Your top three likeable managers over the last fifty years?

I was joking.

I know :-) - I was just taking the bait lol

Sam Ellis is far and away the biggest **** - ever to be in a Management team at City.

The two who were closest to the fans, in terms of loving every win, kicking every ball, and feeling despair at every setback:
Kevin Keegan and Roberto Mancini.

Brian Horton was a terribly nice man - possibly too nice to be a manager.

My Dad met Joe Mercer a few times and said he was lovely - a real gentleman.

Pep obviously cares a lot about his players / the people at the club / is a man of his word - but maybe with a ruthless streak when required ?

I loved the way Mancini always pointedly referred to Sir Alex as Mister Ferguson. I'm sure it was deliberate, just to rile him.

Brian Horton was OK - but.......he was in that Luton team that sent us down in 83 (IIRC).

1. Tony Book a real City legend. No one can get anywhere near to his 50 years plus loyalty to City
2. Joe Mercer for the history of the 60s and 70s
3. Mancini for allowing us to believe again

Hard to leave Pep out but he can make his own claim over the next few years.

 

[hello]

Coppell, Pearce, Alan Ball
