People saying Warnock spent a lot. Obvs different eras so therefore different amounts but Venners was also allowed to spend big. Imagine if one of our recent managers had been allowed to basically buy Crystal Palace. Even Ainsworth might have got a few results. Not sure I'd agree that TV spent big in the same way Warnock did. The latter was allowed to spend money we didn't have, Venables spent money we earned from the sales of Allen (twice), Goddard, Woods and Roeder and from the cup run in 1982. They are not comparable in my opinion.

Has to be a case for Stock as the League Cup win in ‘67 put the club on the map - and we walked the Third that season too - but Jago modernised the football we played. Laid the foundation for Sexton. And promotion the season after 67/68 with more or less the same side. Went to nearly every game that season home and away. Ipswich away Micky Leach was superb and the scenes at Villa Park when we won promotion will forever live in my memory and heart. Me too, I was at both of those. At Villa the Holt End was divided by police but Villa were chucking coins over. Ipswich was possibly the day Mick Leach became a hero?

Dowie.
Highest win % of all of them. OK only 35 games but 53.3% is very decent.
Tel right up there too, just >50% from 166 games which is serious,serious form.

Detractors would point to the Omniturf pitch but point them to our away record during his reign... TV had us playing some ridiculously great football.

We actually had some good free kick and corner routines under TV - we even kept possession at throw-ins!

I’ve not been spoilt. Only managers of note in my era would Francis first time round, Warnock or Warburton.
