Hampshire Red Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 Its around 40 years since (Sir) Alan Dicks departed and we've had about 20 managers since then. Of these who are the best and worst? Clearly most success at this level has been the last season or two and so Lee Johnson is likely to be the clear winner but interesting to see other candidates; Cotts perhaps as we were brilliant in that lower league, Danny WIlson because of his entertaining style of play ..anyone else? And worst? Pulis, McInnes, just to name a couple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could argue for example that Pulis has proved to be a good Manager, even though his team here were virtually unwatchable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledAjax Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 Roy Hodgson is surely the most successful man to have managed us? Have we had anyone else who has gone on to coach a top national side (relative to the world England are a top national side). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think I have ever had faith in a Manager for such a sustained period. He created something different here for at least two seasons, LJ got close to it around the period up to the Man City games, and it would be great if he could get anywhere near that again.

Antman Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 cooper / Jordan - Best Osman / Pulis - worst (Osman actually wins that for the dire way we played, the utter dross he filled the squad with and the cynical way he went about becoming manager, like a great coiffured cuckoo !)

Midlands Robin Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 Danny Wilson was an enigma. 47 percent win ratio. Built a decent squad and played some great football but achieved nothing in terms of promotion. Best manager since I started watching in 1992 would be Cotts. Picked up a side on its ass and in short order, turned it into a team that scored 99 points and brought home our first divisional title since the 50s. Worst manager. O'Dismal without question. Osman wasn't great but we won at Liverpool and he had a handful of kids as signings in his last year. Pulis played dull as shit football but didn't really do anything too damaging.

I think it is all comps as well rather than league only. All comps tends to inflate the win% as if you win two cup games and then lose that's 2 in the win column and one in the loss column. 4 minutes ago, Port Said Red said: LJ got close to it around the period up to the Man City games Halcyon days. Then I got my Wolves supporting mate round to watch that game at the end of 2017...and it's never really been the same since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 The best - Terry Cooper. We could well not even have a club if it wasn`t for him. The worst - Pulis.

winsaw Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 In my time watching ,Best for me Cotts he got a connection between the fans and team like I have never known we where all one in the special double winning season, will never forget that, Garry Johnson a close 2nd, that first season in the championship where we almost went up was amazing just ashame it fell apart afterwards, Worst has to be Pulis the worst football I have ever seen, followed by Millan so far out of his depth, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
