Possibly. It's difficult to say because most of our managers since Warnock have been ones many would expect to fail. I wasn't surprised when Robson, Blackwell, Speed, Wilson and Weir failed (for different reasons) but a little shocked at how poor Adams was. Similarly, I thought Clough would do a bit better; I didn't expect to finish as far from the top two as we did.
I thought Adkins may have a few problems taking over a side that someone else had just recruited but, again, I expected him to do a little better.

Whilst we could discuss whether some of them should be in my second list and not the first, or vice versa, what is undeniable is that none of them achieved their objectives. All have 'failed'.

The longer this goes on, the longer one wonders if there is something fundamentally wrong with the club.

It's the "Tevez Curse".
