I was referring to Joe not getting the 6 digit coefficients 100% right.

Were they? How so?

Point that stats prove nothing. Didnt Kerr get us up far in the rankings simply by doing so well in meaningless friendlies, and his percentage win was quite high.
Just hate stats in general, always can be manipulated to prove any point
(a pet peeve):D

Were they that different to Trap's?

Marginally worse. The biggest issue was that the relationship between Kerr, players, employer & press broke down.

Biggest issue was the fact that he finished 3rd and 4th in his 2 campaigns and blew chances to top both groups by being unable to hold onto leads (russia at home, Israel home and away) and by not showing up in do or die games (Swiss twice). Whatever criticism comes Traps way neither of those charges can be thrown his way this campaign although we did throw away a number of leads last time out. That problem has definitely been rectified this campaign.
