How does Pep's success rate compare?

I have been looking at the success (and otherwise) rate of City's managers (excluding caretakers), based on their wins as a percentage of games played (all competitive matches included). Pep's record speaks for itself, but some others are interesting:

P W D L %wins

P Guardiola 113 77 19 17 68.14
S Cowan (1946-7) 30 20 6 4 66.67
M Pellegrini 167 100 28 39 59.88
T Maley (1902-06) 150 89 22 39 59.33
R Mancini 191 113 38 40 59.16
J Hart 22 11 5 6 50.00

Compare and contrast with:

A Ball 49 13 14 22 26.53
M Allison (1979-80) 60 15 20 25 25.00
J Frizzell 42 10 12 20 23.81
J Benson 17 3 2 12 17.65

Stuart Pearce wasn't much better (35.42), with 103 goals in 96 games in charge.
Even the much-maligned Mark Hughes had a respectable 46.75 (albeit with a stronger squad), and Mel Machin had a worthy 45.38 - better than Joe Mercer, surprisingly (43.82)
The worst two, Frizzell and Benson (plus Pearce, come to that), show the dangers of appointing your No 2.

Not that I care about United, but for information, Mourinho averages 61.67, Ferguson had 59.67 and Moyes & Van Gaal both came in at 52 each.
And the much-heralded Klopp averages 52.94 percent wins, not as good as Benitez, Dalglish, Paisley or even Fagan.

N.B. Stats are quoted from Wiki, so if anyone finds inaccuracies, blame them, not me.

Apologies - I drew up a nice table, but it has come out as not very clear.
This is the kind of anslanal that gets folks fired :)
