Lambert took 855 days to reach 37 wins as Town manager.
He lost 48 times out of 113.
McKenna achieved the feat in just 457.
He's lost just 12 from 70.
That's 43 games difference to reach 37 wins.
The club is a world away from where it was during Lambert's time, but to me that is sobering.
Next one to catch is Jim, on 56 wins from 148 games.

Stats aside, I really like and admire McKenna, Lambo is just one of a sorry sequence of bad manager choices during the Evans era that thankfully are in the past. |  |

Cook was selected by Evans also.
Barring McCarthy, who at least had some success before things fell apart, it was five failures from six, which is quite a sequence. |  |

That then suggests that there was something more wrong than managers.
Goes to show what an outstanding job Mick done despite everything else in the club being rotten.
And before people come at me with the style of football, I know. |  | | |

McCarthy was the closest Evans had to what he actually wanted, an all-round, competent manager who could run the whole club for him with a small backroom team and on a fairly tight budget. Same as Robson and Ramsey had done for the Cobbolds. Unfortunately for our owner, football at the higher levels had changed vastly since the 1960s and '70s, not least in finances and staff structures. But he apparently couldn't see that, despite allegedly being mates with Harry Redknapp, one of the agents of that change. | |

There certainly was. The common denominator was the person who picked mostly crap managers, made awful decisions around the footballing side, micromanaged badly and let the facilities rot. |  |

12 losses from 70 is mega impressive. |  |

No ‘suggests’ about it.
What was wrong with the club, on and off the pitch was Marcus bl00dy Evans! |  | | |

Is McCarthy still a competent manager? | | | |
