Most liked and disliked managers of other clubs

[21.05.2016]

What are some of your most liked and disliked managers of other clubs (past and present)?

Disliked (in no particular order):

Potter - Weird weird character who, for someone whos never won a thing in all his 30+ years as a players and manager, has way too much to say for himself
Jefferies - Arrogant, classless and totally bitter as was his horrible wee side kick Billy "uv bin places" Brown
Houston - See above. Never a smidge of credit towards hibs when we beat them just foaming at the mouth and excuse after excuse..


Liked:

Ally McCoist - Although he's a rangers man, I always thought he actually came across as quite a good guy

[jgl07]

Mourinho a complete and utter ********. A master in the dark arts of anti-football. Guaranteed to bring any club to its knees within two and a half years.

[The 90+2]

Houston. Colin Calderwood at Cambridge is a prick too.

[Sir David Gray]

Craig Levein's in a class of his own as far as this is concerned. Compared with him, Jefferies is a saint.

Are you a rangers fan ?

At least potter has abit of banter . Jefferies is like watching paint try

Levein, Houston, Jefferies - all cut from the same cloth really. Bitter, classless and absolutely foaming at the mouth at the mere mention of hibs. Undignified in defeat and undignified in victory. In some of Houstons interviews as Falkirk manager after we beat them in the Championship games, I genuinely thought he was ready to explode. As they say on keekback - SEETHING!

[Hibbyradge]

Levein is a nonentity. More to be pitied than scorned.

I really dislike Gerard and I've no time at all for McCoist who was a sneaky wee creep as a manager.

Souness can get tae as well.

Levein likes to think hes Mr Laugh-a-minute but he's as boring and dull as they come. Sitting at a dinner party with him in your company would feel longer than a week in Saughton.

To be fair all of them have a good record against us . Bring back cat bro !!!

I love Gerrard at Liverpool, everything a proper captain and leader should be and a top role model. However, my admiration for him has gone right down since he moved to Scotlands Shame. He's bought into their whole "everybody is against us, its a conspiracy" victim culture.

[Joe6-2]

All of the above plus him who wore a phannies hat

[Eyrie]

I liked Cathro.

I really dislike Levain's obsession with us. Wouldn't mind some of his quips if they were funny, but his attempts at humour are about as funny as getting your chest waxed without anaesthetic.

[snedzuk]

Jock wallace - absolute james hunt

[Haymaker]

He's a Liverpool fan, acting the victim comes naturally
:greengrin

[CathroMustStay]

It still amazes me that people buy into McCoist's 'happy go lucky' act.

He's the footballing equivalent of Boris Johnson's 'banter' on his Have I Got News For You appearances.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Arsene 'I didn't see the incident' Wenger. He always tried to play attractive football, but he was totally dishonest and hypocritical at Arsenal.

Neil Warnock: possibly the biggest James Hunt ever. By the way, has he had a face lift? His skin looks very tight and odd just now.

[The 90+2]

If we’re going back a bit then Alex McDonald is a complete ****. Preston I’m sure had a go at managing also.

I’ve always liked Holloway and Warnock. Steve McLaren too .

Hated pardew and liked Woy.

Love Sir Alex. Best there is, best there was...:

Holloway is a good shout. Comes across as a real nice guy who loves a bit of banter and humour.

[Hibbyradge]

I didn't like that bloke Appleton when he was at Oxford.

Jim and Tommy McLean were horrible too.

[muzzhfc]

He's a Liverpool fan, acting the victim comes naturally
:greengrin

He was an Everton fan growing up.

But I hated Lennon when he was at Celtic. Every rangers manager. Every Hearts manager.

[BegbieHSC]

Liked - Martin O’Neill at Celtic - seemed an alright guy.

Ian Cathro - genuinely - always came across well - probably more suited to being a coach, as opposed to a Head Coach/Manager

Jim Duffy (hated him for a few days after the scrap with Lenny, but again, he always speaks well.)

