Converting a win to 3 points, Solskjaer enjoyed a higher points average and win percentage than Durban.
In fact, Solskjaer had a better record than Phil Neal, Bartley Wilson, Jimmy Goodfellow, Alan Durban, Graham Williams, Terry Yorath and Paul Trollope. Trollope, for all City managers in charge for 10 or more games, has the worst record of the lot.
Our top 10 managers in terms of points per game are as follows:
Billy McCandless 1.80
Neil Warnock 1.74
Alan Cork 1.72
Malky Mackay 1.59
Lennie Lawrence 1.53
Dave Jones 1.52
Len Ashurst 1.52
Cyril Spiers 1.49
Russell Slade 1.47
Frank Burrows (first spell) 1.45
