Our Worst Manager Ever

Mitten

 

Shut it, Grandad.

 

I was too young at the time to understand the wider context (as opposed to just too stupid like now) so only ever saw the results of his management without seeing the background to it

 

Is that any way to treat a visitor.

Besides, the first relegation still hurts the most.

 

I’d agree, the club went to **** once he came in bar the odd good season.....he spunked money on some ****e didn’t he!!! Luque, Boumsong, Owen.....

 

evening m8.

 

And got rid of two of robsons best signings Robert and Bellamy.

 

Good evening....

 

I agree, Bruce has to top it.

I must emphasise, consistently, he's utterly hopeless at his job and a rancid human to boot. There's no worse combination

 

Sounness by an absolute country mile.

He inherited the best team/squad we've had in the past 20 years and immediately set about dismantling it for no real gain - how much did we get for the combined talents that Robson left behind? Barely anything, they were flogged off for the sake of flogging and replaced with more expensive and less talented players, it was like active sabotage, Sounness was given good money and got rid of a crop of great young players to replace them with bang average performers. It was an admission that developing youth was just a bit beyond him whilst acting under the guise of being the hard man.

It would be like someone going into Chelsea now and selling off the likes of Mount, Chillwell, Hudson-Adoi, Pulisic, etc and replacing them with half our players whilst also paying out a chunk in fees and upping the wages.

 

You can see, looking back, why clubs no longer allow managers to sign the players.
