Avram Grant: worst manager in the Premiership?

[silverlining]

Is this bollock-faced fucking goon the biggest fucking chancer in Premiership history?

 

He's only ever got jobs because of his contacts, or the fact that he's an Israeli.

 

Rocks up at Pompey as Technical Director, despite doing fuck all in football apart from managing a few Israeli teams. He does nothing except kiss arse and loom over better, more experienced managers (Redknapp, Mouringho(!)) and then step in after the incumbent decides to fuck off (and who could blame them, what could they learn from HIM?).

 

Nothing sums up Abramovich's cluelessness more than the appointment of Grant above Mourinho, and then replacing Mourinho as manager with someone like Avram Grant. Who took the most expensively-assembled side in modern history to.....no trophies. And the inevitable sack.

 

But STILL some lauded him, and claimed it was a bad decision and he deserved better. So he went back to Portsmouth as Director of Football, waited until the manager got sacked again, stepped in, and got them relegated. And left.

 

To, amazingly, West Ham. Where he has presided over 7 Premiership wins and his team stuck to the very bottom of the table.

 

Surely now he will have to fuck off back to some footballing backwater in Israel or Russia and we'll finally be rid of him?

 

He makes Roy Hodgson - doing a FINE job at West Brom, as many thought he would - look like fucking Pep Guardiola.

the title is pretty spot on, although the job Hodgson did with us was at the time was the worst management in the league, he's probably gonna come higher with West Brom than he would have done had he lasted the season here,madness!

[Guest Slim(fast)Shady]

Quite like him myself....seems a laid back kinda bloke...

 

Worse? Gerrard Houllier....

[The Bugged Out]

Has to be Alan Ball his golden spell at Southampton, City and Pompey in the mid nineties takes some beating

That's why you're so red, you blithering twatpole

Or that Les Reed blert at Charlton. He was fucking hilarious. Shame he only lasted two months.

Bloke gets paid a fortune for letting his players do his job for him. Whenever he loses his job, he walks straight into another equally well-paid job. Also got a younger, relatively fit wife (considering how he looks) who, when he gets caught at brothels, says that he is stressed and should visit prostitutes more often.

 

Avram Grant is some sort of genius and I tip my hat to him

I don't doubt that having a face like a kicked-in fridge door has helped mould my opinion of him, but I really hate him.

[Scousa Tomo]

He must either have some really good blackmail material on some of these clubs chairman, or he gives truly majestic head.

[Byrnie]

Off the top of my head Bobby Gould, Chris Hutchings and Brian Horton were awful too. I bet there are a lot more.

[PestiRed]

I'm saving all my hate up for Redknapp & Warnock

I am trying to pretend he won't be in the Premiership next season. Thanks for reminding me.

 

On the plus side, I've seen us batter QPR lots of times.

Was just having the same discussion with my driver instructor (only decent everton fan i know) we werent just saying in the premier league but managers generally. i mean ian dowie, micky adams, aidy boothroyd, peter simpson, these guys get regular links to managerial posts but what have they actually done? i know its off topic but these guys are poor

But none of them ever got to manage Abramovich's Chelsea!

 

Avram Grant actually managed Chelsea! When they were GOOD.

 

It's still amazing to me to this day.

Re: Warnock. Praying for one of two scenarios

 

1) FA grow some balls, give a points deduction and Warnock is denied Premier League management by delicious irony of using a 3rd party-owned player

 

2) QPR's owners sack Warnock and replace him with a foreign manager causing Paddy Barclay to go into melt-down and disappear up his own British arse

No need to be shy. Ask for both.

They're both really, really good.

I think the guy at Blackburn is awful. He's so shit I don't know his name and can't be bothered to look it up. Tangerine Phil was also very shit.

Steve Kean. He hasn't really had long enough to be TRULY awful.

 

Although he has had longer than Les Reed at Charlton, but he's a special case. I loved seeing him being interviewd after games, it was like they'd mistaken the kitman for manager.

 

And Phil Brown is a towering cunt, but getting fucking HULL into the Premiership, and keeping them up, is quite amazing.

[PestiRed]

Phil Brown now having to work in League 1 due failing to turn around the incompetence of his hero Fergie's son has made me smile as well

[Parisienne]

You could say that about steve coppell as well? does that mean paul jewell is a good manager? i like the bloke but for me hes not very good

I'm fairly sure someone on this website or possibly 6CM wanted Paul Jewell to take over from Benitez as Liverpool manager at one point.

[satansmutt]

Steve Kean at blackburn makes Fat Sam look like a footballing genius.Mickey Adams is crap at every club he goes to but my own personal favorite(is that the right word) was Howard fucking Wilkinson. How the hell did he manage to win a league title playing long ball ale house tactics and then manage to convince the F.A to make him technical director.

What does that bit have to do with anything?
