Its a tough job being a manager. A very political job. And so no matter what you do, somebody will criticize you.

A few examples of suspected incompetence :

Lawrie Sanchez left Northern Ireland for Fulham....and filled half the squad with NI players. With catastrophic consequences.

Our own Peter Taylor explained in an interview how we play 4-5-1 when out of possession, switching to 4-3-3 when we have the ball....nice and helpful for opposition managers in the dugout.

I vaguely recall a manager in the Champions League looking puzzled when a sky interviewer mentioned that he only needed a draw in the remaining fixture.

Giovanni Trappatoni, managing the Republic of Ireland, deciding to exclude every player who ever upset him....leading to an almost empty dressing room.

other examples of incompetence please....
- drunken parties,
- Wives & girlfriends rocking the boat,
- overpaying for underperforming talent, (Mesut Ozil)

- sacking brilliant players ,
- players bickering over girlfriends (john Terry )
- recruiting a ton of players from the same nationality with big international duties during the Prem season,

- signing broken or overage players...michael Owen
- allowing good players to go to a bigger club for free
- Brendan Rogers Liverpool continuing to attack us while 3 goals up...and we nailed him,

- Bullying players and causing an insurrection (Roy Keane)
- Dissing underperforming players on national telly (Pardew)
- fielding a tired squad through lack of rotation

- sloppy Paperwork (the Tevez affair )

- Managers getting the reputation that no players wish to sign for them...
- constantly falling victim to an injury crisis
- allowing a great squad to go stale over time (Barcelona)

- failing to manage Referees correctly..Arsenal
- Unacceptable opinions about disabled people..Glenn Hoddle.
- being predictable
- Scandals in your private life...Ryan Giggs ( allegedly doing MMA with a girlfriend, a couple of years after the 'sister in law' scandal )

what other examples or opinions please ?

the scots guy that managed us (ex Ipswich?) and by reputation had a massive drink problem.
worse than useless.

He'd performed very well with Ipswich and no one else would touch us at the time.

All recent West Ham managers can't be bothered to scout their own targets and just go after ours. They spend loads on players before realising their best player is Antonio (who I wouldn't rule out coming to us).
Gus Poyet at Brighton, just because I don't like him or them.
Graham Potter at the same for flattering to deceive whilst getting relegated.
Every Man U manager since Ferguson - you just can't win.
Every Liverpool manager before they told Dalglish to get lost - you just can't win.
Wenger for being crap for the last ten years but never leaving.
Mourinho for his constant moaning - Spurs will tail off.
The worst England manager - will leave that to you all but I'm thinking Iceland.
Cookie Coleman - just crap.
Sam Allardyce asking for a couple of mil.
Harry Redknapp getting a couple of mil but his dog keeps it.

Jose ManUre-Ho seems to be made of teflon.

hundreds of mini scandals and yet he continues to get big jobs at big clubs. Even though he never maintains high standards for more than a season or two.
