Ollie's Managerial record.......the reality

Nobody can deny the feel good factor that Ollie has brought to the club, and to the town as a whole, and long may it continue.

Everyone was amazed, nay, gobsmacked when he was appointed as our leader. Everyone said how good it was that he has so much experience, and part and parcel of that comes names...contacts et al. All well and good I hear you say, but has anyone actually seen his managerial record? I had a look today and was astonished at just how mediocre he has been in his career. Admittedly he has never managed a team at such a low division before so hopefully his higher league experience may come into play, but he can only work with what he's given...players....budget etc.

His managerial career actually looks pretty crap, considering all the hullabaloo that goes with Ollie.

Now I know there will be LOTS of red crosses for this one, as is the norm for most people on here who mention ANYTHING negative, but take your rose coloured specs off for a moment and just take in what it shows above.

Is he the Messiah? Or is he a very naughty boy?

Never been at a club with a large budget for the division. I'd say it's a fairly solid overall career with three promotions and managing one or two clubs in turmoil off the pitch..

Or, if you look deeper, has he taken clubs to higher levels than their normal ceiling?

You forgot to say twice promoted to the premier and once to the championship.  Not bad going in my eyes.

AND

I don't red cross anybody it stops dicussion.

Quoted from Bigdog

I'd say it's a fairly solid overall career with three promotions .......

.....and several relegations too

I also notice that his winning and losing percentages are almost identical. So you could just as easily say that he has taken points from 2 out of every 3 games he has managed throughout his career. If he keeps that up with Town, and adds a few more wins instead of draws, I think most of us would take that.

FFS  There is always one     Hes at Town now , the past is the past.

Reading that says one thing to me...if you add the win/ drawn games together they equate to higher than the losses...so, extrapolating that into reality means we'll see more games won/drawn than lost... I'll take that...

Well done! You've copy and pasted some numbers from Wikipedia and offered virtually no context whatsoever. Yet this means his career is mediocre?? Anyone that scratches even the tiniest bit below the surface will see that Ollie's career has been anything but mediocre.

Jeez if you class IHs career as mediocre what does that mean for the crate full of managers we've  had managing us over the last 15 years.....
