This post comes with the usual caveats: it’s for fun, we’re on the verge of rating updates so this is a point in time look at power rankings. And a shout out to Malcolm on whose data this is based. Over time, I do think it reflects a manager’s impact on the team – which managers can improve their teams v. which sink them or abandon ship to new pastures. The top 5s are comparing last season to this season, and season 20 to now (since that’s when I joined – I think) Without further ado…
