trophy and numerous cups but these kind of stats are only really comparable if you focus solely on top flight league matches imo. That is ultimately what managers are judged on overall and the rankings would look considerably different if that was the barometer. Be more realistic to split them by competition.Very interesting!
Win rates aren’t that informative. Points per game tells more.
Would agree that the stats are somewhat skewed by the various factors that you cite. Using League figures only would undoubtedly give a fairer overview, however, even that method gives a slightly misleading picture as it takes no account of the competitiveness of the League at the time.Yes and no for me.

It’s including the six CL doings which puts Gio’s down considerably and in general a sizeable portion of his matches were European games due to the deep run and CL qualifiers. His domestic win percentage and more importantly points per game rivals that of anyone on that list if not better than the majority, which I’ve posted about previously.Given the inaccurate reporting in the DR, im surprised we would swallow these figures unchecked
I have a large collection of butt-plugsAlly our best manager ever then..
