From Coppell onwards the best and worst palace managers (at least 20 games) by win ratio: Dave Bassett 48.33 George Burley 28.00 I think from this list, Pulis and Pardew come out well, although Pardew spent alot, Dowie is mainly because he inherited AJ, Hodgson and Warnock look bad but didn't spend much, PV is ongoing (at the moment)

Thought Trevor Francis would be in the mix for worst Palace manager stats. He truly was a clueless clown.

Pardew, to my mind, was one of the worst managers we've ever had. And in contrast, who thinks any of the bottom five are worse managers than Peter Taylor? Lists like this take no account of the circumstances the managers faced and the players they had at their disposal.

I am surprised at SC being so low albeit in 5th and most of his time was in the top tier. I am very surprised at Dave B being that high but those were different days. Interesting set of stats though, a bit of a blockbuster you could say
Enjoying getting up later and not having someone who knows better than me (apart from the missus of course). |

Sir Steve had at least one spell where he saved the club with kids whilst the first team was being sold under him. He was a great manager.

Agreed with Steve being top of the list really, and the worst five should not have Hodgson or Warnock in them, although the two worst were awful

If we're honest, probably the most impressive performer on that list is Pulis because 1. he was here for a very short time, 2. he inherited a far poorer team than the others in the top 5, and 3. he got the results he did when our backs were firmly against the wall. His record isn't inflated by easy wins in meaningless, mid-table games; in the short time Pulis was with us, every game mattered. In context, what he achieved was remarkable whether you liked his football or not.
