7 Worst EVER Premier League Managers

thats not true...he has actually a really big knowledge pool. Its just football is HUGE. and he doesnt just focus on the Premier league like you most likely do. He really likes the Bundesliga per example and really knows a lot about it cause if you like him GO to matches then the Bundesliga is just incomparable to any other league so he fell in love with it at dormtund. Knows lots about La liga too...and EVEN SMALLER leagues like Eredivisie etc.

Frank Lampard is the embodiment of "You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain."

[@FuncleB]

Hahaha spot on that

[@parker-ii7fg]

I think he did well at Derby in his first season, but he should have remained there for at least another season, or cut his trade at another championship club, gaining that crucial experience before making the move to an EPL club. While he was a great player (arguably the central figure in that iconic Chelsea team of the mid to late 2000s) one year in senior management was too soon to make such a big move, and unfortunately it seems as if his managerial career has been on a gradual downward trajectory ever since.

Everton were in a relegation battle last season under Benitez and had the worst form in the Premier League when he got sacked. Lampard came in and kept them up. This season he was sacked when they were 19th and Sean Dyche who's a survival specialist came in. They're still 19th.

Yeah, appointing de Boer and then buying no players for him wasn't our finest hour. Allegedly, the speed of the sacking had more to do with his attitude behind the scenes than results though. Among other things, he supposedly sent a very popular senior squad member to train with the youth teams after telling them that was their technical level. Didn't go down too well...

[@stevencooke6451]

Four games is not much of a sample. Though DeBoer has been terrible in other places too.

[@rorrt]

I support Palace.. Not our finest hour.. There should have been red flags when he said "I plan on playing a 3-4-3" a great traditional Dutch formation.. You need legs to play that formation. There was a TIFO football about De Boer and Van Gaal. Basically, both managers came unstuck trying to do the same thing. But Van Gaal had much much much more expensive players at Man Utd... Not Jordan Mutch running around in circles..

Dear alfie, Canny video as always👍 Delighted that you included Carver the Charver in your video👏The toon had some awful managers under Ashley(Hippo heed, Pardspew, Joke-in-ear, Wally in the brolley, cabbage heed) but Carver the Charver was the worst😱🤮 Thankfully, those dark days are behind us - Howe-ay the Lads😁😍😎👏👍💪✊ Regards,

[@paulguise698]

Hiya Marcus, have you subscribed to The Toon Review, Paul "Ditchey" Ditchburn (plus guests) content is really good if your a Newcastle fan, theres live streams every night besides Monday and Daily News bulletins if any news comes out about signings

As a Chelsea Fan, the Frank Lampard Managerial Saga has been Painful to Watch ever since his Departure from Derby County …. 🤷🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️. ⚽️

[@areebsiddiqui758]

He did a great job in his first season at Chelsea and kept Everton up last season. And after sacking him they're not any better under Dyche so he wasn't the problem. But yes, he shouldn't have come back to Stamford Bridge. It's been a disaster.

[@coyh1493]

That’s one of your funniest videos Alfie, in case you missed it, Thogden and Thogdad have an incisive video on the best/worst third kits, amazing journalism... Have you considered a video on ... Ex Watford managers, where are they now? However to condense this into 30 odd minutes, may be a push.

[@mashiah1]

Why Avram Grant is not in the list? I guess the only one that relegated with two teams - Portsmouth and West Ham(that had a squad worth European qualification). Yes he reached Champions League final with Chelsea, but it was thanks to his assistant

[@BOABModels]

He was a great manager for Portsmouth - we had a points deduction due to administration, no money to spend. Grant wasn't there the whole season BUT got us to the FA cup final. We only lost 1-0 to League winners Chelsea as well.

[@alanmtbuk]

I'm here for Derby County and Phil Jewell

[@Roundholesinsquarepegs]

@@alanmtbukPaul not Phil

[@alanmtbuk]

@@Roundholesinsquarepegs oops my bad and he wasn't even on this list lol

[@Lythgoemania]

Grant only did a bad job at West Ham. He did fine enough at Chelsea and took an administration stricken Portsmouth to the FA Cup final.

