In his last spell he won more than half of the games he managed, but also steered the club to the lowest League One finishing position of the Darragh MacAnthony era of 18th. He of course left Posh yesterday with the team bottom of League One and hot favourites to return to the bottom tier of the Football League for the first time since 2008.

It remains a strong legacy though. He won either promotions or EFL trophies in each of his four spells as manager at Posh. He finished with a neat figure of 300 wins.
