Another weird current trend amongst nu-internet-football-fans.
Next time someone puts some stupid, contextless stat up to prove that Mancini is actually the best manager in the world, I'm going to collate a "pounds spent per point" table up to "prove" he's actually the worst manager in the world.
Just glancing at the site and thought I'd come out of retirement to show you this:
<a class="postlink" href="http://transferpriceindex.com/2012/07/the-201112-update-to-the-all-time-best-managers-versus-the-mxir-model/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://transferpriceindex.com/2012/07/t ... xir-model/</a>
People actually do bother researching these things, and on the basis of money spent:points earned when equalised for inflation, Mancini is the third best manager in Premier League history. Funnily enough, above Mourinho.
Those stats only contribute data from last season so with this season's performance I imagine that he's slipped to fourth but just thought I'd log in and counter a badly made point.
Off I go back into the ether...
Interesting stats, cheers Damo
