One of those was responsible for appointing and overseeing all 3 of the others. How he wouldn't be held more accountable I don't know. But the order of the other two is correct too.
How you can put McCarthy in there is beyond me! Sure the guy had his faults, but what he did with one hand behind his back was phenomenal. He deserves a medal not a kicking!

It’s because we had the longest amount of turgid crap from him than any other manager. Granted we had the only good season out of him as well. The others were more irrelevant.
But of course McCarthy isn’t the one to vote for. How Evans doesn’t get 100% in this vote is beyond me.

Paul Jewell and it’s so frustrating when people always go to Keane as the bad guy, easy target. Jewell was unbearable, at least Keane tried to get a good team together

Please swap out McCarthy and put Lambert in instead. McCarthy was in an almost impossible position. The football wasn't great, but did us little harm compared to those who came directly after him.

I would say that Mick’s brand of football took a lot of fun and enthusiasm out of going to Portman Road. True, he didn’t have much of a budget but the football offered wasn’t out of pragmatism but out of choice. So, in his own way he did do a significant amount of damage to the club.
But it says a lot about the incompetence of Evans that Mick was probably his best appointment- how anyone can defend him is beyond reason.

No they wouldn't. You're slipping the blame off Evans and onto others. Which was Evans best skill until people finally wised up to him.
Of course it would have been different. Not enough to change things drastically unless he was given the ability I put in all the infrastructure but Ashton would obviously have done a better job then those. The problem with Evans is he didn't think he needed someone experienced or anything but the bare minimum of staff.
Evans has to be the vote on the above. Though he did potentially save the club first and then run it into the ground.
I voted Keane because I genuinely think he set the club back years. He was the man in charge at the time that ME was prepared to back his managers financially and he wasted it at a time when we were financially competitive.
This isn't an ME love in on my part, because he clearly made significant errors but he deserves credit for 2 things: Bailing us out when we were in the proverbial and writing off a lot of money to allow Gamechanger to buy us and arguably put us in as strong a financial position as we've ever been.

Keane was always a gentleman when I met him in person. Signed my wee fella's cast and all but he was so tactically inept it was criminal. He found his true calling in the podcast game

Yeah. Evans, the famous micromanager, would definitely have given Ashton his 'oxygen' to do his job.
The credit Evans still gets from time to time on this board is astounding

But in the beginning Evans was less micromanaging and was pumping more cash into the club. This might well have been the difference between promotion and fifteen years of decline. If, he had employed someone like MA in the beginning.
But he didn’t and was an appalling owner.

I for one wouldn't be providing him with a medal. Worst manager in our history in my opinion.

Theres a very good reason he didn't appoint someone like Ashton and stuck with people like Clegg, Symonds, Milne and O'Neill.
None of them were 'football people' and so could never legitimately tell Evans what he was doing wrong, more over there was no connection between us, who were saying it out loud and them, that was carefully managed by Evans, which showed in his 'interviews' which were always statements and nothing more.
