sorry I spelt Palace wrong.

No I don't remember the circumstances but I've just remembered that Peter Taylor was actually a very good manager and I've probably eaten something that's gone off, I'll make more sense tomorrow after I've had a lie down.

Their win ratios are all here:

To contradict myself, the ratios don't always tell the full story of course. I appreciate the circumstances in which some of these people found themselves managers weren't ideal. Keith Millen is one of the managers that has a 0% win rate (in two of his spells), but I doubt anyone would boo him for it. In my years as a fan, I remember Alan Smith's second spell seeming pretty poor. Also Hart and Burley who were managers during a difficult period for the club, but still think they'd have done badly anyway. Funnily enough, I didn't realise Trevor Francis had such a bad win ratio. I don't remember him setting the world alight, but at the same time his name wouldn't have come into the frame from my somewhat cloudy memory.

Trevor Francis for me. Only manager I've openly 'bollocked' in public.

A tip of the cap to Peter Taylor though for some truly woeful football. I still shudder when I see our team all standing on one side of the pitch during goal kicks.

Wasn't that win at Hull before Pulis? If so, then it's in the stats (his first spell of three).
