There is absolutely no doubt whatsoever that the worst managerial decision occurred when Alan Ball signed on the dotted line....................................
The rest, as they say,speaks for itself and is now (thank f*ck) history.

The well has truly been sucked dry with bad managerial decisions so i'll go for a time in our history when we were a completly fuckin joke club and swales decides to put Phil Neal ( Stan Laurel lookalike) in charge

Royle and co. for not putting an arm round Kinki`s shoulder and telling him to sort his napper out and stop knocking around with people who were leading him astray.
Keegan for letting Anelka go on practically the last day before transfer window shut (cant remember how much we got for him but it wasnt enough) and not having time to replace him. Also the Bekovich saga still makes me mad!!<br /><br />-- Wed May 19, 2010 2:17 pm --<br /><br />Keegan for letting Anelka go on practically the last day before transfer window shut (cant remember how much we got for him but it wasnt enough) and not having time to replace him.

A contender... Kendall for going back to Everton. No one gained from that - not Kendall, Everton or City. City would have developed under him. That's why it hurt.

It's amazing when you think how quickly he fell, I think I'm right in saying that he was up for the England job that summer(I guess when it went to Taylor)before he took the Everton Job. Yet only 4 or 5 years later he was managing Notts C in the lower leagues, you're right on that one, no one won on that whole deal, least of all Notts C!Gary James said:A contender...

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.
