TEFs most most disliked Swindon Town manager ever

[Crozzer]

I don't think there is cause for celebration when anyone dies, even if you didn't like them.  Professional help should be sought.

I don't know, there are some pretty evil people out there.......but Andy fucking King? 😂

I think i would have Phil Brown, or maybe even Flynn over Jody Morris. I feel like Morris was just a irrelevant. Here for 18 games and then gone like dust in the wind.

Andy King was a decent guy (IMO), I was sad at hearing his passing, mainly because he was relatively young and also I believe did not fulfill his potential as a manager.  As a player, he was extremely talented.

Can actually say that I became a friend.Behind the brash exterior was a real good bloke. Kind, funny but above all loyal. Thats how ex players from his playing days would also describe him.
Players like George Wood, Peter Reid and Jan Molby to name 3. Equally you won’t get a bad word from many Swindon players that played under him, Migs, SSP, Matty Hayward and more.

Gave me so many laughs and memories. In front of reporters a bloody nightmare.
RIP.

That Covid 2020/21 season was so weird. Power had lost out on a 'potential sale' off the back of promotion and just gave up and ran the club into the ground.

Letting Wellens go to Salford, the poor or non existent signings, selling DJ and appointing Sheridan when Noel Hunt was worth a go.

Anyone remember how bad the pitch was with sand put on it after years of pristine pitches?

Even then we could have stayed up and were above the dotted line for ages above basket case clubs like Wigan. Sheridan wanted to walk,  but Power made him stay.

Wasn’t it Ipswich away where the players had to take their own packed lunch!

Arguably the worst thing I’ve ever read on a Swindon forum.

Unbelievable absolutely unbelievable.
Lost for words.

Same here Duke.

Todd for me. He came in on a wave of optimism and, if I remember correctly, was given a fair bit of money to spend.
He bought some utter crap (including 300k for Gary Alexander who was garbage for us), then pissed off as soon as he saw what he'd let himself into, leaving Andy King to try to mop up the mess, just avoiding relegation to the 4th Division. The only bright spot with Todd was that, having landed the Derby job shortly leaving, after was sacked after a few months.

Although not strictly a manager (Director of football?) Sherwood could be added to the list. i'm sure he was picking the team at one point. Utter wanker.

More money than you could shake a stick at, wasn't it?

Some shite about blow your socks off signings was another saying I vaguely recollect from that time too.

[Super Hans]

From those available I went with Kennedy & McMahon. Others may have been worse but I absolutely detest both of them.

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.
Couldn't even tell you any one thing in particular that stands out as to why loathed him.

Sorry what?

Kingy was an approachable guy - me and my mate were 15 years old, went into the club shop and in he came. Made a few jokes and was genuinely a friendly fun person to be around. Not to mention we were 10 seconds away from a play off final v Bristol City under his leadership.

Going to have to go with Sheridan, shamed players publicly for not wanting to play, got Baudry to play with tears in his muscle even when he didn’t want to I believe. I did read a story that he was even found watching deal or no deal rather than doing training, but that could have been a satirical one 

[Crozzer]

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.

Arguably the worst thing I’ve ever read on a Swindon forum.

Yeah, not a nice thing to see at all.

I voted Morris and Sheridan.  I have always thought Morris is a prick, long back to his breakthrough Chelsea days, I let my usual stance of 'see how they with us' evade me with his arrival, I really couldn't get behind it at all.  Think this one is just that I genuinely really don't like the guy, Swindon connections or not.

Sheridan has to be my 2nd vote, not much to say really.

McMahon sold JAF, big red flag, we'd have stayed up I think and he was worth more.  But... He got us promoted and was actually a good player for us too, I lived too far away before social media and was still a bit too young etc. to be in the hatred camp with him.

[Qunk]

Sheridan. As a manager, and while he was dislikable as a person, I wouldn’t be happy to hear that he was dead.

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

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.

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...
