I seem to remember us being 2nd at the start of the season briefly with Moyes. Not with Davies though, we always seemed to be playing catch up.

Depends what you class as recent times, doesn't it? It's all very subjective. You could judge 'most successful' by a manager's greatest achievement(s), and if you count recent as, say, since 1960 (dropping out of Division One) then I suppose you'd put them in this sort of order:
1. David Moyes (Third tier champions, play-off finalists, second tier)
2. Alan Ball (Third tier champions)
3. Nobby Stiles (Promoted from third tier)
4. Gary Peters (Fourth tier champions)
5. John McGrath (Promoted from fourth tier)
6. Jimmy Milne (FA Cup finalists)
7. Billy Davies (Play-off finalists, second tier)
8. John Beck (Play-off finalists, fourth tier)
9. Craig Brown (Higher mid-table, second tier)
10. Harry Catterick (Mid-table, third tier)
And so on. Oh, it's probably all bullshit but you get the idea. If you judged them on number of games/points won, then Billy Davies would be top - but I can't be arsed working it out.

I could be wrong but didnt we hit top spot under moyes in our first season in this division, might only have been for the duration of one or two games, but theres something lurking in the darkest recesses of my brain that tells me we did😕
