Worst ever decisions by City managers

[Crossie]

Theres a similar thread on Bluemoon at the moment, quite interesting and always good to reminis.

I'll start with Alan Balls decision to sell Flitcroft
Peter Reid not playing Clive Allen enough
Keegan falling out with Berkovic

[btajim]

Joe Royle signing players like George Weah? Or just packing a Premiership Squad with Defenders like Spencer Prior?

Ben Haim wasn't Hughes' finest moment, either.

[Blue Blood]

Keegan signing Fowler over Pauleta.

Pauleta who went on to be top scorer in France for 4 or 5 seasons after we passed him up for Robbie... doh!

[Florida Blue]

Pearce's first "big buy" Samaras

Taskkin's first "big buy" Jo

Hughes paying up for RSC since his ONE year career got Hughes the City job

Abu Dabi's first "big buy" Robinho

Mancini's buying of Vierra, oh wait he was free... and he did well with AJ.. jury still out.

Was Robinho not our Top Scorer in 08/09? Yes, he was solar powered at times and he's almost definitely not going to play for City again - but it was a welcoming gift from our new Owner that acted as a good publicity stunt, too.

Typical City to break the British Transfer Record yet no-one to give a toss when he leaves on loan after 18 months!

Reid selling Hendry and buying Vonk. From there began our decent.

[Socrates]

hughes selling dunne i think is up there i think, treated him harshly and then got treated harshly, what goes around comes around...

Thats only a minor one though there have been some terrible ones over the years, swapping david white for rocastle i thought wasnt a great move, selling quinny to sunderland aswell.

Hughes not subbing Dunne against Hamburg last season, was clear to everyone what was going to happen.

Buying Jo- not sure who takes the biscuit for that one.

Alan Ball refusing to play Tony Coton. ( was it Alan Ball)

Mancini for not going at Man U and Arsenal esp the Arse. Could have been such a diff outcome.

Not really a managers decsion but letting Kevin Horlock go out the back door for me was not a great move by the club, the guy deserved a proper fairwell.

[Goaters 103]

[Manx Blue]

Signing Rodney Marsh when we were on the Cusp of a third title.

[Blue Blood]

[Florida Blue]

[Original Dub]

Not going for it when we had United on the ropes and we were at home.

I think we would have gone on to win our first trophy for a fucking age, had we gone for one more goal at Eastlands.

I'm just getting over it now.....

[Sister of fu]

[Chinners]

Alan Ball telling the players to keep it in the corner against Liverpool (2-2) with 10 mins to go ...

[Grob]

Most of Frank Clarke's decisions

[Buffalo Soldier]
