That managed for over 1 full season, not stand in caretaker boss ?.
Which Boro Manager has the highest win %
- Thread starter mercury_redstone7
- Start date
Not sure but it's a daft stat really because it doesn't take into account variable situations. Managers like McClaren probably has a lower win percentage than someone like Carrick because he was in a far more competitive league. Robson who got promoted, relegated, promoted probably has a lower win percentage than Carrick as well.
Carrick hasn't had a bad period that got him sacked yet like anyone that got sacked had so his should be higher. If looking at just their record in the Championship then it would probably be Robson. Karanka would be next and then it would be Carrick.
I'm only going back to the 90s but there's possibly better before then. Managers that stick around for a long time tend to lose more over time.

PPG is surely more important than win %.

I left out Monk (and Southgate) because of the "at least 1 full season" criteria.

I see what you are saying and it makes a lot of sense, mine doesn't.
Just the win %.
Im not asking about calibrating anything with situations, daily temperatures or if they played in the 3rd division - that's circumstances that is for another question.

It will be Robson surely, as he had two promotions. The two seasons he had in the second tier we won the league and finished 2nd two seasons later.

I wouldn't be surprised if AK had a higher %
Decent first year,playoff year, promotion year. Didn't see the relegation season all the way through.
Robbo might get close if you include the Venables matches.

His relegation season followed by a near miss wont have helped the stats.

Thought we were only talking about the second tier?

I admit that I'm surprised to see Monk so high, but I suppose that was against a backdrop of massive investment and expectation.
Also, when you're only in charge for 26 matches, I suppose a single match can make quite a difference to your percentage. I'm thinking about the league cup win over Scunny in particular.

I think XG is probably the most important thing. It's why the board experts on here are so sure we'll finish above Sunderland.

Monk only had 20 odd games?

I guess he won half of them then....... People asked about Monk so I typed it.

Agree. A manager with a 33% win percentage sounds like a failure, but in the PL, that's reasonable midtable form. You wouldn't be close to relegation with that, which is all some of the clubs can hope for.

No I think Nano is right, but I just wanted the boss with the highest %
