Shame that. on 07:12 - Oct 26 by Churchman | No, Hurst was the worst. Beyond useless. How he managed that good season at Shrewsbury will remain one of life’s great mysteries. But in what could be described as The Managerial Turd Awards, windbag Lambert is a close second with nutter Keane and hapless Jewell fighting it out for third. Merit award for Cook too. Has anyone ever hosed up the wall a better opportunity? In the hate awards section, I detested Lambert the most. It wasn’t just because he didn’t know the difference between a team and a teapot. He had an air of arrogance about him that made me want to hit him all day long. Ok, Jewell might have reminded me of a drunk staggering about looking for a corner to throw up in but he was quite funny. As was Cook. Who can ever forget the post Northampton explosion. Team under the bus. Everyone under the bus, including himself. It was then I began to think ‘Houston, we have a problem’. The boilerman? Well, the press conferences were always an event, even if he did spud the money up the wall on the likes of Lee Martin. He was awful yet many of the good folk of Sunderland including a mate of mine, would re-employ him tomorrow. Strange. And here I am looking back with misty eyes on that sorry little lot as we currently sit second in the Championship after just about the best start to any season for my club that I can ever recall. Time to give the head a wobble. [Post edited 26 Oct 2023 7:15]
