This display shows the Managers of Tranmere Rovers that we have details about in the Card Museum. It's by no means complete so you'll have to bear with us while we gradually get it up to date. The number of League games a manager has been in charge of are accurate if full dates are shown. The Cup games only include those in our database, so all FA & League Cup games plus recent European games.
KEY
Win % - light grey - in charge for up to 10 League games
Win % - dark grey - in charge for up to 100 League games
Win % - black - in charge for up to 500 League games
Win % - gold - in charge for more than 500 League games
(If anyone would like to add details about their own club please get in touch with us at our usual email address.) |
