Rafa's win ratio compared to past LFC managers

[MascheredUp]

Saw this on his Wiki page, so thought I'd compare him to former LFC managers:

Rafa:

Doesn't look to shabby compared to the greats above (think it's only league games for all the above).

Rafa's the only manager above that's actually lost more league games than he's drawn.

Looked for Houllier's, but didn't have it on Wiki.

I did something like this the other day, but looking at how many league points per game each manager has won since Dalglish.

I was surprised to find Thommo came out on top! He had 24 games in charge when Ged was sick, and got 49 points, or 2.04 on average. Dalglish was about 2.07, Souness was 1.5, Houllier 1.7 and Rafa 1.8
Unlce Roy was 1.7, fractionally ahead of Ged. (I excluded the period when they were in joint command (av. 1.3pts)

Yeah Thommo did a great job that was the season we finished 2nd wasn't it?

I always remember mates of mine giving Roy Evans stick and saying Houllier's record wwas much better, they were shocked when they found out how close league records were.

Any idea what the records of other premiership managers are, Ferguson, Wenger Mourinho etc?

That was the season we finished second, yes. Always stuck in my craw that Ged got so much credit for it. I remember our form went right downhill when Ged came back!

Sorry, got no ideas about their records, but I did work out how many points per game it takes to win the title - it's definitely getting harder.

Yeah I never thought Phil Thompson got the credit he deserved for that either
