That’s partly from taking a league one team to the premier league in back to back seasons.

With a team that had achieved back-to-back promotions, and with several players, who’d been part of the squad in the third tier.dont mean as worst manager but he did have the lowest premier league points total

Hughes has the far better managerial career and although not brilliant at City did a much better job than the manager who acheived our worst points total in the Premier League. Surpassing Alan Ball.
and I was just questioning whether it was joe royle who had our worst premier league points total not alan ball or pearce

Fair enough, but you would have saved yourself a lot of flak, if you’d quoted the post you were replying to.i was replying to the post below

Yes. A joke.
I was 13 when Clarke took over and remember it being dire.
Any behind the scenes stories about that time you might be able to share?

Sorry Buddy I've been here through tin and thin since 1968, seen it all and IMO he was an absolute waste of space.No chance. He wouldn't be in the top (bottom?) 10. If you lived/suffered through the late 80s and through the 90s,you could easily name five or 6 from that era alone.
He had a good squad but was absolutely clueless.... IMO

Joe Royle is a 100% City legend. Anyone who says he isn’t, isn’t a City fan.Joe Royle?
I hope you’re fucking joking.
The job that Joe and Willie Donachie did in restoring pride to Manchester City should never be forgotten.
He took an over-inflated squad, and along with David Bernstein's boardroom leadership got rid of the high earners and wasters, and brought us back-to-back promotions.
Anyone, who thinks Joe Royle is our worst ever manager really has no clue about this club.

We had a reasonable set of players. We were a comfortably just in the bottom half team, maybe even mid-table with a manager who knew what he was doing.I think Pearce kept us up despite the utter shite he signed the previous summer like Corradi
Pearce nearly got them relegated.
