On the back of the many discussions around Mr Warnock over the years are there any managers that you are eternally grateful never managed City?

I`ll start with Billy Davies.

How about these two, Roy Hodgsen and Daniel Farke.

By all accounts a genuinely nasty piece of work, as opposed to pantomime villain types like Warnock who are probably mostly decent blokes away from the game.

Tony Mowbray.

Crap everywhere he goes. Baffles me how he keeps getting jobs in football.

 

Strong disagree . Generally does a decent job & plays good football. His dour persona is not representative of how his team play.

Sorry but that's complete rubbish

Feel free to talk to my mate who's a Sunderland fan about his opinion of him, or my mate who's a Blackburn fan who couldn't wait to see the back of him. 

 

Then there's that fact that no matter who he manages when we play them and I watch his sides have lost every single time.

Yes. He does seem to be a really unpleasant man and a bully. i`ve never heard anyone have a good word to say about him and it`s no wonder he`s not in the game any more.

Known for playing good football and bringing through the youngsters whilst obtaining decent results. Did a fantastic job at Blackburn.

Very far from crap everywhere he goes.

Garry Thompson.

Similar to Stuart Pearce / Roy Keane in being all fire, aggression and passion whilst being utterly inept as a manager.

Had his short managerial career not started and effectively ended at Rovers then I would have been blissfully unaware of him.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garry_Thompson_(footballer,_born_1959)

 

I recall a fanzine parody of his usual after match rant at the time which something like this:

 

That's what I want to see, the guys fought for everything, they had pride, passion they made me proud out there today.

What do you mean "we lost"?

Blackburn fans live in 1995. Poorly supported club at this level and Mowbray had them shooting way above their level with a young squad.

Biggest shithouse off the 90s, John beck, I don't recall seeing him play, but he liked to keep the ball on the ground as a player I read.

That Cambridge side of his made the old Wimbledon team of the 90s look like Barcelona.

One of the greatest coaches this country ever produced, probably should have stayed in that role but his ego wouldn't let him be a back room boy. His side's played stunningly good football at times.

He may have been a good coach but the question was manager and my flakey memory of him in that role was just the occasional good season, loads of clubs he never seemed to stay long at and the main, slightly tongue in cheek, reason was to pick one of the many shambolic ex Gas managers.

As a couple have mentioned it’s Michael Appleton for me. 

There was a period of time when Ashton was here during the “rigorous process” post LJ that it was looking extremely likely he’d be appointed. Hopefully we are way, way past that now.

After listening to Radio Bristol for the lasy few years post match I would have to say most Yeovil managers.

Darren Way, Darren Sarll, Mark Cooper. That's why they are on their way to the 6th tier.

Didn't he get their groundsman to leave the grass lingerie in the last 15-20 yards to the goallines so they could hit long balls that would hold up fir their forwards to chase down?

GJ might have been involved in this!

I seem to remember that Gerald Sinstadt in his commentary always used to refer to a teams strip as shorts and stockings.
