HOODLUM65 Posted May 10, 2021 Report Share Posted May 10, 2021 Thought it would be interesting to look at Managerial achievements here, as there is a well deserved separate Team one. My 1st recollection of Saints Managers was Johnny Pattillo, (2/53-5/58), who had a 45% success rate in the old B Division or Div.2. Subsequent Managers' were :- Bobby Brown 38% Willie Ormond 42% Jackie Stewart 25%b Jim Storrie 27% Alex Stuart 30% Alex Rennie 41% Ian Gibson 47% Alex Totten 43 % John McLelland 24% Paul Sturrock 46% Sandy Clark 31% Billy Stark 42% John Connolly 36% Owen Coyle 51% Derek McInnes 41% Steve Lomas 36% Tommy Wright 40.67% Callum Davidson 41.67% Haven't included caretaker Managers. Owen Coyle tops the list at 51%. Some of the stats are a surprise, thereagain not all were in the Top league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
double deluxe Posted May 10, 2021 Report Share Posted May 10, 2021 Alex Rennie managing a part time side to the first division championship above full time Hearts is up there with any achievements of any Saints manager HOODLUM65 and Cleveland-Saint 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise John Connolly is neck-and-neck with Steve Lomas, who got us to third in the league! blueheaven 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you would have deduced from that , some were in the lower leagues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueheaven Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 Can't really take anything from those stats without context, but Ian Gibson having the second-highest percentage is a bit of a surprise. Sandy Clark's percentage being so low really demonstrates just how dramatically our results dropped under him, given that he started with two really strong seasons here.
