Title: Worst ever Town manager?
Post by: sonic youth on Wednesday, November 8, 2006, 23:25:09
For a larf...

I believe all the nominees got us relegated or were present at the club in a relegation season, with the exception of Mackay.

I'd have to got for Jimmy Quinn, though Gorman is close behind.

Went for Mcmoan because he had the personality of a picked cabbage.!
Even though he won us some silverware.

Gorman wasn't that bad ffs.

Iffy.  We had a resonably decent squad last season, and he had around 37 games to keep us up.  Whilst he came in when the morale of the club was low, we played too predictably, and ended up getting relegated.
In hindsight, Wisey or even Sturrock would have probably kept us up

Gorman was totally out of his depth, spending £600k on Mark Robinson, £800k for Beauchamp and £500k on Whitbread was a total waste, we didn't have that kind of money to throw away.

Todd


Title: Worst ever Town manager?
Post by: Ben Wah Balls on Thursday, November 9, 2006, 12:47:04
If Todd had stayed a bit longer and carried on being just as shit, he'd probably be the worst ever but don't think he was here long enough to judge properly.

I still defend Jimmy Quinn's reign at the club - There was absolutely nothing the guy could do.

That's my opinion anyway.

Indeed. The fact that he at least enjoyed some success before fucking things up should rule him out of this race.

Hate the bald scouse wanker, but cannot be classed as the worst manager, even if he did rip the heart and soul out of the club.

He bought Jan A F, any man who did that cannot be named as STFC's worst ever manager.

For me it's Todd, can't say I was a town fan or possibly even alive during John Trollope, Les Allen, Bert Head or Dave Mackay reign.

Todd spent a load of money on crap players then did a runner.

We are forgetting Tuttle. Ditched us after less than 24 hours. What a deserting waster. Didn't win a game, didn't even take training for fuck sake!

JAF Still arrived under the Gorman era.  If you use your arguement you could say that Gorman was hugely influencial during our promotion year under Hoddle.  As it was well known that Hoddle was unpopular with the players and Gorman, as his right hand man, was the rather successful man manager during that time.  

Gorman for all his faults cannot be classed as the poorest manager we have ever had.  IMO.

The fact that I had to consider my 'selection' for more than a nanosecond is evidence, if it were needed, that we've had to suffer a ridiculous succession of shite managers during recent years - but my vote goes to John Gormless. Lovely bloke, goes without saying.

Responsible for a full season of total misery. Bad enough that we only win five games, but the 5-0s, 7-1s, 6-2s, put a generation of kids off STFC forever.
