those were dark dark days when you look at where we are now
he was just totally the wrong fit wasn't he - don't think he ever settled in the area for starters and then just fell out with literally everyone |  |

The players being terrified of him.
I can remember one game that Damien Delaney was playing right back.
He had the ball, brought it up towards the halfway line and closer he got, the more the look of panic appeared on his face as he looked for someone to pass to… when there wasn’t an option, as soon as he got to the halfway line, he launched it - clearly under instruction not to go past halfway.
That said, under Keane, he and McAuley formed a pretty decent CB pairing. |  |

It took an injury crisis to play the known centre back Damian Delaney at centre back, though. | |

Not strictly in terms of results (that remains Jackie Milburn). However, the damage he did in taking a club not far from the play-offs under Magilton to the brink of relegation, wasting Evans' budget for promotion and alienating players puts him right up there. Arguably it was he who set us on the path to League One. |  |

Under Keane we had a fantastic back four playing in a game.
Four CBs mind you. |  |

Yep. Hull I think away. 4CBs in defence and all four midfielders also preferred to play centrally too. For such a great player, he really was a clueless manager here. |  |

Hurst was Liz Truss to Famous Roy's Boris Johnson.
One was short-lived and did a lot of damage, it's true but the other one was an inepxlicably popular charlatan utterly unsuited to the job who did deep, long lasting hurt. | |

One thing he did get right was saying about the club's facilities and infrastructure were not up to the standard he expected and "massive work" was needed to make the club competitive again.
On reflection, if you look at the facilities and look of the place now compared to then, the massive work has been undertaken and is almost unrecognisable to how it was.
As a manager, he was still a shît fit for us though. |  |

He bought a house in Woodbridge, was often seen out walking his dog in the area
I remember there was quite alot of optimism at the time, a manger with a promotion record at EFL level, we hadnt ever had a manager where the media just sent people to ask him questions, not about Ipswich, just there to speak to Roy
But he couldn't get the team to play how he wanted, wasted money on players and had zero patience, so the results were generally dire. Even when we played well in a game hd a stupid knack of letting in goals after the 80th minute onwards and losing so many games.
And the guy has never suffered fools gladly and probably felt he was surrounded by them.
I think Jewell was worse | | | |

As a club we've had darker time since but despite all the rough years and some terrible managerial appointments between Keane and McKenna he is the worst manager we have ever had.
Ruined a team that was a tweak or 2 away from at least making the play offs.
Sacked off a really good right back so we could sign Darren O'Dea on loan, directly leading to a lack of recognised RB for years and us playing Carlos Edwards there for far to long.
Telling KD to f off from the training ground.
Just a massive bell. |  |

It's a close run thing but the Famous One was better at pressers than he was managing, made mostly bad signings, played bad football, couldn't coach, pick a team or set tactics and fell out with his players and took us on some ridiculously long winless runs. Everyone who following him has done SOME of those things, Well Said Roy did them all.
For what it's worth, I'd have Hurst and The Fraud at joint second, then Cook then Jewell. [Post edited 7 May 14:08]

Hand on heart I remember a particular midweek game and the poor lad couldnt even keep the ball in play. Me and my group still mention this from time to time as the one of the worst individual performances we have ever seen from a professional. Never expected him to go on and have such a decent pro career, fair play to the lad. | | | |

A mate of mine bought Keane's Woodbridge pad after he left and it went up for sale.
Surprised the survey didn't find any bodies under the patio.
Wasn't there a rumour that he initially wanted to build a house in Aldeburgh when he first arrived but neighbours complained about it? | |
