Always with the meaningless stats. How many of those seasons have those three managers that you've cited been in the same division? I'm guessing not many.
Also the percentages don't mean a lot unless there's some context to who they were managing - to put that simply, a boss of Burnley with a win percentage of 35% is more impressive than a boss of Man City with a win percentage of 45%.
It gives no indication of the style of football, nor if they're capable of motivating a struggling bunch of players.

So to say those three are better than Cox because they had a handful more wins is just nonsense.

If you're using stats to decide who you want as boss, then you're naive at best.

Yeah can see your argument, but surely they can give some sort of guidance.

So dont agree that they are meaningless.

Mills has taken a club York City back to football league, a target we want to achieve, so has experience, one of the favourites in the poll is Gary Holt who has no record at all.

I wasnt saying they were better than Cox, only stats were comparable.

Who would your choice be and why?

Who is Gary Holt? What's his background like? Worth a punt?

Won't be pretty football but will knock a few heads together, won't take any crap from players, has a track record of finding rough diamonds and getting promoted out of the division and used to working with a 'challenging' chairman.

Certainly a pain in the backside and annoying when you are up against him but he certainly fights the corner of his team and turning us into a nasty team that nobody likes but yet gets results will do for me.
As they say it's a results game. MM was a nice guy but results were awful. Rather have it the other way round with Westley
