davieG Posted 6 December 2015 Posted 6 December 2015 Holloway because I'll never get over that relegation that removed us from an elite group of clubs never having been out of the top two leagues But mainly because he didn't seem to have any sense of what it meant to the club and fans, have a sandwich what an utter arse? More than him though Mandaric a charlatan and con artist.
Great Boos Up Posted 6 December 2015 Posted 6 December 2015 David Pleat. But just can't forgive Holloway even though he just on the end of line of loosers. I need to vent my anger at someone.
ImBlue Posted 6 December 2015 Posted 6 December 2015 great great banter mate top post.It isn't banter. When a manager can gain promotion to the premier league and perform the best escape ever and still be disliked by a lot of his own fans, you know he's a detestable man.Outside that he was actively hated by the media, other clubs and general football fans alike.
Countryfox Posted 6 December 2015 Posted 6 December 2015 McGee by a country mile ........ all got a bit personal ... took the piss out of his move to a "big club" big style when his pack of cards came tumbling down, and even heckled him when he was being interviewed ... till he snapped. Think he got the message though.
pleatout Posted 6 December 2015 Posted 6 December 2015 Up and down the country KNOWING we are going to get beaten. Pleat out!
DB11 Posted 6 December 2015 Posted 6 December 2015 Ian Holloway, followed by Gary Megson for running away so quickly after being appointed
Countryfox Posted 6 December 2015 Posted 6 December 2015 Up and down the country KNOWING we are going to get beaten. Pleat out! D'you know ... as soon as I saw your user name I had a feeling I knew who you were going to say ...
bovril Posted 6 December 2015 Posted 6 December 2015 1. Taylor - appalling at his job. Arrogantly thought he could improve on what O'Neill had done by changing tactics and personnel needlessly. 2. Holloway - just a stupid twat. Irritating and incompetent. 3. Levein - dull person, dull football. 4. McGhee - always came across as incredibly arrogant. Played pretty football but without substance, we would have come straight back down with him at the helm. 5. Basset - clueless. We could have stayed up that season if we hadn't replaced dumb with dumber.
pleatout Posted 6 December 2015 Posted 6 December 2015 D'you know ... as soon as I saw your user name I had a feeling I knew who you were going to say ... I did consider saying Taylor just for the devilment but Mr Pleat left me so scarred, it's taken years of therapy and I'm still not over it.
The Doctor Posted 6 December 2015 Posted 6 December 2015 It isn't banter. When a manager can gain promotion to the premier league and perform the best escape ever and still be disliked by a lot of his own fans, you know he's a detestable man. Outside that he was actively hated by the media, other clubs and general football fans alike. He wasn't disliked by a lot though, just a small group who never wanted him back to start with and hated him because he showed them for the mugs they are. Anyone who says Pearson is the sort of person who would have been sectioned for dangerous insanity back in the late 1800s. Holloway for me (just ahead of Taylor). Taylor was incompetent and destroyed us, but Holloway was all that as well as an utter bell more interested in making a quip to get attention for himself rather than fixing it. Taylor was out of his depth but Holloway was just a self-obsessed buffoon.
Webbo Posted 6 December 2015 Posted 6 December 2015 Sousa, so obvious he was out of his depth. On reflection I'll change to McGhee, the wanker

We could have stayed up that season if we hadn't replaced dumb with dumber. Thats very very harsh. Basset made us respectable and difficult to beat at a time we were shipping 5-0 losses to Bolton at home, 6 v Leeds, 4 v Arsenal, and in the process brought in two key parts of the promotion winning campaign the following season: Paul Dickov who was an excellent signing, and gave Micky Adams' the reigns at the end of the season. Basset was the first man left with Taylor's mess and did pretty well with it.
LTID Posted 6 December 2015 Posted 6 December 2015 Frank McLintock. 1977/78 Season: - Just 26 goals in 42 league games, Club records: Least wins - 5 Most defeats - 25 Most home defeats - 10 Lowest points total 22
Len Finsbury Posted 6 December 2015 Posted 6 December 2015 Allen for me. What was that all about? So uninspiring, even in his very short visit here. I was optimistic with Taylor and even remember thinking that he might still turn it around right up to his sacking. At the time, I think I may have even thought the club was making a mistake. I think it was his reputation, he was the England manager for one game remember! Shame things turned out the way they did.
davieG Posted 6 December 2015 Posted 6 December 2015 McLintock has got to be up there with Taylor in terms destroying a team and incompetence he took a decent Bloom field team that had finished the previous season in 11th place and ended up 22nd with just 5 wins and scoring just 26 goals Players like Worthington, Weller, Blockley, May, etc were replaced by Lammy Robertson, Alan Waddle and Roger Davis.

Leicesterpool Posted 6 December 2015 Posted 6 December 2015 Levein is probably got to be up there, never rated him before he got job and thought less of him after. Sousa is another one, didn't the hate guy but always felt he was overrated before he got job and how right was. Funny though where Sousa went on after us!?
MC Prussian Posted 6 December 2015 Posted 6 December 2015 In the space of only a few years, we've had the pleasure to witness the club appoint a series of incompetent clowns that added insult to injury (following the near-administration in the early Noughties). So my Not-So-Top-Three reads as follows: 1. Holloway - irritating and managing the unthinkable (relegation to League One) 2. Allen - irritating and clearly out of his depth 3. Megson - thanks for nothing (four games and you were a goner)
Great Boos Up Posted 6 December 2015 Posted 6 December 2015 On reflection I'll change to McGhee, the wanker Can't choose between a tosspot and a willy puller: you're so indecisive!

Sousa is another one, didn't the hate guy but always felt he was overrated before he got job and how right was. Funny though where Sousa went on after us!? Well, surely that proves that Sousa was very much NOT overrated then? Levein had the task of getting a team back to the Premier League while constantly slashing the clubs budgets. We couldnt afford 100k for Joey Gudjonsson. I dont think he can be blamed as one of the worst ever

Fatbloke Posted 6 December 2015 Posted 6 December 2015 Holloway because I'll never get over that relegation that removed us from an elite group of clubs never having been out of the top two leagues But mainly because he didn't seem to have any sense of what it meant to the club and fans, have a sandwich what an utter arse? More than him though Mandaric a charlatan and con artist. Holloway may have been the poor sod standing on the touchline at Stoke but he was NOT the reason we went down, that was 100% Martin Allen, 15 signings in the summer NONE of which played in the last game, the dick head destroyed the club and so gets my vote, Mandaric arguably saved the club AND found our current owners and for that he`ll always have my gratitude.
Great Boos Up Posted 6 December 2015 Posted 6 December 2015 Can't choose between a tosspot and a willy puller: you're so indecisive! How did that happen? I Wrote willy puller and it came out willy........ hold on I quoted your word that rhymes with flanker. Don't willy pull the mods, they change everything to I like wearing womens clothes That told him!
