Spent £37m in the summer, had a 22% win rate under Adkins, bought one player in January who hasn't played, changed their manager and they have a 32% win rate under him. Looks like Pottechino has made a difference.

It's a fairly moderate difference though, but it's been enough. And if you factor that some of players brought in during the Summer have started to settle, it's difficult to see where one influence starts and another ends. He has given them a lift though and they're definitely playing more as a unit and a team. That guy we were linked with has looked better and better as the season has gone on.
 
Have a look at everyone's reactions to the sacking of Atkins: http://www.sixcrazyminutes.com/index.php?threads/nigel-adkins-sacked.27489/page-2

Sheik - most clubs improve in the first 6 months after appointing a new manager. It's a widely observed phenomenon, not necessarily to do with something the manager is doing himself. See our second half of the season when Kenny took over, and compare with the following season. Way too small a sample size to determine anything yet.
 
The new guy also did well in quite a tough run of games.

I think he's proven a lot of people wrong.
 
I find it amusing that people take the piss out of facts, and protect outdated myths as gospel.

It's ironic in many regards.
 
So you're telling me Martinez, Pulis and Hughton would have gotten Utd, City and Chelsea to the same league finish as the current managers?
 
I'll tell you what, I'll get someone with Kop in their username on twitter to tweet it.

You'll believe it then

You should try to explain your ridiculous facts instead of being a gigantic cunt
