Steven Gerard.

+1 for Gerrard, and Lampard for that matter.

Re: The World's Most Miserable Managers

Dave Jones is one of the world's most miserable people, never mind limited to football managers. Absolute dour sod. Listening to any of his interviews when he was in charge here was nothing short of painful.

I'm surprised no-one's mentioned Steve Morison yet- whilst not traditionally miserable like DJ, he's certainly got a gigantic chip on his shoulder about something- it's almost like he's got short man syndrome despite being 6 foot 2.

Re: The World's Most Miserable Managers

Jones thought he was too big for Cardiff City

He was a dour scouse git

And yet he stayed for 6 years? I very much doubt that he did.

Maybe, just MAYBE he didn't have too much time for the media over the way that previous allegations against him were handled.

Just a thought......and far more likely than him 'being too big' for the club :facepalm:

Turned down the chance to join West Brom when his stock was high with us as well didn't he?

Well the media down here had nothing to do with the media who treated him so badly previously

He was miserable and he made no connection with the fans

In the end he was a failure

And a miserable one

I would find it difficult to walk in dave Jones shoes considering the horrendous things he was wrongly accused of and the fact that his dad died whilst in he was still under investigation which must have been awful for him and his dad

On a more general note I am not sure I care about the personality of ccfc managers as I'm more interested in results on the pitch and the way we play so they can be grumpy or turn up in a clowns costume as long as they don't play 5 centre backs 👍

Dave Jones was allowed to spend a great deal on wages and he threw quite a bit straight down the bog

If he had a side that was streaking away with the title then I am sure a lot of fans would have been more forgiving . I personally reckon he was here for 2 seasons too long , not including the FACup final run

He was treated extremely badly by the justice system and by the press but we were not there to be scorned

First two seasons were good but then he became very stubborn and miserable

I very much doubt that he bothered to discern between the media in different part of the country. And you cannot blame him.

Strangely, his time at the club gave me some very joyous moments (play off final, FA Cup final, and very attractive football) so whereas he ultimately failed to get us promoted in some fairly pathetic circumstances, I don’t associate him and his teams with misery in the slightest.

We could do with a Chopra, Bothroyd, Ross McCormack, McPhail, Burke, Ledley, Roger Johnson, McNaughton now……..

Re: The most boring managers.

I'll begin with Eddie Howe.

I can’t believe anyone actually watches those interviews! They never say anything of note anyway…… :-/

The Play Off Finall was horrendous. Probably the worst football experience ive had in football. Joyous feckin hell.

We could definitely do with Chopra Bothroyd and McCormack though or just one of them.

Not Kelvin Etuhu who Jones preferred to McCormack in that play off disaster.

Or a goalscoring midfielder like Whitts would be brilliant.

Well the defeat was hard to take but let’s not forget that we went there full of confidence, took the lead twice, gave them a good game and lost Bothroyd. So we weren’t exactly battered.
