Any article ranking Derby's best ever managers and with McClaren as the very best isn't worth reading. Rooney 10th, Rowett 6th, and Lampard 5th, Clement 4th, and Wassall 3rd!!!! Mac 1 Clough Wassall Clement Lampard Rowett Mac 2 Mackay Dwarf Rooney Jim Smith, Cox, Burley, Jobey, Methan, McMillan, Storer, Magner and Potter would figure above a number of those. I'd even have Nigel Clough above some based on the circumstances he had to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears some are in the wrong order anyway according to Wiki. Magner Mac 1 Wassall Clough Clement Potter Mackay Rowett Mac 2 Lampard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CornwallRam Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I suspect it would be more meaningful if they weighted it for division. Eg, top tier points worth 1.5, 2nd tier worth 1 and 3rd tier worth .5. Clough and Mackay have to be 1 & 2, with Smith and Cox in the top 5.

Millenniumram Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 And that right there is why stats never really tell the full story. The measure of a good manager is always their success relative to expectations. While PPG gives a good indication as to which managers won more matches - which is of course the whole point of the game - it doesn’t take into account division or the quality of squad at their disposal. Both need to be considered when assessing a managers performance. PPG probably indicates how enjoyable their tenure was, but it doesn’t mean they’re among our greatest ever managers.

Brammie Steve Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Rubbish! Considering we've had the World's Best Manager and legends like Mackay, Cox, Smith etc. Might as well be... 1) Docherty 2) Pearson 3) Addison etc etc Best Chairman Robert Maxwell Best signing 1) Derek Hales 2) Ravanelli Most exciting season ever 2007-08 lies, damn lies and football polls!
