We had the players under Atkinson to be a Top Three side but instead he got us relegated. Getting us promoted again was a gimme but it was winning the LC that gave Atkinson his legendary status.
In truth, he badly underachieved in the league but getting relegated & promoted again gets more popularity than keeping a side up twice. These days, he would have been sacked for getting us relegated. His actual managerial achievements are behind those of Wilko & Jack.

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
