Least Favourite..
Trevor Anderson
Pat Scully
Paul Hegarty (Sore loser and always caused a fuss)
Martin Moran, Liam Buckley, Paul Cook (I take it we're only talking about employed managers). Don't hate anyone as they're only humans.
Michael O'Neill, Michael O'Neill and emmmm......Michael O'Neill
Hated:
Pat Scully,
Dermot Keely,
Michael O'Neill.
Favourite:
Roddy...dont really have other favourites apart from my own club.
Love
- Rico, what a character, he may be a shams **** but he is endlessly entertaining
- Roddy, adore the man, some day I will get a photo with my hero, make a wish foundation style.
- Ian Foster, real nice guy and a gent, gets too much stick tbh.
Hate
- Despise O'Neill, snivelling spineless little rat, and what is with that perpetual slime that seems to be always dripping from his head, its not water, its to oily to be water.
- Dermot Keely, from a player to a manager he didnt lose all the qualities that made him a ****.
- Felix Healy, what a ********, rarr rarr rarr your **** felix and nobody cares.
I was at a UCD game against Cobh a few years ago, Myself and a few friends were standing beside the Cobh dugout for the second half and Hill just came over to us and started to have a chat with us while the game was on, Only stopped to abuse the linesman the odd time, have always liked him sinceQuote:

Funnily enough find this difficult - not too many managers p**s me off lately.
Three most like
Nutsey - for all the success he has had at Bohs. Sound bloke as well.
Paul Cooke - sound bloke, good manager.
Roddy - like him / hate him should be on both lists but God is he entertaining.
Not liked
Rico - pretentious clown
Seanie boy (Connor) spoofer supreme
Pete Mahon - good manager but ALWAYS moaning
I'll go with 4 of each, if I can.
Favourite -
Rusty (obviously). Honorable mentions for Pete, Martin Moran and the Doc.
Alan Mathews - Apparently recognised a UCD fan in work and was asking about us gatecrashing the C&D Foods Christmas party a couple of words previously.
Stephen Kenny - no particular reason. Maybe just for doing well with Longford.
Paul Cook - plays decent football; is usually refreshingly up front and honest in his interviews too.
Hated -
Doolin - Duh.
Keely - How many people has this man put off LoI? Those who were near me during our 2-2 against Shels last year will know my full feelings on him. :)
Fenlon - moany little whinebag
Roddy - Duh
Like:
None of them so Im carrying this 3 over to the hated column.
Hate:
Roddy - hoorbag
Fenlon - should be a jockey
Kenny - cnut
Keely - pr!ck
Dykes - just plain sh!te
Patsy McGowan - what a bag of nuts that thug is.
want to edit mine and include Martin Lawlor on the hated list..Quote:

Honourable Mention - John Robertson
Felix Healy almost ended up on both.
All managers are spoofers.
Some are just bigger spoofers than others. Most believe their own hype such as Richardson, Roddy and Connor which cumulates in people loving them and hating them in equal measures.
Others portray themselves in the media as complete whingers like Fenlon and Mahon who despite their success, are widely disliked.
Occasionally, there are managers who just damn good. Stand up Paul Cook.
That's quite an achievement! How did he manage that?!!Quote:

Alan Mathews - Seems a great manager, had great intentions for us before it all went pearshaped .
Paul Cook - He's got Sligo playing a nice brand of football and it's now made them one of the best teams in the LOI.
Dislike :
Roddy
Fenlon
Sean Connor .
Fenlon is disliked because of his success. Mahon is just disliked, cant remember him ever winning anything.Quote:

Alan Mathews - a decent manager. I would have liked to see how he would have did if tings didnt go tits up.
Paul Cook - has Sligo playing a great style of football and a decent chap to boot.
Dislike:
Roddy Collins - comes across as an absolute p****. This person didn't want a player of Dan Murrays calibre in the club. Takes credit for every decent player in the league even if he's never heard of them.
Paul Doolin - Negativity is his middle name. His style or lack of is ard to watch.
Pat Fenlon - He's just incredibly unlikable.
Most Hated, Brian Kerr.
why boots9? hes a major hero of mine as he did great things for pats in his ten years in charge!Quote:
