Best manager in the "Dark years"? (2 Viewers)

jto123 · Feb 5, 2012

Who was the best of the managers we sacked in the last dire decade?

Brighton Sky Blue · Feb 5, 2012

Missing: Strachan, Nilsson, McAllister, and Black.

Moe-Lask · Feb 5, 2012

Eric Black, given more time would of done wonders!! I will stick by that for ever!

Lord_Nampil · Feb 5, 2012

If Nilsson was on the list i would have voted him!

Grendel · Feb 5, 2012

Why is thorn on here? Have I missed something?

CJparker · Feb 5, 2012

Yeah, where the smeg is Black on this list?

Grendel · Feb 5, 2012

It's a list aimed at trying to get thorn at the top,

Gray · Feb 5, 2012

i would've like to see id black had extra time, would he be in the same boat as coleman, thorn etc etc....he did well while here but only was manager for 4 months (just a question)

...and it'll be interesting to see what the majority think

Grendel · Feb 5, 2012

Peter reids got my vote.

Stevec189 · Feb 5, 2012

It is two different questions really. Who was the best Manager? Well has to be Adams on finish. Who would you have given more time too = Nillson and Black without a doubt!

serious? i hope not...

Glen · Feb 5, 2012

Eric Black would have took us places and who know where we would be now at least challenging to back up yes back up as at some point he would have promoted us.

A manager that didn't even bother to turn up at the training ground?

SydneySkyBlue · Feb 5, 2012

Must be a joke but with kduffy I'm not sure.

SuperFred · Feb 5, 2012

whoever voted aidy boothroyd is one funny fucker

Yes it was a joke. I voted black purely as the football we played under him and he should have had a chance to develop the season after. Dowie and boothroyd were also sacked unfairly in my view.

Nick · Feb 5, 2012

Good job I added Black etc as it looks like Black and Nilsson are catching up!

Why is thorn on here anyway as the question is in the past tense? If he wins does that mean he gets the boot? Can I change my vote?

This poll is a fix. Everyone would vote Adrian heath given the chance.

MatthewWallis · Feb 5, 2012

Are people being serious when they say Thorn is the Beaty manager?

torchomatic · Feb 5, 2012

Not necessarily true. We will never know for sure.

CJparker · Feb 5, 2012

Voted for AT, but Coleman was only sacked on the back of one bad run (especially that 0-4 against Watford). In March 2010 City were a point outside the play-offs after the away win at P'boro - we were dreaming of the Premiership - 2 months later we had finished lower half and CC was a gonner. It's been downhill ever since.

Grendel · Feb 5, 2012

If it's been downhill ever since why vote thorn?

Gray · Feb 5, 2012

how can anyone vote for thorn? its like voting for jedward to win the x factor!

Because in spite of the team's situation i.e. owners, squad quality, bad luck etc, he has shown a lot of bottle in playing the right way. I think in the circumstances he's doing a great job.

The fans chant him name, even now - don't remember anyone singing Aidy or Coleman's names at games, never mind Dowie. That alone should tell you something.

Also I don't remember any chanting in the ground to sack the managers either. Hardly a strong case for the defense is it? Block 15 sang and thorn twice today M'lud?

Macca · Feb 5, 2012

Andy Thorn for me. He is a nice guy, has nothing to work with, no one else would come here and the players pass to each other in their own half.

Johnnythespider · Feb 5, 2012

Roland " not a hair out of place " nilsson for me, i truly think his professionalism would have payed dividends in the end. What this list proves is that we have had too many kneejerk sackings over the years.

Hmm. Sounds familiar.

You are right, perhaps the others that voted for Thorn also voted for Wagner the next year on X factor.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH
I must be in the fekking mad house.

(Apologies normal service will be resumed soon)

Bowler is that you?

Has to be Eric Black, Fast attacking football, that team he had was dreadful, managed to get the best out of them, picked up 1 or 2 players on loan, Bjarni Gudjonsson was the pick of the bunch. Sticking 4, 5 & 6's against other teams. Roland Nilsson is a close 2nd, although playing the best football, the team he had was class for this league and really should of been promoted. Would have come in the 2nd season if we'd kept him.

Saying that, I'd take Nilsson over Black, reckon with a bit of money Nilsson would achieve more.

keef · Feb 5, 2012

I'd like to have seen what EB could have achieved but to say he had an awful squad is stretching it a bit. I'd take that one over the current one anyday

]Shearer; Gudjonsson (Kerr 85); Warnock; Konjic; Davenport; Deloumeaux; Safri; McSheffrey; Barrett (Shaw 79); Doyle; Morrell.
Subs not used - Brush; Jorgensen; Whing.

Thats the line up from the day we smashed Gillingham. I would suggest its stronger than what we have now

ccfcway · Feb 5, 2012

i'm going for Black, purely due to no other competive candiates
