    Most unpopular England Manager ever?

    (Football Manager)

    Is it:

    McClaren

    Ericsson

    Alf Ramsay (managed to remain unpopular after World Cup win, well done)

    "Turnip" Taylor

    Other (please specify)
    Why the avatar? Well anyone accused of plotting against Gordon Brown can't be all bad.

    Gotta be Taylor but Mclaren will come a close second.
    Hard Brexit now!

      The FA could give this guy a go. He looks up for it:

        Possibly Ericsson was the best manager England ever had. Certainly in terms of consistency

          The thing is, we have changed managers and the performances are still bad. I watched the first half on Saturday night and we were rubbish. All we seem to do is punt the ball from the back which then misses whoever is up front. We are supposed to have 2 world class midfield players in there but we seem to be trying to bypass them. I think whoever is in charge of England has to look at the team and realise that you cannot have both Gerrard and Lampard in the same side essentially playing for one spot. If we had 2 world class goal keepers, would we play both of them? Actually I think this guy might, but you know what I mean. Why not drop Lampard to the bench and introduce a bit of competition for places.
          Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

          I preferred version 1!

              Interestingly El-tel comes out on top though relatively few games. Erikson looks pretty good too.

                But it was Gerrard doing much of the "kick around midfield for a while, the odd one-two with defence, then punt it up to whoever can be arsed running for it". Seem to recall him doing the same for liverpool not so long ago, and maybe still does? Very strange tactic with lanky Crouch sitting it out.

                I think they just lack flair and a bit of invention and rely too much on Rooney to provide it. Same as we did when Gazza was around.

                Seemed so obvious that we needed some proper wingers to open up the 11 man defence Israel fielded. Playing one of them (Lennon) on the wrong side of the pitch was ridiculous.

                I think turniphead tailor is just ahead of McLaren at the moment as worst manager of recent times. Should have had a complete change after Ericsson just to be sure.

                  Ericsson was the best manager in terms of fleecing the England supporters - he took a cool 5 million quid as his golden handshake - just think !

                  FIVE MILLION NICKER - for watching that lot try and kick a ball up and down the park !

                    He should at least have been made to work for it. Maybe managing the womens team or something, though with his track record with women maybe not. How did the ugly git manage to pull Ulrika and friends, it can't be his witty personality. Must be hung like a donkey or they were cheap.
