Now that's percentage of games LOST and I'm thinking it is a clearer comparison, because they didn't all manage under three points for a win ...... There do look to be three real relegation candidates anyway who lose half their games. (If you lose half your games at our level then you have to win 14 and draw 9 to avoid the drop, so if, like Oldham, you've already drawn 9 you're looking at a lot of wins.)
Interesting that two of the least successful managers are ex-Chesterfield players who we loved!
To be fair you'd have to look at their inheritance and the division/s played in. Deano lost the best half of of Paul Cook's squad before he started and Danny inherited what he left behind (including some misguided contracts) and did not seem to have a lot of additional cash.
Arthur Cox spent relatively more than anybody ever in my estimation, SO I think, lacking the mathematical skill to create an algorithm to compare our little market above, I'd have to be well-impressed with McGuigan's ability to transform players who were largely regarded as sow's ears and discards into silk purses.
