TEFs most most disliked Swindon Town manager ever

[Broadbents Tackle]

Build a metaphorical bonfire, build a metaphorical bonfire!

...An Oxford fan on a piece of string, told me to have a quiet word with him...

The referee's doing a difficult job sub-optimally!



I think this could catch on.

You're going home in the same way that you came.

Run, run, run, run, Reading(it's good for your health)

[No Longer Posh Red]

Its fine to hate something or someone in a footballing sense.

Celebrating someone died wasn't something I expected, much less one that wasn't even on the list.

I wasn’t a fan of Andy King, after our mascot experience, but couldn’t imagine celebrating his passing, the same was true of Paul Bradshaw after his assault on Alan Mayes.
Heck, I’m not sure I even celebrated the passing of Mrs Thatch.

[Peter Venkman]

All are valid votes, but 2 of my faves aren't even on the list in Flynn and Mackay.

Mackay is slightly before my time but my old dad despised him and that's good enough for me.

We had some great games under Flynn but the 4-7 home defeat is THE worst result in the clubs long history and for that he makes my list.

If you had asked me 10 years ago I would say Beamish by a country mile, far worse than Hart IMO. But, fucking hell we have had some shit in the last 10 years.

MacMahon got us playing some good football but at the end he was a weasel.

As an aside I had some very bad experiences personally with Andy King as did my Bro in law whos son was an apprentice under King, I reserve my right to judge him poorly, you can only judge by how you have experienced people. I know many loved him, I didnt hate him but didnt like him much.

Sheridan was utterly useless and Kennedy no better. Hart was just dull and boring.

I think to be hated they have to be arseholes as well. Flynn was a bad manager but always seemed to be a reasonable nice fella (as seems to be playing out at Cheltenham currently).

Hart had a 9% win rate, statistically our worst ever. He absolutely was useless, but probably wasn't here long enough to be a true villain.

On win % alone:

Hart 9.09
Kennedy 18.75
L Allen 20.31
Gorman 20.83
Morrris and Todd 22.22
Quinn 22.35
Sheridan 24.24
Onuora 25.00

A few of those were nice guys with their hands tied (Gorman, Onuora, Quinn). A few were awful and wankers too.

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.

I suspect Sheridan gets a lot of votes because at times it genuinely felt like he was deliberately making decisions to negatively affect the team.

[Berniman]

One of my votes would have gone to Malpas if he was on the list

I had forgotten that personalityless fool. Thanks for the reminder....not.

Only for THAT result in the FA cup, he should have walked after it.

I was hoping we’d get Flynn at the time we ended up with Garner, so was pleased when he eventually joined. As others have mentioned he was lumbered with a piss poor squad. I can’t really remember if he went wrong tactically or said stupid stuff but I know I never disliked him.

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

Agree. And he started well and then Clem fucked him over.

I didn't hate or dislike Flynn but like Venks, I can't forgive him for the Aldershot debacle...

Exactly that mate. Cant forgive that result. If he had walked after that for me he would have saved face but to be 6-0 down after 60 mins to a non league club at home. Unforgivable.
