Managers you are glad we have never had at City

Garry Thompson.

Similar to Stuart Pearce / Roy Keane in being all fire, aggression and passion whilst being utterly inept as a manager.

Had his short managerial career not started and effectively ended at Rovers then I would have been blissfully unaware of him.

I recall a fanzine parody of his usual after match rant at the time which something like this:

 

That's what I want to see, the guys fought for everything, they had pride, passion they made me proud out there today.

What do you mean "we lost"?

Feel free to talk to my mate who's a Sunderland fan about his opinion of him, or my mate who's a Blackburn fan who couldn't wait to see the back of him. 

 

Then there's that fact that no matter who he manages when we play them and I watch his sides have lost every single time. 

Blackburn fans live in 1995. Poorly supported club at this level and Mowbray had them shooting way above their level with a young squad.

One of the greatest coaches this country ever produced, probably should have stayed in that role but his ego wouldn't let him be a back room boy. His side's played stunningly good football at times.

He may have been a good coach but the question was manager and my flakey memory of him in that role was just the occasional good season, loads of clubs he never seemed to stay long at and the main, slightly tongue in cheek, reason was to pick one of the many shambolic ex Gas managers.

That Cambridge side of his made the old Wimbledon team of the 90s look like Barcelona.

Didn't he get their groundsman to leave the grass lingerie in the last 15-20 yards to the goallines so they could hit long balls that would hold up fir their forwards to chase down?

GJ might have been involved in this!
