Joe Mercer's record with England

[lesblue]

I thought Mercer was only caretaker manager between Sir Alf and Don Revie?

Last 3 answers are on the right track.....

[T&S]

Peter Taylor?

[mark01]

The answer is Joe Mercer - his record was P. 7 W. 3. D. 3 L. 1 - A win percentage of 42%

This was second worse to Kevin Keegan whose record was P. 17 W. 7 D. 7 L.4 - A win percentage of 40%

By the way there has been 13 England managers.

Howard Wilkinson & Peter Taylorwere temporary appointments.

[lesblue]

Joe Mercer was also England's first CARETAKER manager, May to July 1974, following the resignation of Sir Alf Ramsey and before the appointment of Don Revie.

tali1 - its all according on how you ''statistically interpret results'' - do you call a drawn game after 90 minutes then winning on penalties still a drawn game (as you have done) or a win ( which I would have gone for). Euro 96 Spain

Would you have decided a drawn game after 90 minutes then losing on penalties was a drawn game (as you have done) or a defeat (which i would have gone for)? Euro 96 Germany
