Withdean managers poll

[Uncle Buck]

I reckon you'll have similar remorse about your McGhee booing too in years to come

Maybe, I doubt it though.

Lloyd was working with a board that were trying to run the club down and was never popular, due to the way he had been put into the job.

Although Withdean is a pain, things are much more stable now than they were 15 years ago.

I f***ing hope not! How many games have we won since feb

 

[Simster]

Best: Taylor, closely followed by McGhee.
Worst: Hinshelwood, closely followed by TCK.

 

[Napper]

someone mentioned Barry Lloyd he destroyed alot of what was good with his attempts at unearthing the next Ian Wright from non league football.....geoff cooper , richard tiltman to name but 2 . . .shocking bloke

Voted Adams due to 2 championships

 

[Grendel]

Tinselhead 4 votes

Apparently Tinselhead is better than Taylor and McGhee

Serves you right for even considering putting him in this poll

 

[Simster]

How the hell has McGhee got 6 votes. Absolutely beyond me.

Promotion (having finished higher than when he took over)
Keeping us up last season despite clearing a net £1.8m in transfer profit to date.
Possibly losing the plot this season, we'll have to see.

I do not disagree. When he went after that game at Port Vale in 1993 I was very pleased. For all the Nelson, Byrne and Small's there were some shockers in there and paying money for Farrington....

Got to be Adam's with the way he managed to drag us from a bottom half 3rd division team to the winning the league and setting us on our way to the winning div 2. I remember watching us at Gillingham and just hoping that I'd see us play in the then Division 1 anytime in my life. Now we're in our 3rd season there and I think most of the credit must go to Micky Adams

 

[Publius Ovidius]

come on ...own up...who put mcgeee

 

[The Large One]

No contest, Adams basically won 2 championships!

No he didn't.

 

[Da Man Clay]

Adams

 

[Trigger]

The real answer is of course McGhee - highest finish in the league structure.

FACT

Pull your tongue out of the guys arse for just a second.

He'd be no higher on that list than 3rd and way behind Adams & Coppell and maybe even Taylor.

FACT

Coppell. OK, he failed to keep us up in the end but, we went down with pride AND set a good foundation for McGhee to get us back up.

What foundation? Leon, who was an excellent gamble I agree but who else??

A semi fit goalkeeper and two old crocks I believe.

The team that was left was still Adams core if you look at it.

Coppell had added Knight and Roberts to it and brought Butters back in, I guess Rehman was still on loan, just, but he was a bit hot and cold when playing for us.

 

[TSB]

Voted Mcghee as he's had it a lot tougher...if he keeps us up this year then he deserves.

Will always love Micky though

 

[Brighton Breezy]

I never really rated Rehman to be honest.

exactly, this Coppell worship pisses me off, he used us and we didn't really benefit at all long term. He is an excellent manager but his legacy here is not the way some people are now interpreting it.

To put him in front of McGhee is a joke imo

 

[Uncle Buck]

But then the to most people it is just a job, it is the same with players, some come here as a stepping stone and it is the same thing with managers. Both Taylor and Adams used us to move on. McGhee seems not to be, maybe that is loyalty, maybe that is because nobody else will employ him.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

I am sure if better clubs came knocking McGhee would be off like a shot.

It's not like he dosnt have a history of doing that is it..?
