[WIZARD OF TANGERINE]

no

 

[Cleveleys boy]

1) McDonald
2) Ince

Nothing personal about the rest, some of the football was / is bad but never a proper disliking to any of them

 

[Old_Laytonian]

Why?

 

[BigHandsOliverKahn]

McDonald started with absolutely nothing but actually laid some foundations Bowyer was able to further re-build from the following season so maybe wasn't as bad as most make out in retrospect.

Clark was odd even before he came here in having had success before mostly by drawing matches 0-0 or sometimes scraping 1-0 wins so was never going to light up the ground, Ince started well but was negative and lost so many in a row before being potted so ended up a disaster, Henry was a non-starter and his team just looked permanently lost but probably the worst of the lot was Riga who seemed every bit as dodgy as his employers - fate seemed to bring them both together - and subsequently failed to even get a team in place.

McDonald end of. Would have loved nothing more than to punch that smug wanker in the face.

 

[FY5_Seasider]

How the hell anybody can put Holloway in their list of most disliked managers I will never know.

Exactly. McDonald was a disaster from start to finish. Some of the others were rubbish but he took it to new levels.

He's up there with Gary Megson as my most despised of all time.

Can't really believe a Blackpool fan could make a list of disliked managers.
Seems quite childish

 

[Tiptree Tangerine]

I only have a top 4 of disliked
1) Hendry
2) Appleton
3) Ince
4) Clarke

I'd totally switched off when Mcdonald was appointed, and didn't go, and I just blame the previous owners.

He dared to rid us of the "Little Blackpool" image, how dare he? It takes some of our fans out their comfort zone.

 

[A_Tense_Grin]

Neil McDonald but he was a victim of that era.

Hendry was obviously shit but wouldn’t say disliked him. Appleton is similar. Nothing personal but shit.

 

[TheRealKingKenny]

I've not actively disliked any of them, saved that for the former owner.

 

[hertfordseasider]

Brannigan & Simms

 

[Alfie Conn]

Felt sorry for Lee Clark actually,poor bastard walked into an absolute shitstorm. Neil McDonald cut his own jugular before the ink on his contract dried,Paul Ince had to play football on a pitch equivalent to Beecher's brook, Appleton 1st time saw the Stains flawed operation for what it was,Riga had the misfortune to catch Karl at his petulant best and Mad Mick Henigan was assisted by Mike Davies!. I really couldn't say I disliked any,more like felt sorry for them.

 

[LimerickTangerine]

Riga
Mcdonald
Appleton
Ince

 

[Southshoresteve]

Mugdonald - worst manager in my lifetime - made Hendry, Carr and Worthington look like Pep!

Ps - not the worst manager but never really took to Ferguson either.

 

[Seasideforever]

Easier to name who I loved HOLLOWAY ,apart from the last day .
