Too young for Mullery, who is the obvious answer.

Disliked ever shouldn't have anything to do with their success, which is why Dowie, Pulis and Venables would probably top my list.

For Dowie to leave us in the way he did really irritates and the look on Murray and Dowie's faces when Jordan issued the writ at the press conference still makes me smile.

Pulis based again upon the way he left.

I can see why Warnock would make it on some lists but I've met him more than once and he always come across as really likeable and speaks with what seems to be genuine affection for the club. I can't possibly dislike him.

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

Not Pardew, he balls it up but not the worst that honour falls to Taylor. His leadership was the only time I've considered not getting a season ticket, the boredom levels were through the roof.

Dowie behaved like a total prick and I still get annoyed when I see him on Soccer Saturday.

Dougie the one I was most disappointed in. Will never dislike him because of his heroics as a player but I felt really let down when he went.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold...

I'm of the same thinking, his actions were nothing to do with football, he was a thief who brought the club to the edge of extinction and bankrupted an owner.

1. Neil Warnock - particularly 2nd stint when he seemed clueless
2. Malcolm Alison - Two relegations to 3rd division football
3. Alan Mullery
