This may have already been posted so if it has and you're not interested this time around, apologies. If you haven't seen it before, like I hadn't, it's interesting to see that our current 'interim' manager has a win ratio of 25% - the same that Peeters had when he was sacked. As our Belgian 'friends' like statistics so much, they may like to see these? Of course what's more worrying than his current crap win ratio is the fact that (and don't tell the Belgians this)....should he win at Burnley on Saturday, his ratio would go up to 33.3% !! That's when I think he could be named as full time manager - as we've heard time and time again.....the stats don't lie. With a win ratio of nearly 50%, couldn't we bring Mike Bailey back? Bobby Robson was still managing in his 70's!

aaaahhhhhhhhh!
Riga's ratio is pretty good, being all Championship (Powell had the incredible L1 season). Those stats also show that under Peeters we drew an awful lot of games, whereas with Luzon we won more and lost more...
Luzon after 0 in 9.
Fraeye has won 2 in 9.
Pressure on.
As I think neither will happen I just want us to have the best chance of survival.
a) I have no idea what criteria is being used to appoint managers, so I have no faith that winning/losing games would be the metric used to decide their fate. For instance what if Fraeye's brief is to bring young players through to sell on ? Last night a youngster who wasn't getting game time before Fraeye scored a couple of goals in less than half an hour and is probably a saleable asset now. Doesn't matter that we then conceded two to a dreadful, side Fraeye's had a successful night by the remit of his job.
b) Each sacking seems to have brought a gradually more ludicrous replacement - Bob - Riga - Luzon - Fraeye. On paper they're getting less and less qualified and more and more ridiculous. If losing those two games meant Fraeye got sacked do you really think Roland would be giving Gary Monk or Bendan Rodgers a call ?
I'm just saying if by some miracle it was guaranteed he would appoint a Pearson/Monk/Powell then I would accept those losses.
As it is there is more chance of Guy Luzon becoming manager so I could never be in a position to want us to lose.
