Ranking Managers

[Lennon]

Football managers obviously have an influence on the game. What do you think would be the best way to rank them? One idea I have is to compare the teams' points per game before a manager arrived to their point/game after. So, for example, Harry Redknapp's score would look like this ... Points per game with Spurs = 1.67 Spurs' points per game before Redknapp (under Ramos) = 1.46 Rednapp's Rating = 1.67-1.46 = 0.21 Now this is just a quick example for a single season ... to get a manager's full rating I would do the same thing for every team they've managed. Do these ratings make sense? Is there a better way to go about ranking managers? How should I got about awarding bonus points for league titles and success in Europe?

Re: Ranking Managers I think that kind of ratings will help making predictions, but predict some match outcome only on that depended is impossible of course. However, good idea and also very hard work...
