Leicester City's Greatest Villain?

[Saxondale]

Wise and Eric.

Remi Harrel would have been my third (the bent Frenchman who dumped us out the UEFA Cup).

[Guest bss9401]

Taylor from that list, but I would add Frank McLintock. Certainly the choices as clueless managers who nearly destroyed the club.

[Phube]

I don't see Peter Taylor as an enemy. Sure he was crap, but not on purpose. He did his best and didn't send us down maliciously.

Now Wise, Hall, Sheared etc. We're nasty pieces of work. Deliberately.

[UpTheLeagueFox]

Taylor, Wise, Holloway. Close thread 

[shailen]

jermaine beckford.Clearly had the talent but an awful attitude let him down. Really frustrated me, he did.

My choice as manager Wise as player.

Surprised you said that.

How many managers that season how much trouble I blame MM for that season.

No manager should be blamed for that.

 

Was like pick n mix at woolies everyone had a hand in it.

Holloway was dog shit here. We were 15th when he came and he took us down. Played Hume on the wing and never played Fryatt. Loaned in two shit Hungarians and signed Barry Hayles.

He was at fault for our relegation

[Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot]

Dennis Wise the biggest bell end but Taylor the biggest villain.

[AyewJoking]

why oh why vote Dennis Wise he will probably get a semi to go with his cheesy grin when reading this.

[leicsmac]

Wise and Hall take some topping. Taylor wasn't really a villain, just hopelessly, terribly incompetent with the money he was given, which is what led us to that situation.

[J.Lisemore]

Dennis Wise/Eric Hall combo just edging out Peter Taylor and that ref in the home tie v Athletico Madrid.

 

Yep, agree with this. Anyone know where Wise is these days? fallen off the face of the earth hopefully.

[dayday]

Eric "Monster Monster" Hall,what a total bell end,anybody who tries to put a club out of business like he did with us,is the ultimate villain.

I remember him being on GMTV,trying to put his point across for why he was trying to see us go under,looked a total idiot.

Don't know what happened to him,though interestingly he suddenly went out of the limelight,after that saga.

His management company went tits-up in 2001, the year before City did and around the time that he foisted Wise on us. He apparently presents a radio show on some Essex local station now.

 

I rarely wish bad things on people, but he is someone who I hope gets an extremely painful, debilitating, incurable but non-life threatening illness, and that he lives to be at least 150.

[Dickov22]

Biggest for me is Sven but hes not on the list.

 

I'd go with Peter Taylor and Dennis Wise after Sven

I work with Matty Fryatt's agent. Holloway told Fryatt when he joined 'One day there will be a statue of you outside this ground, you're that good son'. Next day signed Hayles and barely gave Fryatt a minute's game time after that!

 

Idiot

[LCCFox96]

As a younger fan I've only picked the more recent players. I don't really remember our previous premier league campaigns as I was only 8 so all league one and championship villains for me:

 

1) Holloway for taking us down. That 1-3 defeat at home to Sheffield Wednesday being one of the darkest days I remember at the football club.

 

2) Kermogant for the chip. Why? Still haunts me!

 

3) Mattock because he's a ****. 

[Raj]

Peter Taylor x 3 votes.

He nearly ruined our club.

[bovril]

As Mac says, Taylor wasn't deliberately villainous, just hopefully out of his depth. The club should never have kept him in summer 2001 and given him that money.

For me it has to be Wise, such an utter utter shitbag of a man.

[Guest MattP]

Barrie Pierpoint is up there. The hatred for him when he nearly forced Mon out was outrageous.

The Wise/Hall combination probably tops it though, to try and force a club out of business on a personal vendetta was pretty ludicrous.

[Crazy Kop Corner]

Peter Taylor has 20 votes from the office here

[Jordan]

Villains have to be evil.

Peter Taylor is just an idiot.

It has to be the Wise & Hall combination--they actually "plotted" to take the club down. They even looked the part, too.

Barrie Pierpoint should get a mention, as MattP points out. I started following City's fortunes during the O'Neill days, and it really seemed like a battle of Good Guys vs. Bad Guys then. It seemed like the fans were, to a man, vehemently against the "Gang of Four."
