I don't know if it's just me and I'm being overly sensitive but I'm not really comfortable with the thread title 'most hated' Town manager. A more appropriate title would be 'most disliked' or 'least favourite'. Hate is such a strong, emotive word and I would hesitate to use it in any context and certainly not when discussing the merits or otherwise of a football manager.
Was thinking the same. |

Went for Morris.
Flitcroft might also have been a candidate for the list.
Although he won half of his games here, there was a lot of rubbish played at home plus the timing of his departure.
No warm inner glow for him.

In reverse chronological order (i think)
The worst is less of a debate, as the win% and PPG probably tells you that. So its most hated.
Caretakers don't apply. Sorry Gav, I don't care whose house you've been to.
To make it interesting, I'm allowing two votes each.
Choose wisely.
I only had one vote. |

Treated Dion Conroy very badly, the winner against Oldham scored by Conroy, when soon after Oldham were relegated from the EFL, was poetic justice as was Sheridan's angry reaction to some of the home fans.
Was beautiful that. I was in the corner of the arkells near town end about to leave, loads ran straight over to give him abuse. Sour faced cunts reaction was priceless. |

As for the quote about celebrating when Andy King died...please take a step back and try and get some perspective for your own sanity...
Its fine to hate something or someone in a footballing sense. Celebrating someone died wasn't something I expected, much less one that wasn't even on the list. |

Wasn’t a fan of Kingy as a manager.
In theory would have been well worth a wage at STFC in a different capacity.

McMahon was well hated but at least he got us a promotion.
Sheridan was just a vile person.

However the manager I hated more than either was King. I know I'm an outlier on that but I genuinely celebrated when he died, I hated him that much.
Hahaha fucking hell |

Paul Hart for me. I really got into football and supporting the town during the Danny Wilson era, and my god, turgid crap on the field with Calvin Andrew as a lone striker (not 3 up top) was an absolute nightmare.

I understand how you meant it and that you wouldn't have expected the extreme Kingy reaction. I just think that dislike is a more appropriate and accurate word for 'football hate'... |

Football language is full of hyperbole though. Or are we to sing "We dislike Oxford, and dislike Oxford"?
There will always be some who take things too far. Such is life.

Build a metaphorical bonfire, build a metaphorical bonfire! ...An Oxford fan on a piece of string, told me to have a quiet word with him... The referee's doing a difficult job sub-optimally! I think this could catch on. |
