Worst manager between the two PH spells?

Quoted from MarinerWY

Between Slade and Holloway for me, with mitigation for Jolley and Bignot solely on the fact they were new(ish) managers - which can't be said for the seasoned Slade and Holloway.

Most drunk off with Holloway cos of all the bullshit he fed us.

Jolley achieved something for the club: he saved us from what seemed like certain relegation.

The rest...took us nowhere/downhill. (Bignot I couldn't understand.)

Slade would get my vote, but what's the point of a poll that looks back, negatively?
I'm looking forward and positively*.






*Probably should know better at my age lol.

Slade

Quoted from RonMariner

I was watching us getting thumped at Cambridge just before Jolley joined and was bemoaning the ineptitude of the players and saying it couldn't possibly get any worse. Tony Butcher turned to me and said, 'Oh yes it can. Wait till Kelly comes on.'

I didn't believe it was possible for anyone with two legs to be worse than those already on show, But then Kelly came on and did indeed manage to prove me wrong. He was breathtakingly awful. Too poor even to get into our current squad. And that is saying something

Yeah your right he wouldn't even get into this team! What makes it worse is slade had had him at his previous club and so had had the opportunity to view him extensively! Makes it all the more dumbfounding he actually signed him up for us.

Slade just reeked of past it and past caring. "Ok recruitment work needs doing... Oh that Hooper lad isn't very good, maybe he'll be better a division below. Oh whilst im at it that Kelly lad is complete dogshite, maybe he'll be better a division below too. I'll get them both. Now, that's saved me enough time to get to the bookies before the 3.15 at Newmarket"

It has to be Slade for me. He inherited a squad with the potential to progress from Bignot and, whatever the financial instructions he may have had from on high, wrecked it. Had he stayed in charge, there is no doubt we would have been relegated that season.

All the other three, in my mind, have more mitigation than Slade in this discussion. Even Holloway, for all that his true colours may have been revealed of late, could argue that he didn't have a proper opportunity to build the kind of team he wanted because of Covid.

I mean its not even difficult, Slade every time.

I find it difficult to choose on football grounds. Whilst it could be argued Jolley for example was better than Slade, now we know that all suffered with bad budgets, it’s difficult to be fair. So purely on non-football grounds, for me it’s a toss-up between Slade and Runaway. Slade for his ambushing of Dean at the fans forum, and Holloway for his bullshitting/lies and the suspicion that he was involved with the fraudster. On moral grounds it’s Holloway by a length.

Slade for me
I thought he was unfairly criticised for style of play first time round and might be a steadying hand after the Bignot turmoil.
Oh dear, but looking on the bright side this poll might be his first chance of winning something

Slade, never got to like him first time round, tried to get behind him second time.

My thought was Runaway would walk off with this, and you're giving it to Slide instead! Guess I am not in this game then!

See what you did there!
