Football Managers Hated By The Fans

There have been several football managers that have been hated by the fans whilst in charge of their club.

For instance Alan Pardew was hounded of the club by the Newcastle fans. For some obscure reasons he got dogs abuse and I never understood what he'd done to deserve such treatment. If my memory serves me correct he got Newcastle into 5th place in his first season. Perhaps this is a case of guilty by association? Pardew being from London was probably tarred with the same brush as Mike Ashley !

Benites is another one on that list. He was greeted with boos and banners around SB telling him to leave the club. Whilst in charge of Liverpool, he was guilty of mocking Chelsea fans for waiving plastic flags in order to create atmosphere at SB. He stated on one of his interviews that "Our fans don't need plastic flags". In this instance, you can fully understand the fans reactions and why he wasn't welcomed at the Bridge. He went on to win the Europa league with Chelsea. But the fans have never forgiven him for making such remarks, displaying banners "Chelsea fans do not forget"

Any other manger you may think, that have been treated badly by their own fans, for one reason or another ?

Curbishly at Charlton towards the end!




Bet they wished they'd had him a few years later.

Moral of the story - be careful what you wish for!

Good point Brum

I quite liked Curbishly as a manager ,didn't know he was hated at Charlton though.

Any reason why was that ?

He got them to mid table but no further, No disgrace for a club like Charlton IMO, however a faction turned on him because they felt they were better than they were, campaigned to get him out, got their wish and were relegated within a couple of years.

That's ridiculous, personally I thought he was doing ok. But, yeh they got what they deserved in the end.

Pardew was horrendous.

Redknapp was always hated by a large chunk of our support.

Andy - Why was Pardew horrendous ?

HRH - I think Harry was disliked mainly because he has a reputation for being disloyal and crooked
