Wilder's managed 20 games for us so far, Venables was only here for 25 games, Monk was only here for 26.
I think it's fine to include him on your judgement of how he's been so far.
My list:
1. McClaren - Best period in the club's history because it led to our only major trophy, regardless of anything else.
2. Robson - Promotion, 3 finals, relegation and a few mid table finishes. Nearly relegated us again in the end.
I'm not really sure he did that good a job when you consider how heavily he was bankrolled and who he had at his disposal, but given how most of the rest did, he's got to be put up near the top
3. Karanka - 1 salvage season, 2 superb seasons, 1 dreadful one. Steered the club back on track, even if it was a sadly brief period.
4. Venebles - Came in with us in the bottom 3 of the Premier League, and helped keep us up fairly comfortably in the end.
5. Wilder - An exceptional start that I hope continues, playing enjoyable football and progressing on all fronts.
6. Southgate - Kept us mid table in the top flight for 2 seasons, 3 FA Cup quarter finals, sadly relegated us in an awful third season, sacked before you could fully judge the Championship season.
Didn't do a great job, but then excluding the cup runs he didn't do much different to Bryan Robson.
7. Mowbray - Briefly debated having him below Pulis but I think the fact he took over a harder salvage job and worked on a shoe string makes it harder to criticise the ultimate failure and inferior points finishes.
Never managed to consistently get to the heights expected of him, but laid the groundwork for the future with some key signings.
Really wish it had worked out for him.
8. Pulis - Took over midway through a season, got us in to the play-offs whilst utilising Traore correctly. Second season went south near the end, but two of the teams above us were cheating and we still only finished 1 point outside of the play-offs. Dull football, embarassing cup exits, but still managed better results than every other Championship manager we've had since relegation bar Karanka (and Wilder so far).
Wasted money on some duff signings and led to Bamford's unnecessary exit, but at least McNair has worked out in the end.
9. Warnock - Took over with us in trouble, kept us up comfortably in the end, I'll always be thankful for that.
Promised plenty in the next season and a quarter but didn't deliver consistently and it was the right time to let him go.
Signings were largely poor, bar Matt Crooks.
10. Agnew - Took over in tough circumstances, yet somehow had us playing worse. Should have given Dimi an appearance when relegation was conformed.
Wasn't here for long and we were struggling before him, so I'm not judging him as harshly.
11. Woodgate - Dealt a bad hand when it came to transfer funding but somehow had a squad that was comfortably good enough to be mid-table and above in a relegation battle in the Championship.
Awful manager for us, only this high in the rankings because of the circumstances of his appointment and the fact he was given an Inexperienced coaching staff alongside him.
12. Strachan - ***** signings, ***** football, ***** results, and an utter ****. Would be bottom if not for Monk's off the field antics.
13. Monk - Given more money to spend in one window than any manager in our history, spunked it away on dodgy deals and in positions we didn't need.
Sacked because he was a corrupt little b****d and couldn't be trusted.
Without Monk, we might have been in a far healthier place far sooner, even if it was still in the Championship.
No charisma, little clue on the pitch and he's the only manager we've had where I just didn't care what he had to say about anything.
