Malky Mackay. If it wasn't for the £15m Tan gave him he'd have never taken us up. What did he do with Watford?

Malky may be overrated but he did inherit about 10 players in his first season, made a lot of free transfers and that season resulted in playoffs (push for second until cup final) and a cup final that we should have won. Also the 15 million spent doesn't guarantee promotion, he still had to do the job. I remember being bad under osman and neal but too young to really give a decent opinion. I thought cork wasn't great

Phil Neal???? :shock:

Hardly the worst (my opinion, of course) as his biggest crime was 'jumping ship' rather than being a poor manager!

Worst manager for me has to be Russell Osman, although Kenny Hobbit and Terry Yorath were very poor too! ;)

Malky got us to a play off and league cup final with little backing. To put him in the same mould as Ole is unfair.

Two consecutive relegations, so obviously Durban.
We had this thread a month ago.
Phil Neal?? mmmm worst...not so sure on that.
