I heard today that Ole has had 400 million to spend at united. I wondered for a minute where we would be if Tan had given him that much….

I liked trollope, he was at least trying to play some decent football, and was pretty unlucky with injuries in key positions for the formation we were playing. Our results under him were terrible though.

Re: Worst City manager?

Trollope would have been a good manager if we had the players.

Mike Mccarthy has done it including managing the Republic of Ireland. But he is not replicating his previous success with us.

Re: Worst City manager?

Has to be Durban, although we had a head coach/manager called Graham Wiliams in the early 80's who was just as bad. Honourable mentions for Phil Neal and Russell Osman.

I remember being at an away game and one of the lads kept on chanting Corky out. Next morning i phoned him up to tell him the news he was longing for,Corky sacked. He was over the moon.

Statistically, Cork is one of our more successful managers.
Durban was lied to about what was available at the club - he walked into a disaster.
If you're talking worst ever manager, then it has to be that arse Terry Yorath - no-one else even comes close.

Yeah Neal and Osman were my go-to answers. Hibbitt has to be considered for the pitch narrowing thing.

One area where Swansea have absolutely battered us in the last decade or so is managers. They had a few really good ones and very few bad ones.

Managers who took our team forward since we got out of the bottom two divisions were LL, Dave Jones and malky. Warnock worked a miracle which he quickly undid. MM started well but it was all honeymoon ahead of a terrible marriage. The rest are too mediocre to even name.
