Re: Who was the most clueless City manager ever? Apart from
Anybody who includes Howard Kendall in this list is really clueless. Yes we were all annoyed by what he did but he was seduced by his love for Everton in much the same way Big Mal loved City. Kendall took charge of a rapidly sinking ship and with some brilliant and cheap signings turned us into a good team. I think we were 4th in the table when he left which was some turnaround. Not forgetting he made Lakey captain before his injury. Lakey himself has personally told me that Kendall was the best manager he ever played for. Had Kendall stayed we would never have struggled through the 90's the way we did I'm sure of that and I'm sure when he looks back even Howard will admit he made a mistake leaving us.
