Septic Peg Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Seems to me only two candidates, possibly 3. 1. Benny Lennartson 2. Tony 'Tiny Penis' Pulis 3. Lee Johnson 4. Other (please specify in a post) FWIW, it has to be Pulis for the most boring football ever, being a complete see you next Tuesday and all his 'off field' activities such as flogging Akinbiyi for personal gain. The bloke is a stain on our history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Army 75 Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Got to be Johnson. Regardless what I think about pulis and osman . Johnson as a person seems likeable. As a manager he's a ******* clown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only put Benny in because the results under him were woeful. The bloke himself is a nice chap and he really tried his best with what John Ward left behind after he threw his toys out the pram.

Sixtyseconds Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Take a look at how many City fans were watching City when Osman started. Then take a look at how many were left when he was sacked. Then if you know anybody who still went to the away games and went to Pompey on that Saturday to watch City. Ask them how many stayed in the ground till half time to watch Osman defensive machine ground out its 0-0. The Police escorted over half the away support into a nearby pub during a game !!! Lee Johnson has some way to go to beat that. Worst is a notion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midlands Robin Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 I have a bit of sympathy for Osman. The board at the time were in turmoil. This was the era of the 'reform group' and 'European football in 5 years' (ooh er where have we heard that before?). The same board that got caught fiddling the books with the FA grant to build the Atyeo stand. Osman had virtually no cash to play with over the summer of 94 and if you look at how many young (and rubbish) players we fielded at the time we were always on a hiding to nothing. Joe Jordan had almost 3/4 of a season to keep us up with that squad and didn't even come close. Life under Osman wasn't great but it wasn't all his fault and besides, we will always have Anfield.

Mr Popodopolous Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 It's a hard one- I think SOD should be on the list though, took us to depths not seen since our collapse down the Leagues in the early 80s. Never thought I would see a time when a Bristol City team would take until the end of October to win a League game- in the third Tier!! Of that list though- Pulis though probably in my time, he was just a terrible fit, terrible football, a string of dismal draws...selling anyone with a bit of flair, bringing in journeymen past their best.

Sixtyseconds Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 No sympathy for Osman. Played Junior Bent as a target man. 5-4-I big heave up to Junior. Only Junior crossed the half way line/ You could fIll Blagdon full of cider, drink the lot and still not think that was good idea. It was 0-0 mind so Oz was please.

GodEmperor Palpatine Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Steve Coppell... Messed the club about for a few months, signed some utter garbage... then walked away after 2 games.

New Dazzler Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 SOD was a total disaster from start to finish. He got us relegated without a whimper and would have got us relegated to League 2 if he had stayed. However bad LJ has been for the last 4 and a half months, he prevented a relegation last season and did well for 2 and a half months this season. Osman also kept us up 1 season, and what we would give for a manager who could grind out a result these days! So its a SOD from me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC_Dan Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 I think this highlights the recency effect as much as anything. Although some were against LJ from the start, he delivered good performances and results from January to October last year. It's only recently that things went downhill. Benny was a nice man who inherited an awful squad in a league he didn't know. That's not his fault, though the results were definitely poor. Pulis is dishonest, plays awful football, bought terrible, expensive, players and generally sowed division around the place. He might be the best manager of the three in terms of results elsewhere but he was a disaster for City. However, had the option been there, I would probably have voted for Coppell. His unwillingness to take the job seriously showed utter contempt for the club and its supporters. Johnson may be struggling but he's putting the hours in. Coppell was a Tony Dinning of a manager: he just couldn't be bothered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree Benny was ace, he was just very very unlucky, and we were playing nice football ahhh the diamond. Where the hell is Mc'Winless? At least with LJ/MA the signings have been OK I cant forgive Del for Foster! At least if we get rid of LJ we still have an half decent squad that someone might be able to get to perform to its potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gert Mare Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 There is no contest. The record speaks for itself. Even worse than 1981 when we were on the verge of bankruptcy and we still picked up points more frequently than under LJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst City manager by a distance I've attended football matches for 45 years. The only time I've ever fallen asleep at a match was during SOD's time here. The football was as tedious as the didactic football theories he delivered in a grating monotone. Add to the fact, he thought he could walk on water and you have by a country mile the worst period of my City supporting life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reddrive Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 For me it must be Pulis. Terrible football to watch. Season ticket holder for many seasons, but stopped going after a few games of his type of 'football'. Closely followed by S' OD ( I don't look at league tables).
