Which managers have United fans chanted to be sacked?

[1973Blade]

I think it's time Heckingbottom went, but I couldn't being myself to join I the chants today. He deserves credit for last season and I hope that when he returns to Bramall Lane in future he will be remembered primarily for that achievement.
I don't think I've heard United fans calling for a manager's head during a game since Nigel Adkins in 2016 (deservedly). I also remember fans chanting against Danny Wilson, David Weir, Adrian Heath and Dave Bassett (again he had past his sell by date but ai couldn't bring myself to join in). Neil Warnock was a rare example of a manager who survived the fans chant (after Millwall at home in 2005, we were promoted the following season). I fear if Heckingbottom is still there on Wednesday we could see a return to the carpark protests we saw during the Porterfield and McEwan eras.

In my time….probably Bryan Robson.

Porterfield out

I remember singing 'Teddy Davison get out of our club', after a 9-2 drubbing at Arsenal on 1932, on Christmas fucking Eve of all days.
Ruined my Christmas that bastard

Haslam out

 

[Greenwich Blade]

Haslam out

The thing is, I don't remember us chanting "Peters out" as our season really did peter out. He did an admirable job of finishing off what Happy Harry had started.

True, although I remember the sap rising a little during the Millwall game where we went 2-0 up and then lost 3-2.

That was early in the 1st Haslam season when a win would have taken us 4 points clear.

Let's face it, in that period of our history, performances as bad as today and last weekend were ten-a-penny, so it's never easy remembering them all and their correct dates. Unless your name is Silent Blade of course.

Mike Gray!!! Not a Blades manager, my manager back when I was working in Sheffield and he was a bit of a twat, so I used to walk round the office chanting about him.

My first Tesco manager was a proper nob; Newcastle fan as well. I didn't chant him out, though; I just stuck pins in an effigy of the twat.

Had a part time job stacking shelves at Fine Fare in my teens, manager was called Greasy Bill, can't remember his real name, he was a reyt nasty sod.

A few of us made up a song about him to the tune of "That's Matrimony" by Gilbert O'Sullivan. "I've no wish to hurry you but have you seen the time, it's quarter to six we're supposed to go at half five, half an hour for the pet foods, don't forget the Trill, who could it be, it's big Greasy Bill"

 

[Silent Blade]

0-2 in February 1979



0-1 in October 1979

Haslam was our manager both times. the 2-3 defeat under Peters was March 1981

 

[blade too long]

if the people in here calling for Hecks P45 if they had social media in the 60s onwards Id say every one of them

 

[Aganarama]

Remember Derby at home towards the end of the Bassett era. Toxic, with a schism on the Kop. Sad.

 

[S64 Blade]

Remember chants of Warnock out quite regularly in the 2004/05 season.

 

[Paisley Blade]

When Fulham fans turned on their manager Alan Dicks it led to an amusing version.

 

[Bladesthorpe]

Adrian Heath and Billy MaCewan. Spring to mind.

 

[CarlMcBlade]

Porterfield out

At the time, I thought that was his full hyphenated surname.

 

[CarlMcBlade]

I would much prefer us to move on from Hecky, without totally shitting on his achievements…But that’s gonna be very difficult amongst this total and utter humiliation…He is currently ruining his own legacy…Shame really

 

[Lightsoot]

There were a smattering of ‘Bassett out’ chants on the Kop when we went 2-0 down to Leeds in the season we got relegated from the Prem.

 

[s20Blade]

I can remember the Warnock out chants vividly after the Milwall game.

I think that that was the first league match my dad took me to.

Looking back at it now I am surprised I ever went again

 

[Bell4]

I sang Harris out when we lost for the first time as a newly promoted team back in 71/2 .

I always give the manager time

Warnock had his share at times. I remember a fair few during the awful 2004/05 season. Bryan Robson definitely got loads. I think his table was more popular with the fans, and more competent than him.

Was that the table for his bottle of 'water'?
