Probably won't be the route taken but was bored so looked at squad values versus table position to see which lower league managers were having the greatest "coaching effect".
In order of effectiveness from each league these current managers had the most positive results:
Championship:Sean Dyche, Burnley
League 1:Russell Slade, Orient
Dean Smith, Walsall
Ian Barker, Crawley
Mark Cooper, Swindon
Simon Grayson, Preston
League 2:Jim Bentley, Morecambe
Chris Wilder, Oxford
Justin Edinburgh, Newport
Wayne Burnett, Dagenham
Graham Alexander, Fleetwood
Paul Cox, Mansfield
Maybe a Lambert in there somewhere.
