As much as I think Holloway is a bull shitting all smoke and mirrors male masturbator there is no one to touch Coco Slade.
Absolutely fookin hopeless, the worst manager in my 50 years supposing Town


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

Bignot’s last game, Blackpool away was such a great weekend that I forgive his madness and it pales compared to his successors ineptitude.  Jolley kept us up, most in here still had more faith in runaway than Slade a couple of weeks back.
Happy New Year to everyone and thanks for keeping me entertained with all your views this year

Slade has to be up there for bringing in Nathan Clarke whilst releasing Shaun Pearson

Clarke was involved in the worst goal ever conceded where we had a free kick on the halfway line and he passed back to Mac with no pace and the forward nipped it

Woho panic buy Dixon has to be the worst panic buy ever, basically any left back who would have rocked up that week would have got a contract. Sladeball was dog shite bad.

The worst part of it all is that Slade also had Andrew Fox on trial that summer.

Really tough decision, which shows haw terrible the recruitment has been.

I would rule out Big nuts as he did sign some decent players, albeit rather too many midfielders. He wasn't really given long to implement his plans. So who knows, maybe it might have worked out. I somehow doubt it, but yopu never know.

I rule out Jolley because he kept us up with largely the same squad that Slade built and which got us into the mess in the first place.  I thought we might kick on in his first full season, but sadly he couldn't keep the early momentum going.

Regarding Slade, he created a pretty dire side, but let's not forget that we were on the fringes of the play off zone  before he offloaded three of our best players, including our top scorer, in the January window. That contributed to our plummet. But as those players were supposedly high earners I have a snaking suspicion that his hand was forced in that regard by the board.  Could be wrong, but I there is enough doubt there for me to rule him out too.

So that leaves Hollow words. We currently have the worst squad in the country thanks to his signings. Most of our best players were already here when he arrived; Wright, Hendrie, Pollock, Waterfall, Hewitt, Clifton. Hanson too if fit.  So it's only really Moralis that stands out as a positive.  

So he gets my vote.

Sam Kelly is probably the worst player I've witnessed at BP since Tommy Forecast. No idea how he got so many games at Port Vale because he didn't look like he wanted to be involved in the game at all. Didn't look like he wanted the ball and got rid of it as soon as possible, avoided making tackles. tried to vanish from the game and so on. Was obvious from his first appearance that he wasn't capable of being a professional footballer.
