Davies’ Record Under the Microscope – Stacks Up Against Birmingham’s Best?

Birmingham City supporters have enjoyed one of the most historic seasons throughout the club’s 150-year history this term as Chris Davies’ side secured promotion with a 2-1 victory over Peterborough United on Tuesday night.

The 40-year-old honed his tactical craft under Brendan Rodgers and Ange Postecoglou at some of British football’s most-respected clubs, such as Liverpool, Celtic and Tottenham Hotspur, and has fully repaid the faith put in him by Tom Wagner, who moved to appoint the Watford-born man after an extensive off-season managerial search.

Much has been made of the resources at Davies’ disposal at St Andrew’s @ Knighthead Park, which led to a club and League One-high spending spree, with the high-profile deal to sign Jay Stansfield on a permanent basis from Fulham only adding to the pressure and spotlight on the Second City club throughout their first and now, only season in the third tier since 1995.

However, the Blues boss has moulded a side, which included 17 summer incomings, into an efficient winning machine, breaking plenty of records along the way.

Tuesday’s narrow success at the Weston Homes Stadium represented the club’s first promotion in 16 years. And, with that in mind, FLW compares Davies’ winning percentage in B9 thus far with the two managers who have also achieved promotions with Birmingham since the turn of the millennium.
