POLL : Who is the worst Rovers manager whose name begins with “I”?

[Guy N. Cognito]

Still not sure what the venerable John Williams was smoking when he took leave of his senses to headhunt Paul Ince. He said he wasn't following a model of ex-United star turned manager, so in that case, what was his rationale? 

Even in his preliminary press conference Ince looked woefully out of his depth and was shitting bricks. It's compounded by the fact we turned down Michael Laudrup because he wanted a get-out clause.

Not old enough to remember Iley, so has to be Ince for me. Woefully out of his depth. The only positive of his tenure was that we acted fairly swiftly in ending it when it was obvious things weren't going to get better.

The fact we're having this debate speaks volumes!

I was too young to remember Jim Iley, so for me it's Ince. But, hold my beer........

Ah thanks for reminding us about that - as a football fan that was outrageously funny but as a rovers fan it was awful 

 

I don’t rate rate VI much at all but he seems to be yet another yes man who won’t challenge them lot and just gladly walk us in to relegation

it’s depressing thinking we have had so many terrible coaches under this regime 

Even more depressing, the ones that were good were forced out, quit cos they could not stand the shit shiwnthat was Venkies and their monkies.
