Mowbray's statistically the best of that lot then, but iirc, his win ratio in the tinpot league was considerably less than...

 

The right man for the job...

Imagine that?

 

I think we should get ready for a blindside, left-field appointment a la Begscum, John Sheridan anyone?

 

Don't forget Mowbray's SPL ratio also includes two years at Hibs

From that Clarke thread: (but at least he uses a 'same old line up'  :thumbsup: )

 

'As someone who backed Clarke i was saddened to see him go but not surprised given our form over this season , it's clear the players weren't performing and that just wasn't going to get any better.

I didn't go to Cardiff but did watch the 90 Min's at home on my TV , i sat alone and tried to put myself in a positive frame of mind Pre match and i did think to myself " lets see some fresh faces as we have a big enough squad now"..sadly as the same old lineup appeared in front of me my heart sunk and i could guess what was to follow.
As we know we sit far too deep , hoofing it (and not just to Long) plus the shocking amount of times we give the ball away..oh and the standard "attack when it's usually too late" as I've read a lot this week'

The more I read about the candidates the more I wish we had the money to go for Holloway.

Aye, it was shameful the way he got them promoted.

Promoted despite all his efforts.

maybe he was up against it after DFs team had already had their good run for the season before he left us

 

either way

 

Holloway got them promoted, too add to his list of championship promotions

Holloway would be an absolute joke. And not in a good way.

 

I could live with Lennon, McKay, Clarke or Hughton. In fact assuming at least one of those will take the job then lets just get on with it. I doubt all four when it comes down to it will genuinely be interested but only 1 needs to be.

I've put a grand on wise at 66/1

 

 

Good luck getting paid out on that, when the bookie finds out how you're "Bessie mates with Gartside"

Holloway has a better record than any of them in the Championship. Three play-off finals and two promotions.

And Clarke has a better record than any of them in the premiership. I don't think records come into it. Coyle had an excellent record before coming here but it counted for nothing.

 

The longer a manager has been around and the more clubs he's done well at the more records become pertinent. But where we are it is about the right person to dig us out of a hole. Looking at how shambolic Palace were and how much of a transformation Pulis enacted there I don't think Holloway would be the man.

 

Anyhow I think this sums it up for me. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1823597-ian-holloway-possibly-the-most-overrated-manager-in-history