[@goooooooogle6834]

this is the best introduction to a video anyone has ever done

[@PassivesAbseits]

Remind me to never get on Alfies bad side... the shots he's firing are insane.

[@cowboy8968]

Funny how often I disagree with you but absolutely love that you’ve called out Thog

[@Luggoloco]

Thogden is the most unlikable football KZbin I’ve ever seen tbf

[@gooddypm]

Don’t watch then.

[@yasin_GD]

Can you do a video on the biggest overachievers in management?

[@carlosbarton763]

Ironically including Ranieri in a video like that would actually make a ton of sense 🤣

[@Killer1984able]

Tuchel

[@JohnBoyBeattie]

Great video as always.

[@orbee1873]

You are a massive fan of Thogden I'm guessing

[@samkim7543]

I do have to admit thogden is overheated. Yeah his football knowledge is not the best, but he makes quality content. His football vlogs are class and helps viewers embrace football culture from every parts of the world ranging from the ultras in Germany to Morocco to saudi arabia and more. He goes to a lot of derbys like the old firm, Milan, London, etc , watched a lot of champions league ties, went all the way to morocco after falling in love with them in the world cup to watch their clubs, watched a lot of europa league, watched every world cup match, and he makes sure to film every minute of it. Even after all this he makes sure to watch his own club back in league one and films his experience there. The vast difference of the football matches he goes really makes me appreciate the amount of work he puts his videos into.

[@soundscape26]

Couldn't have said it better.

[@Chefkejr]

5:00 2 losses and one defeat is the kinda wordchoice I'd go for if I need my essay to reach a minimum ammount of words

[@lanjieke]

I see what you did at 5:00. Gotta love good old English humour.

[@richardpearce4988]

Am not a Gerrard fan as a manager, but I think he deserves some credit in the SPL for bringing in a really good assistant coach, and being pretty upfront about the fact he needed him at Rangers to account for his own shortcomings and experience - in a way this is a sign of a good younger manager. However he really wasn't great in the EPL, this is true. If he'd showed the same humility and kept a good mgt team around him, he might still have a job somewhere.

[@ezraezra2928]

Fun Facts: 1.The shortest Premier League managers right now is happen to be Spurs' Cristian Stellini, who only managed in 4 games for 30 days with the club. However, his departure was even shocking because of the fact he was an interim manager. Frank Lampard might join as well if he failed to prevent the relegation for Chelsea. 2.If Chelsea and Everton ended up being relegated, Frank Lampard will be the second only manager in an English top flight football to do so for just single season. The other one was former Celtic legend Billy McNeill, who did this with Manchester City and Aston Villa back in 1986-87. 3.The only club to had a multiple manager changes in one season was Schalke 04. They had 5 different managers back in 2020-21 (David Wagner, Manuel Baum, Huub Stevens, Christian Gross, Dimitrios Grammozis). The club also endured the worst ever season, with only 3 wins and had the longest winless streaks.

[@triple-bee_33beast13]

Can you do a video about the Rise and Fall of South African Football. They were AFCON champions in 1996 now they can not even qualify. They had players in Premier League the likes of Lucas Radebe now not a single player

[@MikoyanGurevichMiG21]

Don't forget the legend and arguably their GOAT - Steven Pienaar!!

[@archaicrapture]

Benny Mccarthy.

[@flippindeadly]

Thought Sherwood and Kean would be nailed on in this one.... Great stuff as always though 🙌🙌🙌💯💯💯

[@sparkymlarky]

Thogden is to football........what Diane abott is to mathematics.

[@oliverapex7924]

Diane Abbot graduated from Cambridge…where did u graduate from?

[@sparkymlarky]

@@oliverapex7924 Cambridge teachers obviously need sacking then

[@MrBourlingueur]

This is useful motivation for my continuing struggles in Football Manager.

[@nathanb286]

Surely Scott Parker was a worse manager than Steven Gerrard

[@Lythgoemania]

I genuinely don't even think Parker would have done as bad with Villa as Gerrard did

[@ShaunHopkinsAVFC]

Gerrard was terrible. Look what Unai Emery has done with basically the same Villa squad. Slippy G was clueless

[@PhathokuhleButhelezi-i3u]

2 losses and one defeat lol
