There’s a disturbing list for a start and that’s just in my supporting life. I may have missed a few.
You could make a case for him being the worst of the lot IMO. Yes he improved us going forward after Parkinson's reign of terror but for all of Parkinson's faults, I seriously doubt that we'd have seen losses of 4-0, 5-1 and 6-0 under his management.One of the worst managers we've ever had.
I actually think Parky was the worst of the lot.You could make a case for him being the worst of the lot IMO. Yes he improved us going forward after Parkinson's reign of terror but for all of Parkinson's faults, I seriously doubt that we'd have seen losses of 4-0, 5-1 and 6-0 under his management.
Mind you could make a case for pretty much anyone we had between Allardyce leaving and Neil arriving to be the worst manager of my lifetime.
Moyes, Grayson, Coleman, Ross, Parkinson and Johnson back-to-back.I actually think Parky was the worst of the lot.![]()
Agreed. Managing to lose 4-0 at Portsmouth, 5-1 at Rotherham and 6-0 at Bolton with that squad was disgraceful.One of the worst managers we've ever had.
That 6-0 loss ay Bolton (shudder), our starting lineup that day:You could make a case for him being the worst of the lot IMO.

ThisI see your point and some of them are really bad, but they also managed us at a much higher level. Johnson was league one, and had a squad that was basically a cheat code. Alex Neil has shown since that he’s not the messiah, yet with the squad Johnson had he made us look unbeatable.
Says a lot about how bad LJ was.
Who was it that was getting the apologies posted all over here after he won his first game for about 4 month?This was a couple of games before he got the sack
Lee Johnson
Lee Johnson good - Mowbray bad. That @Mowgli character should get a job on a football pundit panel immediatelyVery interesting.![]()
I got my praise of Johnson wrong. I gave him the praise that should have went to speakman, I didn't realise how good the squad was at the time and put most.of it down to him. Looking back it was tremendous work by Speakman to get alot of the players in L1 that we did.Lee Johnson good - Mowbray bad.

Fair enough, on the Mowbray part. I do think it was the right time, or maybe 2/3 weeks late. Or maybe even close season if a great new manager had came along. But I think he was still doing a fair job recently, treading water and ambling along, unlike chancers such as Johnson and Parkinson who were absolutely shocking.I got my praise of Johnson wrong.

Doesn't change the fact that Mowbray had ran his course.

I would never call fans on here thick. Thick and self important yes, but not just thick.Remember many a fan being called thick on here for daring to suggest he was full of shit.
He got beaten 6-0 at Bolton in League One with a squad which included Patterson, Hume, Batth, Doyle, Cirkin, Pritchard, Evans, Neil, Clarke, Roberts, Embleton, Gooch, and Stewart. Basically a team that made it to the Championship playoffs last season and is in the top six this season.
