First season in L1(eqiuv) he probably was, finishing about 10th/11th. But we finished dreadfully under him in Champ(equiv) and were dreadful under him.that second L1 season with Pards having to come in.
I'm constantly amazed how well Stam features, given how utterly awful we were at the end of his tenure.
And Paunovic is really saved by Bowen's good summer work and that first couple of months.
Not sure what good summer work Bowen particularly did to aid Pauno. Josh Laurent aside, it was the same squad that had a piss poor end to the season followed by a covid enforced short close season .
Bowen’s win record as interim manager would be up there with the better managers I think . His record as a permanent at the lower end .
I generally have this feeling that the more supposedly technical managers did better during Covid without fans whilst those who were more driven by tempo and energy fared better with supporters.
Reckon If we’d rehired Bowen when the crowd restrictions were lifted we’d have made the play offs
