Worst Managerial Decision Ever By a City Manager

[ColinBellsjockstrap]

Les McDowall letting Bobby Johnstone go back to Hibernian has bothered me the last 51 years.

You have some serious issues to address mate........:-))

Signning RSC for £16mil has to top them all. Not only that but

going back for him three times

allowing himto be signed KNOWING HE WAS INJURED

Has got to be the worst decision of recent times

Buying Corradi and Samaras.

PUTTING DAVID JAMES UP FRONT..............
any takers????

I wouldn't class that as worst managerial decision... as it worked. If Fowler had scored the penalty.. it would have been hailed as a success! A mad decision maybe.....

Wasting time and trying to hold on to a 2-2 draw against Liverpool when it wasn't enough to avoid relegation has got to be the worst decision ever.

One I forgot earlier:

Hughes being so pigheaded with Moyes (*urgh*) on the Lescott signing. I really still think that Hughes wasn't that bothered about signing him until Moyes (*urgh*) dug his heels in. And what has Lescott done? Nothing except be on the injured list!

If signing RSC for 16 mil is the worst decision ever, you haven't been supporting City for long. Buying Samaras was far worse, as we were actually skint, and had just blown a chunk of the little we had on an expensive gamble which never payed off. At least with RSC we've got a lot of money, and if we were to sell him we'd get a bit for him as I'm sure he'll have plenty of suitors. He's also a very good stiker.

Signing Keith Macrae for a then 'world record' fee for a goalkeeper. And playing him even though we had Corrigan. Useless!

Must be Williams. The story was that he was a part-timer at County and had a successful decorating (I think) business. He came to City and realised that his business would go down the pan because he would now be a full time footballer. It was also reported that he'd earn less money at City than he would doing his decorating, so he was returned to County.
