Who is the worst Manager Saints have had, your top 3 please and why
1. Keep emotion out of it, Gavin Bazunu is far from the worst keeper that we have had and believe it or not Will Still was not the worst manager.
2. They have had to have managed the first team more than just a few games in an emergency, |  |

Redknapp
Martin
Branfoot
Closely followed by Nathan Jones
Redknapp made a team that was more than capable of staying up a complete mess, typical of him it wasn’t his fault
Martin was an arrogant narcissist who put his ego and career before the club
For all his faults, how long have I got! Branfoot kept us up and we did win 6 in a row under him in his first season
Nathan Jones was a complete nutjob but should have never been given the job, his first interview showed he was completely out of his depth |  |

I would certainly put Redknapp above Branfoot in terms of the worst manager we have had, as much as I hated his style of football and the treatment of certain players such as Le Tiss, he was here for 2 1/2 seasons and in his first two seasons he kept us up with some to spare with little resources.
Branfoot's first 2 1/2 years were probably better than Lawrie McMenemy's in terms of achievements, but we all know what happened next for Lawrie.
To do so he didn't try to compete on a footballing level, but coached teams to be difficult to beat and scrap for points.
Redknapp was a disaster from start to finish at least Branfoot cared about the club, even if we didn't agree with his style of football.
George Burley should come in somewhere, he was given the money but couldn't get us up,
I wouldn't class Martin as one of the worst managers, he got us promoted, but without a director of football at the club we had no transfer strategy and he was left floundering , yes his arrogance and refusal to adapt cost us, but the damage was already done, could he have kept us up if he had a director of football keeping him in check, we will never know but perhaps. | |

Branfoot. Redknapp , Martin and Nathan Jones had fairly decent win ratios. Their problems were more to do with style of play and their own personal promotion.
If the criteria was solely win ratios, you'd have to say Ruben Selles, Steve Wigley, Mark Hughes and Ivan Juric were poor.
If the criteria was who was out of their depth it would be Will Salt all day long.
So if i had to list my 3 worst in order it would be.
1 Redknapp.
2 Branfoot.
3 Nathan Jones.
I think this goes to show that for me it's not only about winning. Just don't be a koont. |  | | |

Whilst I take on board that Martin got us promoted, any credit there was completely wiped out by his time managing us in the premier league
Anyone could have told you playing that way was going to be a disaster, you didn’t need to be an expert or be clever enough to understand what he was trying to do, utter madness with the players we had
Yes it was going to be pretty much impossible to stay up with the side we had, but at least he could have tried to make us hard to beat and slightly competitive. When the likes of Luton and the resources they have make a better fist of it, you have to ask some questions. To quote the old saying we were down before the Christmas decorations were down, well we were down before I’d even got up in the loft to get them out, and that was all down to that clown | |

Russell fvcking Martin by a country mile.
I absolutely despised the man.
Then Branfoot and then the dog with a bank account owner Redknapp. Ridiculous caricature of a man. |  |

A hill i'll die on is we got promoted despite Martin, he had a squad that should've been top two and got it to finish 4th, then only got through the play offs by changing his style of football.
Everyone with half a brain cell could see what would happen in the premier league, and there were even people in my group on the tube back after the play off final saying we should sack him there and then | | | |

I said to my dad as we were queuing up to get into Wembley Park after the game that I hoped he would adapt otherwise the next season would not be any fun
Still what does a decorator know? Not clever or brave enough to understand what Brightons answer to Rinus Michels was trying to do | |

You could also ask Leicester fans what they think of him right now. Needless to say he won't get many Christmas cards from them |  |

Never mind the Christmas decorations shotters.
I remember saying to my mate whilst driving home from the game against Leicester at home “ that’s it Peter we are down before the clocks even go properly back “.
Somehow, I still would vote Old Rubber Face and Branfoot ahead of him.Probably because Martin got us to Wembley and The Premiership even if his stupidity resulted in an immediate relegation. |  |

Still was absolutely useless. No pattern of play and good players benched week in week out. Had he stayed longer he would have made it into the top 3. | | | |

That’s true he did
I just have no time for arrogant people, especially someone like him who has absolutely nothing to be arrogant about. I took an instant dislike to him because it saved time | |

I’d say you’ve got to look at the layers available and if the manger got the best out of them, it would be easy to say the two Dutch clowns Poortvliet and Wotte but the squad they had was always likely to go down that season.
1) Will Still I have no idea what his tactics were and he was going to take a squad that finished 4th down to the 3 rd division if he had stayed.
2) Steve Wigley if I remember his appointment was very strange I that Lowe originally said he was caretaker then it was Wigley himself who said he was permanent . I blame him for our relegation that season as much as anyone. The squad should not have gone down but by the time he finally got the sack the damage was virtually done.
3) Mauricio Pellegrino. Again he was taking a squad that was capable of performing to relegation. We would have gone down if he had stayed - similier to Still. | |

I agree.
If Will Still had been here any longer he'd have been our worst Managerby a Country Mile.
He escaped that accolade by getting sacked after just a few games.
He was absolutely clueless. | | | |

He really was, the Pompey game at home I sat there thinking he must have a plan. He didn’t |  |

We were lucky we played Portsmouth when we did, if we had played them a month later they’d have beaten us. | |
