Sergeant Tibbs Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 8 hours ago, A12owl said: You are twisting words Sgt tibbs. All I was suggesting was that Wilson wasn't experienced enough to handle the foreign "fancy dans" he was brought in to manage. He did come from managing Barnsley didn't he? Not at all, this thread is about our worst manager. In his first season he did well and was then hamstrung by Richards. Di Canio had his own agenda. In a club like ours he was poison. But it's all about opinions isn't it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brucey owl Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Danny Wilson worst for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReluctantNicko Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Aah yes....the good old days of Bob the Bilde and Gerald Syphon. Rip-off merchants. Who signed them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good first and second year then all goes boobies up. No, nothing like Carlos. Danny was unsupported by his chairman and wasn't afraid to criticise his players. Poles apart.

alanharper Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Well it's clear that the winning percentage isn't the most scientific way to rank how good a manager is - unless Alan Irvine actually really was "better" than Jack Charlton, Ron Atkinson, Eric Taylor...

He isn't even in the top 20 worst managers we've had. Remind me where Pleat took us to in the Premier League? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't actually recollect what he achieved with us. Seriously don't know. You've missed the point, and I'm too bored with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrance Your Wrath Any worse? league cup semi under yorath I know he was pretty poor but nobody worse than chris turner for me (post premier league anyway) we got relegated under him, biggest budget in league 1 the next season we finished 3 points above relegation zone, we gave him another chance to build a squad but again we were in bottom half before sturrock come in & took us up turner used to say 'if you want to know how colin & I want Sheffield wednesday to play then go & watch Hartlepool Utd...' errrmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bulgaria Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Peter Useless for me. Shocking, just shocking. Think he even took the captaincy of Sterland. Not sure if my memory serves me correct but i think Imre Varadi called up praise and Grumble ( might have been called something else back then) to complain about his management tactics!!

IIRC I think it was the big story at the time that Imre Varidis wife have told her husband in no uncertain terms to go back into the managers office after the match and tell Eustace how unhappy he was. His man management skills were none existent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adelphi1867 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 (edited) Danny Williams. Turned down Dave Watson as not worth £100k and spent £60k on Steve Downs.1970. Peter Eustace, Mr Mogadon man, put his players to sleep at half time. Ron Atkinson, he did the dirty on us. Kick-a-ball, never liked him, even from the off, he is the poor mans Arsene Wenger, we concede goals so buy more attacking players.

Thankfully Sturrock knew how to turn the decent players Turner bought into a decent team. Turner was the anti Carlos. If we couldn't beat them in the first twenty minutes we were stuffed.
