Since January this year Keates has a 50%win ratio, 1.6pts per game, which in my mind is enough to keep his job and save more upheaval in the dressing room. The time to judge Keates will be 6 to 8 weeks into a new season and after the benefit of a summer window.

Any good salesman will tell you, you can manipulate stats any which way you want to fit your narrative. That's why things like this are a little misleading, they don't take into consideration the circumstances.
People bang on about Morrell, but the facts are he had a team of very good players who were already playing well. He just had to keep it ticking along. As a general rule of thumb the better players win more games.
