202 points is mad.
Anyone know where it ranks in English football? I am guessing the likes of Man City, getting 90 points in 38 games a couple of years running must have surpassed it.
But has anyone in the EFL ever come close. Pretty much needs a team to get back to back promotions with close to 100 points. Teams get back to back promotions but not often as rampant champions both years.
To do it in your first 100 games in management is ludicrous! |  | | |  |

Just checked Southampton when they had the three seasons where they got docked 10 points and just missed out on the play-offs and then got promoted twice and their last 100 games of that period yielded 194 points. Possible they could have managed more over a different 100 games in that spell but I've got a life to lead. |  | | |

Sounds highly likely McKenna has a record then.
Not many teams get promoted and then continue the same form.
To manage it in his first 100 matches as a manager too, remarkable.
But, shush, don't tell anyone! |  |

N**wich under La**ert went back to back so wonder what their record was. At a guess, I’d say not as good because they will always be in our shadow. |  |

In 92 matches they totalled 179 points. Considering they were relegated in both of the seasons either side (actually not quite from the Premier League one surprisingly), I would imagine they didn't get 24 points from any combination of 8 matches on either side. | |

It's the fact that these are the first 100 games as a manager which make it so remarkable. Would be amazed if any rookie manager has achieved that at a similar standard before. No surprise then that he is such hot property. |  | | |

Anyone know of a database of manager stats?
Because I really want to write this query!!! (in SQL) | |

Yes, that does make it something more special even if others may have matched it. | | | |

I've finished your homework and they matched it: 180 points in their back-to-back seasons, but finished that run with 10 points from 7. So 170 points from 85 games and they took 32 points from the last 15 of their previous campaign. Luton got 201 points across a 100-game spell during which they back-to-backed. Norwich weren't close and I can't think of any others off the top of my head so will call it there!
PL is a separate beast for sure. Even Spurs probably recorded over 2 PPG across 100 games when they were twice runners-up not so long ago, but "first 100 league games of a manager's tenure at an English 92 member" removes the likes of Fergie, Klopp, Wenger, Poch etc. and Chelsea's 2-year 'policy' knocks out the likes of Conte and Ancelotti. I'd only put forward Guardiola and Mourinho confidently for achieving that (those two with a healthy amount of games to spare).
Narrow the criteria further to "first 100 games in management" and gawd knows. 2 points for a win knocks out those before the 80s. | | | |

Pep Guardiola achieved 236 points out of his first 100 league games in England (realise that wasn't the exact question). Remarkable considering he was thought to have struggled a bit in his first season. He did in fact lose as many games as McKenna in that time, but obviously won a bunch more too (73 games!). Given that he won a billion trophies in his first couple of years at Barca, I'd imagine his starting 100 may even better that (even including the spell at Barca B). |  | | |

Not English football but Welsh.
Barry Town went on a ridiculous run from 1995-2003. They were only beaten a handful of times in 8 years and won the Welsh Premier League 7 out of those 8 times. At one point they went 56 games without defeat. |  |

In February 2010, Guardiola managed his 100th match for Barcelona's first team. His record stood at 71 wins, 19 draws and ten losses, with 242 goals for and 76 against.
Some Cup matches were included
...I know the OP was about English managers

Yes. All our defeats under McKenna have been on a Saturday, except for Plymouth on a Sunday I think.
31 games on Monday - Friday. Nearly the same record as us at home in Europe. Something like 22 wins and 9 draws though. Might be slightly less wins but it was around that I think. | | | |

We need more games on days other than a Saturday... | |
