Notes

• % POINTS assumes three points for a win, even if a manager was operating in an era when two points for a win was the norm. The figure includes cup matches unless you have selected one of the Type of Match options for League Games only.
• 46 GAME AVG is the typical number of points that should be expected over a 46-game league season with that particular % POINTS figure.
• Until 1958 Pools competed in a Football League consisting of three tiers. The third tier was split into regions, with Division Three (North) and Division Three (South) being, in theory at least, of equal strength.
