Worst ever Brighton Manager

[Return of the Rev]

Er hem. Barry Lloyd got us promoted and nearly into the top flight. You need to also remember what was going on at board level with him as well.

has anyone added up what he spent around 800k i think

99% of you would be too young to remember the worst manager we had and that was a guy called George Curtis. He had us as good as relegated by New Years Day.
He got us relegated twice in two season's down from Div2 to Div4

hinshelwood's record was dire, but remember that he didn't have a fit zamora at his disposal for much of his reign, and he was so vital to our team

he also had a team that was a bit out of it's depth after two successive promotions (the likes of watson and oatway clearly weren't division 1 players)

Exactly. I think we'd have struggled, possibly even lost 10 in a row (the last 2 of the 12 were under Coppell) with anyone in charge at that point in time.

Mickey Adams part 2. Completely dismantled a promising young side and made baffling decision after baffling decision.

that just about sums it up.

hinshelwood was both unlucky but also very bad - graham barrat anyone!

Has he scored yet?

Jeff Wood. Should never have been given the job in the first place

Second that. What was it? Won the first game, drew the 2nd, then lost the next 7 or something? I remember each game being more hopeless than the last.

It has to be Curtis, which other manager got us relegated in consecutive seasons?

 

[Storer68]

General all round Villain and considering what he took over , it has to be Barry Lloyd

but forever redeemed by smacking Archer in the face

 

[Storer68]

Alan Mullery's second spell was TOTAL TOILET

 

[Storer68]

Love Jimmy as a player but as a manager it is hard to find anyone worse.

But Idon't think ANYONE could have managed the club at that time.

it was bent on self destruction

It's a surprisingly short list really. I would discount Barry lloyd as just unpopular rather than bad and Adams' second spell because it was mitigated by his first (QED - he was not a bad manager as he has again proved at Port Vale.

George Curtis was truly awful in the very early sixties - the first manager I really remember, there was great rejoicing when he was replaced by Archie Macauley (not our best or most successful manager but my personal favourite). I think Curtis probably gets my vote ahead of Hinshelwood and Wood and also Jimmy Case (my dishonourable runner-up only because he had longer than the other two to prove how bad he was).

*from memory we were only actually relegated once under Curtis as he was replaced by Macauley with us already doomed to the second relegation but not technically down. Could be wrong though - the problem with him was incredibly negative tactics so we not only lost games but were awful to watch. Thankfully perhaps, I was living in London and only saw games in the school holidays

Well when it comes to being a wanker how much did he bring in sales ? What a tosser you are. He may not have been our best but he was long way from being the worst. He got us a promotion as well as the play off final but I guess you're too young to know, you're certainly immature.

Before my time, but hard to argue with that! Surely the winner? (aka "loser")

That just shows how much you actually know, the club were forced to sell Saunders for whatever they could get by Barclays Bank. Thanks for confirming what I thought, you are utterly clueless
