TEFs most most disliked Swindon Town manager ever

[Anonymous77]

Surprised some are saying Flynn.

Especially when you consider he only had around 14 capable footballers to work with. Also rumours of late wages and all the nonsense behind the scenes.

The first 8-10 games of the season was some of the best football I've seen Swindon play in a while. Perhaps not sustainable but I still think if he had 4-5 extra bodies we'd of been ok that year.

Agree that Aldershot was horrific and one of the worst day i’ll ever have following Town, but he was better than most names mentioned. I genuinely think our 2nd x11 this season is just as good if not better than Flynn’s 14 man squad. By October we had a league bench of Ward, Young, Genesini, Minturn alongside 2nd year scholar Hart and 1st year scholars Obodo and Alston.

Went for the Jurassic era. Not his doing obviously but was during the Covid debacle and everything just seemed to be miserable.

Like others, I certainly don't hate him, and wouldn't really hate any manager, unless he deliberately took the club under or whatever. But he did an awful job, don't think that can be argued.

With sheridactyl it was his attitude towards fans and his refusal to do the right thing and leave. Loathsome.

They thought they had it easy, they thought they’d won the cup,
Along came Swindon Town FC and ruined their afternoon out

😂 Love that. You'll have to revert to your previous "handle"

Mackay completely dismantled a very good squad so he could play himself and he was utter shite. Sacrificed Stan Harland and sold Don Rogers. He was a shitbag

[Hampshirered]

I was at the Belfry last year and Bournemouth were there ahead of playing Villa. Mark Travers and another player were out for a morning stroll. I mentioned Sheridan and he just laughed and laughed. Big fan of Kilkenny as well, he said he’d be unreal for us

[NotHarryAgombar]

I agree about Mackay - moving Harland on to play himself when his legs had gone was criminal.
I also didn’t like  Les Allen - assembled a poor team and the football was dire. Clueless.

Sheridan probably tops the list though - in addition to the stuff mentioned already, his foul mouthed touchline rantings which we endured on iFollow as the soundtrack to the awful football,  the 5 subs in 1 go at Gillingham (Taylor Curran being one, unless he started tag game) being among the things I recall of his dire tenure. The cathartic joy from Conroy after his last minute winner in the following season’s Oldham game, and Sheridan’s subsequent graceless “salute” to the fans as he stormed down the tunnel are the clincher.

Like, it seems, most others, Sheridan was a shoe-in for one of my votes.

Would certainly have gone for Mackay as my second choice. Maybe coming from being an impressionable young-un at the time but I've always considered that he oversaw the decline that led to the dire team of 1974, although Les Allen was in place after he left I've always pointed the blame at Mackay's door.

As it was I went for Hart as 2nd choice, simply down to the uninspiring football that brought no joy to watch and his dour public persona.

No Mackay option, so didn't vote.

Sheridan for the silver, Hart for the bronze.

Hart and Sheridan were the two main contenders for me. Hart was passively abysmal, so Sheridan's active antagonism helped him take the crown.

I fully understand why some would put McMahon over those two... I remember watching him play but I'm just a tad too young to have understood all that was going on back then.

[No Longer Posh Red]

I went for Sheridan, for obvious reasons & McMahon because he and Rikki Kunt are they only manager/owner combination that stopped me from going to games.

[Pericardinho]

Sheridan

Plenty of other incompetent managers, but he was the only one who I thought was genuinely sabotaging us and intentionally sending us down.

Mackay added lads.

Mackay added lads.

You're an absolute gent.

Now able to vote.

Sheridan a very worthy recipient of my "second" vote.
