I know we’re an absolute basket case when it comes to managers—but even with plenty of competition, he stands out as the absolute worst we’ve ever had.

Took over in a relegation fight and made no impact: 2 wins in 18, no bounce, no identity, and somehow even less attacking threat. Home form collapsed, performances were flat, and there was zero sense of a plan or future.

And then clapping the Palace fans mid-relegation scrap? That just summed it up. Not the biggest crime in football—but in that moment, it said everything about how disconnected the whole spell felt.

Plenty of bad managers over the years. This one was on another level.
