Me and my mate like to have the odd chuckle at pointless managers (especially english ones) who are consistently praised for minor things such as 'experience' rather than results. Who are your pointless managers, then?
I'll start. Jimmy Calderwood.

I don't get this thread. No manager is pointless.

Ally McCoist. This guy has had the biggest sympathy vote ever.

Jimmy Calderwood done really well with Aberdeen I think, constantly up the top end of the table and had a European run with them. -
I think he means those that seem to be regarded higher than they should be.
Harry Redknapp. -
I believe you have just described Steve Bruce and Mark Hughes.

I don't think Arry ye know Redknapp should be considered a pointless manager.
He generally does quite well. -

There are hundreds of more pointless managers than him for me. He's been a success wherever he's gone. -
Outwith Scotland that isn't really anything of high note.

Big sam and Steve Bruce.
Have to be the most pointless managers about, whoring themselves out to any job whatsoever. -
Steve Bruce is a very good manager me thinks
Anyone see that video of big Sam laughing at the player who went down very easily? Was * class :56: -

About 10 consecutive finishes from 7th to 14th with Charlton, then he left and not long after they were in League 1.
Bolton, Blackburn and Newcastle were all relegated after Allardyce left.
Hughes led Blackburn to top 6 and 7 finishes, the Uefa Cup and 3 semi-finals.
Pointless managers are people like Tony Adams and Stuart Pearce.
Even * ones like Megson have done well for some teams. The worst managers soon get found out and either don't get another manager's job, or go work in Brunei like Steve Kean.
