I wasn't trying to big Allardyce up, he was poor, he still had a better win percantage.
See, I think win% is a useful tool to compare managers but only over the long term.
I think it's questionable at best and intellectually dishonest at worst when comparing managers on half (or less) seasons. I mean, I'm not willing to state for the record Allardyce is a better manager than Keegan, due to KKs win % in 07-08 after taking over being 23.5% and Fat Sam's being 33%. Oh and Pardew's is higher than 23.5% too, but no one would say he's better than KK. It just doesn't make much sense to base opinions on comparing small samples like that.
Points per game is a much better metric - again over time - because it's trivial to construct scenarios where you're worse off with a higher win % (e.g. -5W0D33L would get you relegated, 4W34D0L would see you comfortable most seasons) but impossible to construct one where a higher points tally over time is worse.
Allardyce is still "ahead" in both measurements but I think over time Pardew will pass him.
