What professional managers would you rate lower than Stan?

Think this thread has run its course!

Oh no, wait - Doolin.

I think there are similarities between him and Sammy Lee in terms of in frontof the camera. They are both awful and talk complete ****. Personally i rate nobody lower than him. How many other managers would say someone like Joey O'Brien has played in central defense in the past when he has never in his career played there

Shoddy , but then again he was successful with Bohs

Avram Grant springs to mind.

At least not in any top leagues or international sides.

Tommy Lyons ex manager of Dublin...oh no, he was amateur....sorry, you got me there.

Khare B. Basnet the current manager of Bhutan (ranked 197). But he is coherent. So the answer is no.

**greendeiseboy** · 06/10/2007, 4:28 PM

None of the managers mentioned are worse than Stan.

Not one could possibly make the selection and positioning mistakes Stan has made. They are beyond belief.

C'mon, you are kidding yourselves if you say otherwise.

Nick Gleeson who brought down Bearings. Ach no, I hear he is doing a decent job for Galway.

**Delbertt** · 07/10/2007, 12:25 PM

John Barnes?

I'd have Peter Reid managing us over Stan in a second ...and I'm a Leeds supporter.

For established track record in taking teams down divisions and rankings Bryan Hamilton, likeable chap as he is, takes some beating.

He seemingly thought he was in the running for the Irish job when Kerr got the gig despite the FAI hiring him as a finder.

Though to his credit his NI team whipped, home and away, the same p1ss-poor Austria side who beat us 3-1 home and away in the Euro 96 qualifiers. A campaign where Charlton and Setters (and the squad for that matter) were guilty of gross dereliction of duty.

As well as his punditry work I believe Hamilton has some consultancy or advisory post to one of the smaller associations in the Carribean. Nice work if you can get it.

Stan would still shade Sylvia De Gres the Belgian manager of a less than successful womens team

not many maybe the Georgia rugby manager for thinking his 2nd team would be good enough to beat Ireland.

Watch for another Stan moment next week if John O'Shea doesn't made the Jgame. He will have to call up a centre half. If he is consistent he will play Joey O'Brien and use Andy O'Brien as backup. Except he never had any intention of using Joey O'Brien. He was just too stupid to realise he might need cover for the only 2 centre halves that can play against the Germans.
