:lolol:
A League One version of this would probably have similar results, with Steve Evans taking it by a landslide, and Karl Robinson/Graham Westley playing the sort of Adkins/Redknapp "best of the rest" vote.
Billy Davies currently has 41% of the total vote. Which, considering we've yet to have any direct conflict with him (compared to, say, Nigel Adkins), and bearing in mind that his media presence is far less than someone like Redknapp, seems to me to be a quite spectacular reflection of what an...
Don't think we'll catch them but it would be funny if we did.
They blew the play offs at home on the last game last season (to Leicester, in the final minute I think?) so making it two seasons in a row would be worth twice the admission price to see his face.
Personal opinion, but every time I've ever seen us play his teams, and I include Bournemouth this season, they've displayed a depressing level of cynicism and gamesmanship (time wasting from about ten minutes in, FFS), and it's horrible to watch. Was the same with Burnley, and came as a total...
It is funny how Davies has never really come into conflict with us at the Albion (so far: give it till the next time we beat them), and yet he's in the lead by an absolute mile purely as a result of his sheer, Steve Evans-esque obnoxiousness.
Imagine how detested he'll be if he ever slates us...
Do you think he sits in front of the mirror at home on his days off, delicately applying the make up? Followed by a big bouffant wig and a large sequinned frock? :D
I'm thinking Priscilla, Queen of the New York Stadium? :D
Textbook anti-Evans bile :lolol:
That said, I'm not sure even his harshest critics would say he's shit as a manager, would they? Got Boston into the Football League, albeit he ended up with a criminal conviction along the way, did the same with Crawley, and then into League One, got Rotherham...
Glad it's not just me- whenever I see him on TV, I find myself wondering if he's wearing eye liner. Which seems a strange thing for a bloke to do, at least in a football manager environment, but there is definitely something going on there.
I've just googled "Steve Evans eyeliner" and there are...
Blackpool: can't argue with that.
I still feel that Palace got promoted last season in spite of Holloway, not because of him. They were on a right run under Freedman until he upped sticks. Their form under Holloway was mid table at best, and arguably worse for much of it. Murray's goals dried...
That really is an extremely convincing argument. The media seem to lap up his Mr Wacky routine, whereas I tend to think of him as like the office idiot who thinks he's the epitome of cutting edge of wit, and who tries to convey this visually by wearing a Garfield tie to work ("Hey, look...
Well I thought I'd give people a decent list of options. And aside from the obvious candidates already discussed, I find Clark quite irritating on TV, with his permanent hangdog expression and miserable post-match interviews about "me lads". He makes me want to give him a slap & tell him to...
It IS tough, isn't it? That's EXACTLY what I was thinking when I was composing the list of most likely candidates.
I did think of calling it "Which Championship manager would you most like to punch?" but I feared someone might complain that I was advocating violence (but it would be Davies if...
Well? The Adkins-Redknapp theme popping up on the Reading/QPR thread made me curious.
Which Championship manager most makes you want to punch the TV when he appears?
-Smug-faced Adkins
-The professional saggy-faced Cockney & tax-exempt bulldog fancier
-the greasy-haired Palace-deserter
-Lee...
