Worst manager of your lifetime?

[keenzy]

always a flip side?

Whos your villian???

 

[Linz]

Hahahaha... short memories should make this a one-horse race should it not?

 

[silverfox]

Martin Peters anyone??

 

[shorehamview]

Adrian Heath and Martin Peters make a certain Mr. Robson look like the greatest ever tactical genius.

 

[beightonblade]

Blackie ?
Warnock ?
Harris ?

Giz a clue..................

 

[7UpJordan]

Robson by a country mile, had he stayed we'd probably have been in the relegation zone by now.

They certainly are the inglorious triumvirate in my eyes. Satan Heath and Satan Peters were simply out of their depth in management (I don't care whether Satan Heath recued Burnley from Pig Twaddle or not). Satan Sornob, however, was brought in as 'an experienced and successful manager', when we all knew that the reality was that he was about as useful as a handbrake on a canoe.

Satan Sornob wins by a distance for me.

Peters was bad but brief. The rot was set in by then. I'll go for Haslam, tho he gave us "Bibbity Bobbity Boo" !!

 

[Linz]

By the looks of this thread, there's more candidates for bad than good

 

[Sensiblade]

Peters.
Only just remember him, but I don't want to!

Cec Coldwell coming in to the rescue for the month.
How many times did that happen he was like Mr Utd

 

[beightonblade]

Stating the obvious in my opinion Bryan Robson.

I have a lot of respect for Cec.

He was a nice bloke who I met on a number of occasions.

He'll always be a Blade for me.

 

[Devil Blade]

Dalglish.....Souness..........Robson?

 

[deenie]

Yes! Top man Cec

 

[Blades-7]

Heath or Robson :shakehead:

 

[Robbie]

Not a patch on Heath though.

Maybe Heath was before your time as a Blade though fella.

As Peters was before my time too, so couldn't comment on him.

 

[dingledog]

Robson, Heath and Peters

 

[Tinoblade]

Heath for me

Awful.

 

[Bladesman]

Robson Id say.

It has to be Robson, look at the resorces he had available and what he achieved it really is horrific!

 

[Monty's_Girl]

To me it has to be Adrian Heath, we were on the brink of relegation to what used to be called the old Division two, the attendance was low and we were in massive debt if i remember. Bryan Robson comes a close second, the reason i haven't chosen him as the worst manager is cos he's brought in some good players i.e Beattie and Cotteril and had good players to work with shame things didn't turn out.

ps. i think we should bin montgomery in the summer, not good enough!

He's not the manager!

 

[Gazza1984]

Tough choice between Robson and Heath- both shocking...

 

[dino]

Heath...for me it has to be Heath.

Thanks for taking me back to those gloomy days, I feel ill now.

 

[TonyAgana]

Although it's still strong in the memory and could therefore be tainting my opinion somewhat, I can't recall any manager devestate a team so much as Robson has.

I agree, he was terrible, and after some games I was tearing my hair out, but he did give us hope with some of the loans he brought in, I dont think we'd have got some of those loans if it wasn't for him. (it hurts to give him credit for summat).
Thats the only factor that puts him a tiny bit better..( arghh! again that hurt) than Heath.

Yeah, I weighed up Robson's positives, of which there were some, but I still think what he managed to do to Sheffield United in his short tenure was far worse than Heath because Heath didn't exactly inherit a squad who were considered favourites for promotion!

Has to be between Heath & Robson.

Differences being Robson had a fantastic chairman behind him - Heath didn't
