Given thread on best managers thought it would be interesting to see how many managers some of us have endured. I’ve seen a few in my time.
Going score them as G Good A Average S Shit PG Potentially Good
Howe A
Smith A
Francis G first time round S second
Wilkins S
Houston S
Waddock S
Gregory A
Holloway G first time round S second
Dowie PG
Magilton PG
Di Canio G
Hart S
Sousa PG
Warnock G
Hughes S
Redknapp A
Ramsey S
Hasslebank S
McLaren A
Warburton G
Beale PG
Critchley PG
Ainsworth S
That’s off the top of my head don’t think I’ve missed anyone (only done proper managers not caretakers)
So 24 managers if i include Marti
Sine proper dross choices above.

I think ex Luton Mick Hartford was caretaker manager perhaps between Gregory and Holloway eras

Remember doing few games when Mates parents had spare tickets under Howe and Smith but memory is hazy. Francis was when I can remember it all from

Other than Trevor Francis I don’t there’s too many missing from your list in that time scale. Alec Stock Bill dodgin Les Allen Frank Sibley (maybe 2 or 3 times) Steve Burkinshaw.Tommy Docherty twiice Gordon Jago and Dave Sexton from 67 to 70s |

Can’t think of his name right now but he also managed Wolves, Millwall and Pompey, caretaker managed us and played in the number 6 shirt as defender around 80 or 90s
edit Kenny Jackett.

i only supported us from holloways first stint, right after we got promoted. but i agree with the list.
NC's tenure was terrible but i think he was just the right manager at the wrong time. if he'd been appointed instead of the eel i suspect he'd still be here now and we'd be in a much better place than we are tbh, maybe at a blackburn sort of level.
he just didn't have the character to pick players up and it was probably silly to appoint him when we did tbh.
obviously its still to early to judge MC and we could all be hating his guts as a spanish PE teacher in a few weeks time but he comes across as a strong likeable character and with a tactical nous about him.
the club already feels like its turned a corner under him and the players performance reflects that.
yesterday was a pretty average game but its the best we've played in a long long time.
