Managers
All first-team matches in national or international competition are counted, except the abandoned 1939–40 Football League season and matches in wartime leagues and cups.
Manager dates and statistics are sourced from Matthews (1995) for Jones and Watson, The Birmingham City FC Archive for McRoberts to Francis, and Soccerbase thereafter. Omissions and other discrepancies are corrected with input from Matthews (1995), Matthews (2000) and elsewhere, and are noted in the table. Names of caretaker managers are supplied where known, and periods of caretaker-management are highlighted in italics and marked . Win percentage is rounded to one decimal place.
Statistics are complete up to and including 24 February 2013.

Famous quotes containing the word managers:
“We also have to make sure our children know the history of women. Tell them the rotten truth: It wasn’t always possible for women to become doctors or managers or insurance people. Let them be armed with a true picture of the way we want it to be.”
—Anne Roiphe (20th century)
