So McM better than Bobby, said no one ever!
Edit. For the avoidance of doubt, just playfully highlighting how Stats can be misleading!
Edit 2: And well done KM :-) [Post edited 4 Mar 8:05]

Of course Sir Bob is the only one there that had us every season he was here in the top flight |  | | |

No one is saying that. They are saying that he’s the faster manager in our history to reach 100 wins. That’s all. |  |

Yeah, I thought my eyes were deceiving me there for a minute. What a weird post. |  |

Indeed. Was merely making the point that statistics can be very unreliable sometimes. | |

Not really. The statistic is that he’s the fastest to 100 wins. That’s all and that’s not misleading; he is. People can selectively use or interpret stats in different ways to arrive at different conclusions, but that’s something different. The underlying stats are still the stats and can only be unreliable if incorrectly measured or reported.

But the pitches were much heavier and more tiring…
And they were hungover and having fags at half time. TWTD | |

It’s an impressive stat when you consider last season in the prem where we barely won a game. |  | | |

I think you're interpreting this wrong. It's just a comparison of who was quickest to 100 wins and nothing more.
For what it's worth, Sir Bobby didn't make the fastest of starts to his career here, however, all 100 of his wins were in the top flight. |  |

Statistics are not unreliable, they are facts. How they are used (or misused as you have) is a different matter. | | | |

Like a lamppost to a drunken man, statistics are more for support than illumination. |  | | |
