There has to be at least two or three names there less popular than Hart. I'd say McMahon and Malpas would be fairly universal. Personally I'd add Todd and I think Andy King towards the end (didn't hate him myself).

McMahon is weird for me... I was too young to properly hate him, and we won the league. I hated Quinn more.

Its interesting to see Wilson's win record stack up well. I guess splitting that % into two seasons would tell the story better though.

Hart's press conferences were just a joke, on a par with Malpas, he just spewed up a bunch of frustrating toss.
When I needed confidence, direction and hope all I got was a load of detached, argumentive, vague ramblings, and an annoying insistence that we were playing 4-3-3.

They overlooked Justin Edinburgh's record of being manager for one day - played 0. Malpas for me.

Has to be McMahon surely? Although Hart deserves special commendation for speed

I've certainly never turned on a manager so quickly. But McMahon would be least popular for me, then Hart, followed by King, Todd and Malpas.

I agree with this, I couldnt wait for him to leave at the time, but looking back now - he was quite comical in a kinda drunk uncle at a wedding way. His ramblings about cigars and blaming Barbara for everything in his press conferences used to make me laugh, much better than rowing with Vic Morgan about formations.

Jimmy Quinn never stood a chance under those circumstances. Steve McMahon was a knobhead. Maurice Malpas era just wasn't very good.
For me it's Colin Todd all day long.

Quinn did a good job and should never have been sacked. Simmilar season to 1999/2000 this year, and the players reacted so much better to it in 2000 under Quinn. Todd, McMahon, Malpas, Hart. When you think about it, its no wonder weve gone backwards so much in the last 15 years.

McMahon and his Scouse sidekick Rikki Hunt for ripping the heart and soul of of the club, the lack of respect and dignity they showed to great club servants like Andy Rowland, John Trollope and also players like Fraser Digby, Shaun Taylor and Paul Bodin. The wedge driven between supporters (Bury away anyone) and the club and McMahon's hatred of any mention of the Hoddle, Ardiles or Macari era.
How the lazy Adver journo come up with Hart being the most unpopular manager just based on a quarter of a season and the fans turning over the last couple of games!
