Elm Park Kid The only objective way of judging a manager is their success over multiple teams/years.
Who of our previous managers since Coppell has the best record on that front? Probably Rodgers. Will say that McDermott gets a bit of a pass from this as he had his own personal issues. Adkins has some success but fizzled out. Clarke took the easy way out. Clement went back to assistant roles. Stam, Gomes, Pauno . . all nothing other than Reading.
There's a reasonable argument to say that Ince has the best actual record of any manager since Coppell other than Rodgers.
Isn't that a bit like celebrating being the tallest of the seven dwarfs?
