we've had this b4, the answer is Peter Taylor, simples.

Agreed. Holloway at least had charisma and i’ll always respect him for admitting he wasn’t the right man for the job anymore and walking away when he did rather than keep taking the pay check at the clubs expense. Results have been much worse under other managers and he’s not a contender in my book. Peter Taylor for me if Mullery out of the equation. Venables should have stayed in Spain rather than ransacking the coffers as well.

De Boer has to be up there. Arguably he wasn't given enough time to develop in to the fully fledged clueless f*ckwit he clearly was, but I would argue the shortness of his stint makes his deccimation of the team even more impressive. He managed to alienate half the side, play the team in probably the least effective formation anyone could've imagined, all while seeming to not give one f*ck, and he did all that in 4 goalless games! It took Taylor two years to reach that level of sh*t!

If punk ever happened I'd be preaching the law, instead of listenin to Lydon lecture BBC4

I think Roy H is the only person in the UK who would put up with us.

A manager knows that he no matter what plans he has, he has to be lucky.

Taylor and Francis were much of a muchness. Francis probably wins it though as he took a team at the top, playing some lovely stuff under Bruce and spun it in it’s head immediately having us playing complete and utter s***e.

True. You don't have much of a chance when your best player and talisman is injured in your first game in charge and your expensive striker misses open goals or your midfielder gifts the opposition goals with suicidal back passes
