Will SM take us to promotion?

I don't think stats can tell us much about the OP's question partly because 1) squads/opposition/weather/support/ownership/injuries + timing of injuries + individual injured as compared to the same for the other clubs - timing/comparative timing of injuries season on season makes a huge different to the ceiling on a manager's performance and that's hidden in stats, then fixture list layered on top of that etc etc = how are you going to get stats to realistically compare all that? Too 1D for me, and 2) SM is untried at this level. The whole landscape of his performance environment is totally different from any (?) other manager in our history.

He is crap, and thats the difference..
