Who was the worst Premier League Manager?

Just wandering about your opinions on who was the worst manager in the Premier League since it began in 1992.

Would it be fair to say Ron Atkinson? I may be remembering wrong but didn't every team he managed get relegated?

Only one team Ron Atkinson managed in his Premier League days were relegated, that was Nottingham Forest. He saved Coventry and Sheff Wed from relegation with his management skill, so I don't think he deserves to be called "worst manager".

I'd rather say someone like Alan Pardew or Harry Redknapp. I think it's unfair to name managers with fewer matches than 50 as worst manager, managers with several hundred matches and an average of 35-40% win rate should be considered among the worst.

This list also includes managers from other leagues, but of all the managers with over 1000 matches on the list, Redknapp ranks pretty low down.

Brian Clough in the house. Just above Graham Taylor, who apparently didn't do well for England.

I think Rednapp got to have that many games because he was doing something right for the lowish level clubs he was managing. Tony Pulis is low on that list too, but is a good manager for teams fighting against relegation in English leagues. The worst manager is probably someone who hasn't lasted very long. Someone like Ince, Iain Dowie or Solskjaer. Stuart Pearce seemed pretty bad, but I'm not sure.

I don't think it's fair to put Clough in there considering what he did for Derby, Brighton and Nottingham before the formation of the Premier League. He only managed one team in the PL. A truly bad manager should have coached multiple different teams and failed at most of them.

Tony Pulis has my vote. Has done really nothing of significance.

Yeh, I definitely wasn't saying Clough was a bad manager, just pointing out that he was in that list, despite being a top manager.
