I'll give you the last 3, but Holloway has done well to be fair to him, and he's never had big money.

 Holloway has had a LOT more sucess than Freedman, so why isn't Freedman on your list?

Hardly fair to compare someone who's been managing since 96 (wikipedia) with someone who has been a manager for like 4 years, if that.

Sir Alex. Jose mourinho. Utterly shite

 But Holloway has only been really successful at Blackpool, anywhere else he's been mediocre.

Dougie re-built Palace after administration into a good side, when you look at the work Dougie has done you have to consider what sort of position Palace where in.

Paul Ince.

Then you should put Rioch into your list, because he was only successful at Bolton.

I'd agree with Kennster about Holloway, overrated by a lot of people just because he's a clown in the media. Landed on his feet with the Palace team, taking over a side ready for promotion (thanks to Dougie). He nearly fucked that up too, Palace fans were slating him before they scraped through the play offs, can't say I think much of his signings this summer.
 
Did a decent enough job at Blackpool without a huge amount of money, but he that's the one major achievement of his career, and he couldn't keep them up.

This is a thread about crap managers who keep getting jobs, not average managers who keep getting jobs.

Holloway started at Bristol Rovers in the relegation zone and kept them up. He then lead them to 7th and a 5th place play-off place. All after having to sell half the first team and having no cash or even a ground to call their own. Can't really call that crap can you.

He went to QPR, who were in the bottom 3 at the time, but couldn't keep them up. Two seasons later he got them promoted back to the Championship, then steadied the ship and kept them mid-table in that division.

He then went to Plymouth and kept them in the Championship for two seasons (no mean feat) before attracting the interests of Leicester. Incidentally it should be noted that Plymouth have been a disaster since he left.

Leicester, even by his own admission, was a disaster.

No one can say he didn't do a good job at Blackpool. Took them from Championship fodder to the Premier League. And while he couldn't keep them up, they did play some good attacking football and plenty of good managers have been relegated from the PL.

Not a great manager, but on limited budgets he's got the best out of average players while managing to play entertaining football.

I wasn't saying he's crap just overrated, average at best really. I'll give you Bristol Rovers as a good job, but the rest of what you've said just supports what I'm saying.

He's better than average. He did great things keeping Plymouth in the Championship for two seasons, ditto getting Blackpool into the PL.

And while Freedman built the CP team, it's not easy to step into a new team and keep things going to gain promotion.

I think you should give me this one.

Phil Brown
Nigel Worthington
Brian Laws
Aidy Boothroyd
Chris Coleman

I don't Brian Laws should be put into the bracket just for what he did at Scunthorpe alone, laid the foundations for Nigel Adkins to be successful there.

I despair with Bolton fans and their short memories. Three years ago, the first name on this thread would have been Gary Megson. Nearly a day on, somebody's yet to mention the ginger toerag.
