I'm far from moyes' biggest fan but I'd view that table taking into account it ranks possibly the worst rated and performing Chelsea manager in 20 years a place above him so it's nothing something I'd give much time to.

Clearly a load of tosh. Like saying Pope and the lad from Palace are better than van Persie because they've scored more goals than him this season.

Off that list who would you take? Apart from the obvious ones.

EDIT: Just seen the list go on and on....
from the top list!

Only meaningful stat is Moyes is 4th in the prem, behind Fergie, Mancini and Di Matteo.

Clearly has to be the Bournemouth manager with all of his top flight experience.

Benitez and Villas-Boas are also ahead of him

Have always liked Eddie Howe, had a bit of a torrid time at Burnley because half of the team were older than him (ala Vilas-Boas at Chelsea) but could be the next Moyes to come from lower divisions and do well in the prem. HAs a good chance of getting his second league pomotion as manager, which for a team like bournemouth is pretty amazing.

Amateur hour to not have a minimum games managed total to make the list.

6 Brian Flynn Doncaster Rovers 3 6 2.00

3 games? Hardly a suitable sample size to make any conclusions. Yet he's four spots ahead of Micky Adams who has basically the same points per game total from a sample 1000% larger. Back to school BBC ... actually second thought stay away from schools.

So they are. My bad! 6th best then - only Chelski, Citeh, Spurs, and Mancs have done better.

Moyles OUT Rafael IN!

More Eddie Howe stats, he kept Bournemnouth in the football league having taken over the reigns whilst the club were in the relegation zone and a massive 17 points adrift. He then took the club to promotion the next year, with a second place finish. despite a transfer embargo. During his current spell at bournemouth he ahs a 63.64% win ratio. I would be interested to see how he does in the championship, but he seems to be following a similar career trajectory to moyes. If moyes goes in the summer, I think Howe is someone we should look at to replace him.
