Keegan - Mills. Would have been McManaman, but he had the decency to fuck off after two years. Mills spent years bleeding the club dry, while also criticising us on the radio. What a ****.
Pearce - Corradi. More interesting with celebrating other people's goals than scoring himself. Slow, crap, uninterested. Honourable mentions for Dabo, Trabelsi, Samaras & Dickov too. Christ, this was a miserable time.
Sven - Bianchi. Tough one, because he just didn't settle, but wasn't a terrible player by any means. Sven signed a lot of very good players in a short space of time.
Hughes - Bridge. Again, would have been RSC, but he had the decency to be injured for most of his stay. Bridge was crap. Slow. Lost all his talent sitting on Chelsea's bench for years. And again just ran down his contract rather than go have a career somewhere else.
Mancini - Rodwell. At least Sinclair tried. Rodwell spent 3% of the time showing what he was capable of, 27% of the time not doing it, and the rest on the physio's slab. His attitude at Sunderland show's how often he was likely "injred" in that time.
Pellegrini - Mangala. Would have gone for Bony, but once saw him shoot from 3 feet out & the ball went for a throw in, which just sent me in hysterical laughter. Mangala, apart from keeping an on fire Costa in his pocked on his debut, was just crap without the entertainment value.
Pep - Mendy. Take away all of that, you're still left with an injury prone liability that just seemed to be a bit crap at football. Wayward passes. Bad tackling. Panicking under pressure. Yeah.
