Title: Just how bad a manager in Swindons 142 year history is John Sheridan? Post by: Peter Venkman on Wednesday, March 17, 2021, 12:12:03 Here is a list of our poorest performing managers ever since the club was formed in 1879.
---------------------------------------------- Loss percentage....list of the percentage of games lost by a manager with the highest at the top John Sheridan Loss% 61% Paul Hart Loss% 54% Jimmy Quinn Loss% 53% John Gorman Loss% 52% Les Allen Loss% 47% Mauric Lindley Loss% 45% Luke Williams Loss% 44% Colin Todd Loss% 44% Maurice Malpas Loss% 42% Dave Mackay Loss% 40% Neil Harris Loss% 39% Iffy Onoura Loss% 38% Ken Beamish Loss% 36% Kev Mcdonald Loss% 35% Phil Brown Loss% 33% ---------------------------------------------- Win percentage....list of the percentage of games won by a manager with the lowest at the top Paul Hart Win% 9% John Gorman Win% 21% Les Allen Win% 21% Jimmy Quinn Win% 22% Colin Todd Win% 22% John Sheridan Win% 23% Iffy Onoura Win% 25% Luke Williams Win% 27% Maurice Lindley Win% 28% Kev Mcdonald Win% 29% Neil Harris Win% 30% Dave Mackay Win% 31% Phil Brown Win% 31% Maurice Malpas Win% 31% Ken Beamish Win% 38% ---------------------------------------------- PPG average....the average points per game for each manager based upon 3 points for each game won and 1 point for each game drawn with the lowest at the top. John Sheridan PPG 0.84 Paul Hart PPG 0.87 Jimmy Quinn PPG 0.88 John Gorman PPG 0.90 Les Allen PPG 0.95 Colin Todd PPG 1.00 Luke Williams PPG 1.09 Maurice Lindley PPG 1.10 Iffy Onoura PPG 1.12 Maurice Malpas PPG 1.19 Neil Harris PPG 1.21 Dave Mackay PPG 1.22 Phil Brown PPG 1.28 Ken Beamish PPG 1.40 Kev Mcdonald PPG 1.43 Also if we lose to Fleetwood on Saturday then that will be our worst run of consecutive league defeats since October 2005. Coincidentally when we were sat at tthe bottom of this division a season we were relegated in. Title: Re: Just how bad a manager in Swindons 142 year history is John Sheridan?

Title: Re: Just how bad a manager in Swindons 142 year history is John Sheridan? Post by: Gnasher on Wednesday, March 17, 2021, 12:19:37 In short, John is officially the worst manager in the club's history.
I'd be interested to know which manager has the lowest win percentage in football league history. He'd probably be top of that list too!

I'd be interested to know which manager has the lowest win percentage in football league history. He'd probably be top of that list too! This has to close 2007/2008 - Jewell failed to turn things around for Derby and the club spent most of the season at the foot of the table, recording a club and top-flight record run of 32 league games without a win. Title: Re: Just how bad a manager in Swindons 142 year history is John Sheridan? Post by: Peter Venkman on Wednesday, March 17, 2021, 12:35:16 This has to close 2007/2008 - Jewell failed to turn things around for Derby and the club spent most of the season at the foot of the table, recording a club and top-flight record run of 32 league games without a win. 20% win percentage and 53% loss ratio during his 58 game spell there. So Sheridan is a fair bit worse overall when it comes to defeats. Title: Re: Just how bad a manager in Swindons 142 year history is John Sheridan? Post by: The Artist Formerly Known as Audrey on Wednesday, March 17, 2021, 12:43:46 Seeing as you’re in stats mode, we have 22 defeats so far. What’s the highest number we’ve ever had in a season?
Title: Re: Just how bad a manager in Swindons 142 year history is John Sheridan? Post by: Jimmy HaveHave on Wednesday, March 17, 2021, 12:46:22 Love to know the highest home defeats in a season although not all down to Sheriden
Title: Re: Just how bad a manager in Swindons 142 year history is John Sheridan? Post by: Costanza on Wednesday, March 17, 2021, 12:47:57 We lost 26 in our final second tier season (99/00).
Can't imagine there will be more than that. Title: Re: Just how bad a manager in Swindons 142 year history is John Sheridan? Post by: Panda Paws on Wednesday, March 17, 2021, 12:55:41 So just to confirm, we're on the verge of our worst season ever, with our worst manager ever in charge and an owner who couldn't care less. Joy.

Of course, things can always get worse. Did Morrissey ever say that? Title: Re: Just how bad a manager in Swindons 142 year history is John Sheridan?

Post by: TheDukeOfBanbury on Wednesday, March 17, 2021, 14:25:17 Grim reading this.
Trying to come to terms with how I am feeling with all STFC right now. I think becoming older has made this worse as I crave for better times, made even worse because last season I absolutely loved every minute of it. I have gone from hope, downbeat, sad and depressed. Now I have simply come to a method of just letting it go. The fact that I don’t have to make a choice to go to the games maybe a blessing but equally being at the games I could at least voice my concerns. We have to sit back and let this bottom out and it will. The sooner the better and only knows where the base point will end up being. What a mess.

I might be a year or two ahead of you - I left in 1970. Only names I remember from my class were John Beard - from a local family building firm - and Karl von Buren, which sounds terribly exotic for the era - I wonder what his parents' story was? Looking him up now, it seems he went on to Commonweal and eventually became Head of global Equity at HSBC. Blimey. :eek: Title: Re: Just how bad a manager in Swindons 142 year history is John Sheridan? Post by: pauld on Wednesday, March 17, 2021, 14:52:29 Apt.

A badge of misery to have lived through the worst manager ever epoch. Let's hope a couple of immaterial, fluke wins don't spoil the stat. That would make me miserable. As has been observed, only JS and Power still hanging around stinking the place out next season could be worse. Title: Re: Just how bad a manager in Swindons 142 year history is John Sheridan?

Post by: RedRag on Wednesday, March 17, 2021, 16:25:57 I may be older than most.
However, we have all suffered enough trauma to have understandably needed to blank out certain episodes of STFC history from our memory banks. In my case, I have zero recollection of Kevin Amankwah's friend ever having managed Swindon. Sounds like it was pretty awful. But not THIS bad.
