I agree with your point but in Adam's case he has had 12 months - not saying that's enough, but its not like he only had 4 or 5 months like some.  They were relegated under him (not saying all his fault obviously) but I think they would have expected to be higher than 18th place in the division below at Christmas. 

That’s true but they knew it was his first managerial position and a tough task so he’s obviously going to be learning on the job. I accept they’re probably lower than expected but it was a risk they took and I think they might at least have given him this window to turn it around?

I was surprised by Nolan's win ratios in the 2 jobs he's been sacked from;

46.7% at Orient and 41.7% at Notts County.

Puts our fella's 50% into a bit of perspective.

Presume success or otherwise is relative to expectation.  When he joined Notts County they'd lost 10 matches on the trot and were a point off the relegation places.

I always find it odd when "win" ratios are quoted.  Do draws count for nothing?  If we'd drawn a few of those losses last season we'd still have a 50% win ratio but we'd also have got promoted.

Or if we'd just drawn at Wembley we'd have had a penalty shoot out to go up.

Without doubt draws count. It's a meaningless stat managers like to hold on to. You could win 50% of your games in any season and be short of the play offs unless you throw in a good number of draws.

Successful sides either win or make sure they don't lose

Pete Wild, ex Barrow, replacing Adam at Fleetwood.

Regardless what fleetwood think. He’s still welcome on our forum.
