When you look back at their records, England managers have been much of a muchness. So maybe our expectations are too high.
Southgate’s win percentage was a tad under 60%. Very similar to the records of Hodgson, Erikson, Hoddle and Greenwood.
I was surprised that the well thought of Sir Bobby Robson and El Tel Venables who both got the team to semifinals scored below 50%. So it would seem that it’s not so much about winning as about performances.
The two managers with Scunny connections were pretty pants. Capello scored highly with 66.7% wins.
