The fact is only Milanic in our entire history had a worse record and he was only given 6 games, so doesn't really count.
There's a difference between excuses and mitigating circumstances.
The stat you roll out above is pointless too, as six games is too small for any credence.
By your reckoning, Sam Allardyce is the best England manager of all time because he has a 100% success rate.
It was only one game, but he won it
I've seen the page doing the rounds on social media with The Don at the top, Grayson second and Cloughie down the bottom with Hock and Heck. It's actually inaccurate anyway, if you take into account all competitions and caretakers as Redfearn tops that list with a 75% win ratio ... after four games.
Should we get Grayson back ??
I would say not given that a large chunk of his success was in getting us out of the third division.
Does that compare with Dolly in Europe or Sgt Wilko's league title ?
I've said before I'm not Heck's biggest fan but I will defend him when he's been up against it in so many ways since he took the job.
