    Top 3 is easy - the 3 above are the gold standard.

    Bottom

    I'd probably agree with these 3 as well.

    2 Man U Shills and a Bindipping shill.

    Souness quickly fell out with a number of players, including Welsh international Craig Bellamy, who left the club to join Blackburn, after being loaned out to Celtic. Laurent Robert, Olivier Bernard and Jermaine Jenas were also reported to have left the club on bad terms with Souness.

    He got rid of dedicated quality players & Jenas (haha) on bad terms.

    Then gave Rangers ?8million for Jean-Alain Boumsong. Basically giving his old club a nice big pay day.

    Bruce - not just the results, but, the everything around the man, the attitude the hatred of the club, the joke training sessions 2 days a week. Absolute part time circus.

    Speaking of Circus' Good old SCHTEEEEVE McClown. (see what I did there)
    Fatso decided to give this bald patch shyt show a seat on the board of directors of NUFC when making him manager and gave him ?90million to spend on players.

    So Dumb.

    Top 3 undoubtedly
    Keegan
    Sir Bobby
    Howe

    Although, if Rafa had been backed, I think he?d have done miracles? but Ashley, the ever shrewd businessman, realised he didn?t need to spend any money with Rafa in charge!!!

    Bottom 3? Quite possibly any other manager in between them!

    I?d say,
    Gullit - who died by his own sword

    Bruce - totally out of his depth? made worse by the media love in though

    And then, the best manager in the league? no, not Allardyce, Carver!!! Just for saying that

    Although special mention to Dalglish for replacing Ferdinand, Ginola and Beardsley with Rush, Barnes and Jon Dahl Tomasson.

    For being just, well, sh*t as a manager in every aspect: Bruce. I am flabbergasted every time he gets a new gig. Do club owners do no research before hiring?, is he cheap? I just dont get it.

    I agree with your top three, and on the fringe for 4th, Joe Harvey, a good old fashioned manager of his time. But it's disgusting that a club like this should have so many vying for a bottom three place, I'd offer in the mix also, Phartdue, Dogleash and Gullit

    Top 3 - nailed straight on Zip.

    Bottom 3 - Schteve, Bruce and Guillet.
