Comparing Hodgson's and Pulis' time at WBA sees their % a bit closer than their total career, but neither look that good with both under 40% win ratio, although Pulis' no loss % is better than Hodgson's was. Hodgson is now 68 years old though, and I wonder if that is too old for the PL these days most of the time.
RDM didn't have a clue though... His win ratio was good because he inherited a really good Championship side and you had to be a clown not to walk the league with those players. He made some ridiculous decisions along the way, such as persisting with a misfiring Luke Moore but still got away with it because some of the other players were that good. That's the thing about win %'s... it doesn't always tell the story. When you watched us every week under RDM it was clear to see he didn't have a clue. Although, his dull negative style did get Chelsea a champions league win... it's a funny game.
