[Football] Worst managerial change in history

[DJ NOBO]

Can anyone top Leicester City and Ruud? Or even get close?

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

Rooney at Brum?

 

[A1X]

Shearer at Newcastle?

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Clough to Leeds?

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Hinsh at Withdean?

 

[Slum_Wolf]

Zola at Birmingham

 

[wolfie]

Brum again. JF Zola replacing Rowett just before we won there.

 

[Han Solo]

Blackburn replacing Sam Allardyce with Steve Kean. I've talked with a player he had at the time and for me there's no doubt the PL has never had a worse manager.

 

[Crispy Ambulance]

Dave Hockaday at Dirty

 

[jackalbion]

Russell Martin for Ivan Juric?

 

[Titanic]

Sami Hyppia.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Clough to Brighton

The second comings of Mullery and Adams to Brighton

Martin Hinchlewood at Brighton

Hyppia to Brighton

The list goes on.

I think that examples such as Clough at Leeds or Hinshelwood at the Albion shouldn't really count as there had to be a managerial change. What is really bad is when a change isn't really necessary, eg Horseface at Leicester. And what's really, really bad is when a manager is doing well and then replaced, eg Zola and Rooney at Birmingham. I think to replace a manager who's performing well with an absolute duffer is an appalling misjudgment, but to do it twice is mind boggling,

Great! That's guaranteed them going home from the Amex with something next weekend.

When cooper left Leicester they were 16th with 10pts from 12 games but hadn't won in 5 games where they conceded 14 goals

Since then ruud horsey face has 7 points from 18 games with 4 of them in his 1st two ( so 3 points from 16).

It's awful but I do think the rooney and zola to brum ones were worse as they were a better team before the switch whereas Leicester were already in free fall albeit I still reckoned cooper would have kept them up.

Yep, so nice of us to hand Rashford his first PL goal for Villa.

 

[AK74]

Les Reed at Charlton Athletic. 6 weeks, IIRC.

 

[Weststander]

Allardyce to The Three Lions.

 

[The Lemming Stomper]

Alan Mullery for Chris Cattlin...

Hadn't lived in Brighton long with no strong bond to the club but was so outraged went on a march

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Jeff Wood at The Albion.
