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.

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..

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.

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.

Yes it was rather ridiculous to appoint a football icon with 3 promotions at a higher level including the Premier league who would invest in the club and raise our profile.
If only we had appointed one of the other top managers that were queuing up to take us on, especially those with win ratios in the upper 80's.

One of many things I like about Ollie is he does not confuse the player with endless tactics that the opposition might play.
When asked he said Bradford will do what they do I am not interested it's not my job , my job is to get my players to do what I want them to do.
A breathe of fresh air after the Jolley tactics I am sure the players are so much happier now.

Those are decent stats. 1.36 points per game would be a solid top half finish, and he's averaging that over his whole career despite taking on some (at the time) basket case clubs, and also having time in the Premier League with struggling teams Blackpool and Palace.
Sheff Utd have won 9 of their 25 games this season and are 5th in the Premier. That's a 36% win ratio. Ollie's overall record is 36.1%.

A very large club with a top-flight pedigree would give hen's teeth for 2 promotions into the Premiership.
They have not managed one promotion in the last 17 years to the Prem!
You can prove anything with stats. Why not also include budgets v other clubs and which division he was managaing in?

Taking Blackpool to the premier league was remarkable. A season in the premier league with Blackpool will distort his overall loss count.
When was the last time we had a manager that has managed in the top flight before ending up here?

Look beyond the numbers. Jim Bentley had a 28% win rate at Morecambe but many consider his achievements there to be excellent.
Sheffield United mentioned above but in our league, 6th place Colchester have won 38.7% of their games this season.

You can prove anything with statistics.
Hurst had a 49.5% win record at Grimsby but it took him 6 years to achieve what he was appointed to do.
It ain't just how many you win it's who you beat and when you beat 'em.

If you're going to post blind statistics like that you need to put additional data for a comparison. Get back Wiki again and check some other managers records to compare.
I've done one for you. Gareth Southgate at Middlesborough win rate of 29.8%. Can't remember what he's doing now 😉

And in what division Ron, and what finances you have available compared to your rivals etc etc.
So stats can be very misleading. You could manage a perennial struggler just surviving in the Premiership and have a pretty garbage win record but be a massive success relatively.

Exactly my point Rik. 49.5% mostly in the National League with a bloody good budget and crowds is the least you'd expect and 6 years to get up is a lot longer than you'd expect. But that win % looks good on a CV. Is Daniel Farke a bad manager? His % has nosedived this season. Are Norwich fans calling for his head?

He’s had a very solid career. What do you expect him to have done?
If I look at Sir Alan’s stats on Wikipedia they are very similar, and he’s not been great away from here. But you’re not going to excrement on his career, are you? Course not. He’s a legend regardless. Managers that are around years and at unfashionable clubs will always have ups and downs.

Absolute nonsense. I am incredibly pleased, delighted and amazed we have Ian Holloway as our manager. It is a hell of a coup for the club and the town. I don't doubt his commitment and I can't wait to see him progress our club. I love his interviews, his positivity and his ideas on how the game should be played, the attacking football, especially after the last couple of clowns who almost bored me to death.

Well I’m sure you’ve had your fun tonight with your little carrot. Hopefully, you’ve done your homework and Mummy didn’t find the stains on your sheets. In the interim, and in the absence of applications from Klopp and Guardiola, we’ll make do with Ollie.
