However I doubt Coz whatever errors he made in the end will come anywhere close for this nomination.

I can't recall the Docherty years.
But perhaps there's a sentimentality here. The manager that has to break or rebuild from a great side tends to be hugely unpopular and under pressure from the get go.

For this reasons, I'd have to go for Jewell. Now I did see some of your games under him, and so poor were the displays that I thought some of the teams we were playing in League 1 (yes Forest were there at the time), would thrash you.

Docherty aside I also recall Addison's time and a certain Philip Brown. Nothing much to crow about there...
That bit in blue is very true, however, I would point you to the sentence in my TD post in which I repeat a sentiment from him in one of his books stating that he got it wrong by doing too much too soon in the rebuild. Many Rams fans made that point while he was still manager.

Looking at your first statement, that is oh so true and the greatest manager never to manage England was guilty as charged at the CG IMO.
