I remember when people on here used to bring up George Burley's win percentage in an utterly lame attempt to show how well he was doing in comparison to the likes of Strachan and Hoddle. Never quite understood how that statistic got wheeled out so often when the managers were literally working in different leagues.

 

Makes me so grateful to have Adkins on board. Who needs dodgy stats when the only stat that matters is the no.1 spot on the league table?

Hoddle/Strachan had Premier League quality players at their disposal, Burley didn't. A comparison of managers across leagues is, in my opinion, one of the few cross-league comparisons that has any validity; it's why tables such as this http://www.leaguemanagers.com/managers/mpl-league.html are not produced for players. Top league, top players. Poor league, poor players.

 

That said, I think Adkins is doing a better job than any other Saints manager in my lifetime!
