How do you compare a managers win percentage at a club with other managers at the same club even though they have all managed at different levels. (Which is what the original post did). E.g. Manger 1 manged villa in division 4 and had win percentage of 95% and won the league. Manager 2 manager us in Premier League and had win percentage of 45% and came second. Does this mean Manager 1 is our most successful manager of all time? As for the bold part, I tried to keep my posts respectful. It's a shame you couldn't offer the same courtesy. I guess that's Villatalk for you. I don't care enough to argue it further. I'll refer you to @NurembergVillan's post. There was nothing disrespectful in my post. In fact by assuming you're able to make a leap of imagination without having everything spelled out for you I'm showing you respect, no? That you've taken it in a way that wasn't intended is entirely up to you. Edited November 25, 2017 by dont_do_it_doug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re being too sensitive. I thought the old saying you used to support the rest of your point was funny. I suspected it was intended to be. No “scrutiny” was intended, other than enjoying a laugh at the incredibly dry humor of being thankful for something because it’s better than a bloody, painful face. Sorry it’s odd that I enjoyed your humor? oh, and I thought my comment made less sense with the whole quote, so I would make it clear the funny part was my focus.

Tommo_b Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Bruce haters are going to hate no matter what . Results wise over the last couple of months it’s been fantastic. I think we are starting to see why Bruce has 4 promotions under his belt, it’s not spectacular but it gets the job done like all of Bruce’s previous appointments. Thw guy knows what he is doing even if it isn’t pretty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Fairy In Boots Posted November 26, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted November 26, 2017 I still think in the hands of a better manager we’d be in Wolves position. I’ll take what’s coming and long may it continue but I would still sack him day 1 of the close season promotion or no, next week if the right man is available. Mike Bassett would be competitive with this squad in this league there’s some shite sides, against organised opposition he falters. It’s not hate it’s an observation based on repetitive experience throughout his tenure. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next three will be the real test. Having watched Leeds easily beat Barnsley tonight, I'm quite worried, as they have the players to seriously hurt us. Bruce will have to come up with something different come Friday. Don't think they'll fear us, and an overcautious approach will almost certainly backfire. We need to make life difficult for them, by not allowing them too much possession. Thats ok we dont fear them either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adomah delivered last season in assists (for kodjia) this season its goals before anyone forgets, during the shit start he sat in the stands and only came into the team because injuries forced Bruces hand. Same with Davis. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
