Last manager who City fans really wanted sacked

[There is a Light]

After a great first season, Pelligrini was a disaster by the end. Yes, the arrangement had already been made for Pep to replace him, but he couldn’t leave quickly enough for me.

Pellegrini

 

[xgorton]

Pearce shithouse.

 

[Stelea]

Ball.
He was a complete disaster and started the Rot we had to endure for many years.
He took over a very promising team of Brian Hortons and immediately demoralised it.
Immel for Coton
Creaney of Walsh
Frontzeck for Lhekan
2 crazy downgrade transfers
Plus Kit Symonds, Hiley, Phillips, Kavkashvilie not good enough.
Worse of all, Ball destroyed Hortons previous brand of football disgarding Beagrie, pissing off Uwe, selling Walsh and returning Summerbee to a Championship type player.
The only decent thing was Kinky but that became an obsession.

My Top 3

1 Hughes
2 Pearce
3 Clark

My 1st game was 1957 at the age of 4. So once I realised what shite I was watching I realised I`d seen some shit managers

 

[deano ou812]

Mostly Hughes but he did get us to our first Semi Final since 1981 and brought the likes of Yaya Toure (mostly down to signing his Brother), David Silva (ex rag Gibson did some of that work?) Pablo Zabaleta and Carlos Tevez. A good shout for Pearce. He was beyond useless.

Hughes didn’t Silva or Toure that was under Mancini ..

 

[Platt Lane 59]

Was never really a fan of Stuart Pearce as a footballer for City.
He did have a good career (especially as coming from non-League, into the professional game late), but came too late to City.
He still thought you could dive-in on the opposition and get 2 or 3 warnings. Lived on his past reputation and was not aware times had changed.
So when he became Manager, I was gutted.
He may be a good Coach ? But, definitely not a manager, as seen with his more recent role at West Ham.
From what I've heard, since he has left Manchester City, he is a bitter ex-employee with a severe grudge ?

Hughes didn’t Silva or Toure that was under Mancini ..

Hughes did most of the scouting (or more to the point his top heavy backroom staff) but Mancini did give Marwood the nod with that and most of the earlier extra coaching.

 

[eyalluvitt]

I wanted Brian Horton sacked straight away for sending us down with the Kerb crawlers Luton, but I warmed to him over time

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Hughes, didn't want him in the first place.

The only City manager ever I've passed at the ground and ignored.
