My latest offering on the Daisy Cutter is the 10 appointments in Premier League history that you just knew would go pear-shaped. If you have time, I'd be delighted if some of you would read it. Cheers.

Brian Laws at Burnley springs to mind. He managed two sides in one season and they both ended up going down.<br /><br />-- Thu Nov 17, 2011 7:38 pm --<br /><br />Actually, swap Houllier for Laws. Villa finished top half under Gerard and his heart problems aren't his fault.

Brian Laws at Burnley surely deserves to be in there? I belly laughed when I read he'd come in to replace an ambitious Owen Coyle. I know sometimes a Club has to go with who is available and what they can afford but SOMEONE better must have been around.

Houllier won trophies at Liverpool. O'Neill did not at Villa.

Steve Coppell was worse than Ball, I could see that one ending in tears as soon as they announced him.

 

[johnny on the spot]

Paul Gascoigne for Kettering
Peter Reid for Thailand
Tony Adams for Gabala

Good read that Kev. I'd like to add Steve Coppell at City, he was never going to be accepted, my mate Faggy who you met at Blackburn started the "Coppell out" campaign during his first game. How about Steve Mcclaren as England manager?
