arguments about the quality of the football, confidence, ALS, the fans, money available aside:
Peter Reid's last 38 competetive games at Sunderland:
LDLDWLLDLWLWDLWWLDLLDLLWLLWLDLWLLLDDDL
8 wins, 10 draws, 20 defeats
Walter Smith's last 38 competetive games at Everton:
WLDWDWLDLLWDWLDDDWLWLLLLLWWDWDLLDDWDLL
10 wins, 12 draws, 16 defeats
Bryan Robson's last 38 competetive games at Middlesbrough (pre Venables):
LDLLLWDDWDWWLLDWDDWWDLDLDWDWWLLLLLLLDL
10 wins, 12 draws, 16 defeats
Ruud Gullit's last 38 competetive games at Newcastle:
DLWDDWLLWLDWWWDWLLDWWLLWDWLDDDLDLLLLDL
11 wins, 12 draws, 15 defeats
Source = soccerbase
Take any selection of results, 25, 10 etc and Reid still looks bad compared to at least one other person on that list.
Gullit and Robson arguably spent more than Reid, but Smith spent far less.
How much longer shall we give him anyone?