Steve Clarke - what’s not to admire?

Strachan - he’s a wee gob*****, but that’s part of the charm.

Disliked - Walter Smith, Craig Levein, Peter Houston, Terry **** Butcher, Jim Jeffries, Derek McInnes, Gary Locke, Brendan Rodgers, Paulo Sergio

[Hibeesmad]

Always liked Ranieri, even at his Chelsea days, great character.

[ivan03]

I quite like Brendan Rodgers and Derek McInnes, both pretty classy most of the time and very honest in their interviews after games.

Strachen the king of interviews especially in his time down south.

Can’t stand Levien for obvious reasons, bell....end of a guy.
Also agree about Ally McCoist even more so as a pundit, never biased which is surprising being such a big rangers man.

[we are hibs]

If hibs didn't exist Craig levein wouldn't be hearts manager. He just like their club is defined by hibs. He's an absolute clown who set the Scotland team back decades.


Warburton was a classless clown too. Waltzed in expecting us to just hand them scott allan. Claimed he didn't want to talk about players from other clubs despite constantly talking about players from other clubs. Went missing for weeks after we basically Kickstarted his demise at rangers after the cup final.

[JXM73]

Dislike:
Neil Lennon (not at hibs)
Sam **** allardyce
Alan pardew
Mourinho
Ally Mcmoist
Walter smith
Derek hun Mccinnes

[J-C]

Dislike.
Morinho
Pardew
Levein
Walter Smith ( epitome of the hun culture )
Butcher, charlatan & bully
McCann

Liked.
Sir Alex
Guardiola
Klopp
Shankly
Wenger, moaning faces git but played the game the right way.

[JimBHibees]

He was an Everton fan growing up.



Dont think he was. Carragher, Owen, Mcmanamin were Blues pretty sure Steeevie G was a red.

[The Modfather]

Disliked - Crooked ‘Arry, Sam Alladyce, Mourinho, Neil McCann,

Liked - Eddie Howe comes across as a nice guy and doing wonders at Bournemouth, grudgingly Gareth Southgate

[stu in nottingham]

Historically speaking, Brian Clough, Sir Matt Busby, Bill Shankly and Jock Stein will always be on a pedestal for me.

Not fussed with the likes of Warnock in the present day game.

[emerald green]

Disliked - Hibs worst ever manager - Butcher.

[esjorto]

Dislikes.
Levein
Walter Smith
McCoist
Warburton
Pardew
Mourino
Butcher
Jeffries
Gerard

[heidtheba]

Liked
- Stubbs - not just 'cos of the Cup win, he was a gentleman.
- Sir Bobby Robson - thoroughly decent type of guy
- Clough - just because of the film (and yes, I know lots of it aren't true, but he's fascinating to me)
- Sir Kenny

Can't stand
- Calderwood
- Houston
- Levein - I don't mind him, but this Hearts 'playing up to the crowd' nonsense yesterday was bewilderingly bad. I thought he took the Natural Order stuff quite well actually though.

[southsider]

Have a major dislike to Alex Ferguson. Never forgave him for breaking Crops leg at Falkirk. Thug of a player.

[GreenOnions]

Steve Clarke. Graceless in defeat - absolutely never acknowledges when his team deserved to be beaten, always adamant that injustices have been perpetrated on his team but also never seems to notice things that have gone in favour of them. He's also dour and moaning-faced.

Good manager though. he could just do with coming across as a nicer person and showing more sportsmanship

[Keith_M]

Alex McDonald.

Had a team of thugs everywhere he went. Hearts in the 80s and and Airdrie in the 90s.


I admired Bobby Robson, Brian Clough (though a bit of a strange character), Kenny Dalglish and Jock Stein when he was in charge of Scotland (his Celtc era was before my time)

I've always found it hard to like Alex Ferguson but you have to admire his achievements.

