But that's the strange misconception, we didn't actually do any better under El Tel, he only had a 48% win percentage compared to that abject failure Roy Hodgson who achieved a 59% win percentage and Sven-Goran Eriksson at nearly 60%!

We have just gone back to the era of El Tel, where we put a manager's character before his actual ability!
