pongo88 Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Sam Hollis Quite right. I can remember him when he left City to run a hotel ! What sort of manager is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo88 Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Paul Buckle is an over-achiever in terms of jobs and under-achiever in terms of results. He had one good season at Torquay, but the rest is poor. I suppose the best thing about him was his time as Rovers' manager when he signed approx 15 players. This accelerated their slide to oblivion.

Chairman Mao Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 This, this and this again. Never should O'Dismal be allowed near a football team again. The same could be said for Steve Coppell although he did have some early success. Copout got Reading promoted with a record points tally and guided them to what was it? 8th the next season, also with Crystal Palace he signed Ian Wright from non league, got them to the cup final and kept them up for 4 seasons after promotion. granted he has a few relegations in their but by no means terrible.

Mike Hunt-Hertz Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 He's managed 7 clubs and achieved promotion at 3 of them, plus took another one (Rovers) to the play-offs. That's a reasonable record that compares to most managers in the league - success at some places, less so at others. Overhyped maybe, but hardly a serial failure. Fair dues, but he is one ugly bastard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dolman Pragmatist Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Gary "my way or the highway" Johnson. You're right. Over the years, Gary Johnson has had very little success as a manager. Has he ever taken a club to promotion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two decent seasons at City before getting found out. Three decent seasons at Yeovil before he ran out of ideas and then got found out. No succes at Posh or Northampton in fact was sacked from both and more recently sacked again at Yeovil. I rest my case...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rest my case...... Did well at Posh before getting the boot. I'm not Johnsons biggest fan either but he did a decent job with both City and Yeovil... seems a more short term success manager with no long term goal for the benefit of the club.

ChippenhamRed Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 What are you his stalker ? I have not followed his career as closely as you and i have already said that my description as a "serial failure" is open to argument and i respect your opinion . If 5 minutes on Wikipedia makes me his stalker then, yes, I'm his stalker. And you invited me to argue that he was not a serial failure - that's all I was doing.

The scouting network was a total joke Spot on. Jobs for the boys (literally), not forgetting his taxi driving brother. One of his main aims seemed to be making sure the forum was onside via Yessir his brother. In some ways he gave us great times and in others it was one of the biggest Mickey Mouse periods in the club's history. But still a good Manager for a lower league club looking for a short term fix.

Guest Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Peter Taylor isn't a bad shout but he has won 5 promotions including pretty much taking Hull from the bottom of L3 to a decent Championship side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CreekRed Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Not sure if anyone has mentioned him but Kevin Blackwell. Two Championship play-off finals two defeats. Also agree with most of the names posted but always for me I hope Stuart Pearce and Ian Dowie never manage City! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
