We've had a few to be honest but the first name that came to mind was Alan Ball.

Re: Who was the most clueless City manager ever?
Is the Ron Saunders being mentioned the same Ron Saunders that took us to the League Cup final in 1974?
We'd have won that had it not been for some duff finishing and some brilliant saves from the Wolves keeper.
Saunders was a miserable git, no mistake, and he didn't get the best out of the players at his disposal, but he's well ahead of Neal, Clark, Benson and Ball when it comes to being a manager.

I started going in 1960 and i have to agree with this, Poyser worst ever by a country milelaserblue said:George Poyser. Came in originally as Les McDowell's assistant and took over when he was fired after City were relegated in 1963. A reasonable season in the old 2nd division was followed by what was then City's lowest ever league position which got him sacked. It was clear that under Poyser City would have sunk further. Mercer and Allison followed him and turned the club around immediately.

George Poyser. Hard for anyone who did not watch City when he was manager to comprehend how bad he was. No one since has come remotely close. He remains in a league of his own.

Re: Who was the most clueless City manager ever?
The David James substitution created panic in Boro's defence and would have been considered as inspired if Fowler
hadn't missed the resulting penalty.
While Pearce was a poor manager and the football was dire we've had far worse. He kept us in the PL and actually ran a transfer surplus.
He signed Hart and would have signed Walcott for £3.5m from Southampton if we hadn't been skint.

Clueless and inept would be generous. David fucking James up front. For fucks sakes. And he had a striker on the bench

Heres one from left field, one Howard Kendall. We could have been on the verge of greatness with the team he was building but was seduced back to Everton. What a clueless decision to go back there and not achieve much afterwards. Il throw that one out to the floor for discussion.

No he didn't, he had Jon Macken, signed because of a 50 yard fluke goal for Preston.Damocles said:For me, it's got to be Pearce.
