Crafty Canary 547 Posted June 29, 2021 Given the criticism of Southgatr on here I thought I’d look at our best performing managers. There is only the World Cup and European Nations Championship as major tournaments that I have considered. I have only taken into account those managers who have achieved QFs or higher finishes and I have taken the WC to be worth more than the Euros for equivalent finishes. On this basis the rankings are: 1. Sir Alf Ramsey. WCF, WCQF, EuroQF 2. Gareth Southgate. WCSF, EuroQF (+) 3. Bobby Robson. WCSF, EuroQF 4. Sven Goran Eriksson. WCQF x 2, EuroQF 5. Terry Venables. EuroSF 6. Walter Winterbottom WCQF x 2 7. Fabio Capello EuroQF I have taken a SF finish to outrank QF finishes even if more lower finishes have been achieved. So Gareth Southgate is currently our equal second best performing manager with the possibility of going outright second. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
