Going purely on results, Ady Williams was a bit of a let down!

Since I've been watching : Colin T*dd was a prize cunt. At least Wise left us with sum sort of team when he did it. I mean Kim Heiselberg - what the fuck kind of pro footballer was he.

Can't comment on Dave MacKay (Far too young  :shock: ) From what I have seen, has to be Colin Todd.

Jimmy Quinn P 85 .. W 19 .. L 45 .. D21

That was a pretty depressing period that sticks in my mind!!!

Dave Mackay's record, FWIW, was ...

P60 .. W18 .. L24 .. D18

Steve McMahon for being a total wanker

At least McMahon took us up though, and briefly took us to the top of the first division.

If it wasn't for us being a total cripple financially we'd have gone up that season IMO.

He was a cunt though.

Nov 2006 - present
 Paul STURROCK

So according to the success % the worst is Gorman or Quinn.

In all honesty I didnt go during the Premiership but Gorman never had a hope in hell so his percentage for that season shouldnt really count.
Quinn,Iffy and certainly in his second spell Kingy were in impossible situations so kingys percentage prooves he was ace.
So i'll plump for Todd because what he left  was by and large a complete load of wank.

Ken Beamish - the worst STFC side ever.
Les Allen was also a prize cock.
Recently, its Andy King all the way - for every Parkin there was a Whalley. For every Milner there was a Lightbourne. Tactically inept - as motivational as John Prescott and his post match interviews were as comprehensible as Russel Brand at the Brit Awards. A mangerial equivalent of Bowden. A complete waste of space.

I don't think any manager can really be judged on the constraints he had to work with. God, we got excited when Des Linton signed.

Griemink
Robinson Borrows Davies Hall
Howe Collins Bullock Gooden
Cowe Hay

And they played in the Championship!

 :nod: Couldn't agree more was delighted when King left he was the first of the cunts to leave, now all we need is the board to say goodbye and we will have our club back.

The choices were any one of the following:

Dave MacKay

Actually, I don't think he was a manager, so it's alright to mention Kandy Ing.

Didn't Alan McDonald get to be caretaker manager for a few days before Colin Todd decided he'd take charge a bit early? He wasn't in charge for any games so that would make his win record 0 / 0, which is an indeterminate form. Could be anything really.

We have had our fair share of inept managers as their records show.

Mackay though was something else - he really stuffed us

I was never particularly impressed with Roy Evans, he did bring Ruddock in with him.  Although i did like Paul Edwards.

First poster had it spot on - Dave Mackay , if only for displacing Stan Harland and totally cocking up the shape of the team