[givescotlandfreedom]

Dislike:
Levein - an absolute cardigan of a man.
Gerrard - smug twat who's achieved nothing in management.
Rodgers - patronising, self portrait worshiping fud.
Levein - even his own don't like him, 3k at his testimonial.
McInness - perma-tanned hun who presides over a dirty, cheating team.
Clarke - incapable of praise for the other side and constantly girning.
Levein - couldn't leave the toilet in 86 to collect his runner up medal.
Houston - beetroot anti-football trumpet.
Colin Calderwood - the lavvie smell after a heavy night drinking.
Davie Irons - stabbed his own mate in the back.
Mourinho - football hating, tax dodging fud.
Levein - had his bit on the side refer to him as a 'famous football manager' when he got caught playing away instead of a boring Hearts failure.

Likes:
Appleton seems all right.

[weedgiehibbie]

Could never stand Alex Totten at Falkirk, could never say anything decent about other clubs even when they had hammered Falkirk

[silverhibee]

It still amazes me that people buy into McCoist's 'happy go lucky' act.

He's the footballing equivalent of Boris Johnson's 'banter' on his Have I Got News For You appearances.

Been in his company many times over the years and he is a decent guy, good laugh.

[S.sct]

Butcher, Calderwood and McInnes, plonkers one and all.

Levein is a pantomime character, don’t mind him actually. Makes a pure chorus and verse of himself on a regular basis.

Klopp’s a fascinating character.

I always liked him....Jimmy that is.

[Saint Hibee]

Harry Redknapp - a criminal masquerading as a football manager.

But he does have the richest dog in Europe.

[stantonhibby]

Not a fan of that Appleton bloke.

[One Day Soon]

Whoever managed those Uruguayan thugs in '86.

Ambivalent about Craig Brown but detested his brother Jock Brown when he was 'commentating' on the telly.

[Renfrew_Hibby]

Really can't take to these multi millionaire job hopping managers down south like Big Sam and Steve Bruce.

Add to that Paul Lambert, these types turn up, sign on and leave a big stinking mess usually around 12 months later.

Then they like to 'take a break' and to 'contemplate' their next move. Usually somewhere in the Caribbean lighting cigars with burning £50 notes.

[Renfrew_Hibby]

That huddy of a manager Mark Hughes is another.

[Marvellous]

Craig Levein is the only manager I genuinely dislike. A creepy, petty, boring, argumentative, thin-skinned man-child with the shannest banter known to man. He should serve as a motivation to everyone in the game: a warning that a lifetime spent in the sport yet winning nothing can turn you into one sour, miserable prick.

[Peevemor]

I always detested Alex Totten, an ungracious oaf of a man.

[jgl07]

Arsene 'I didn't see the incident' Wenger. He always tried to play attractive football, but he was totally dishonest and hypocritical at Arsenal.

Neil Warnock: possibly the biggest James Hunt ever. By the way, has he had a face lift? His skin looks very tight and odd just now.

I used to like Arsene Wenger until he stayed too long at Arsenal. The longer he stayed the more outlandish his claims and self-delusion became.

Entirely agree about Warnock.

[monktonharp]

I'd like a team from the goalie down, picked by Doolan…..Banks brownlie Shaedler ….Doolan Stanton Doolan and Edwards, Doolan O'Rourke and Gordon and Riordan

[monktonharp]

off tae bed now, feelin' DOOLALY

[Bangkok Hibby]

Most disliked
Ferguson since his post match attack on his own team after winning the cup in 83

Most liked
Clough, took no **** from anyone. Great manager

[SouthMoroccoStu]

Peter Houston has to be up there with Levien on the detest list

[where'stheslope]

This thread would not be worth typing if you took Yam managers out of the equation!

If they had the same thread on keekback, it would all be about Lennon and Co.!!!!

Pity it could be a good thread, but as soon as Levein shows up the thread deteriorates????

A fascinating description; have you ever seen Levein and The Donald in the same room???

[BullsCloseHibs]

Harry Potter. A genuine creep and an unusual, bitter football coach.

I’ve read your post a few times and still not sure what you’re talking about.
