Leeds United Manager Statistics.

Post by Deleted User 2747 »

Manager Statistics:

Looking at the percentage of points gained from those possible we can calculate the success rate of each manager (data provided by Wikipedia) since Don Revie

Name Success Rate %
Don Revie 62.12
David O’Leary 57.76
Simon Grayson 57.59
Gary McAllister 55.33
Jimmy Armfield 53.2
Howard Wilkinson 52.8
Jock Stein 50
Dennis Wise 50
Kevin Blackwell 48.99
George Graham 48.42
Billy Bremner 47.78
Eddie Gray 45.72
Jimmy Adamson 45.58
Neil Warnock 44.44
Terry Venables 43.65
Brian McDermott 43.64
Allan Clarke 40.87
Peter Reid 33.33
Dave Hockaday 33.33
Brian Clough 28.57
Darko Milanič 16.67

Just goes to show what a crime it was to sack firstly Simon Grayson and then Gary McAllister.

Assume this is 'permanent managers' Frankie, otherwise we might need to include Redfearn's 10 from 12 points earlier this season, and also Nigel Gibbs 100% record when McDermott was 'missing' :D .

When looking at Don Revie's stats it should be remembered that when he took over as manager, Leeds were third from bottom of the old second division. So a fair chunk of the 38% 'un-success' rate was incurred in the early days when he was sorting things out.
I once played against Don Revie.

Slightly distorted figures because in Revie's day there were only 2 points for a win. So a draw in his time would have given a 50% achievement compared with a 33% today. He's still the best ever though!

A lot of factors involved in statistics, what sort of team did they inherit ? what league were we in ? how much money spent ?

However these lists do make interesting reading.

He was sacked because of the result v Histon - a game played in a monsoon and won by one goal against the run of play. Makes my blood boil - we were playing good football. Would love to see him back one day.

Good thread by the way - makes very interesting reading.

We should then remember to include his record in early 2012, which includes the memorable game at the Ricoh.
