Much as I disliked Larry Lloyd at the time, he did have a promotion with Wigan under his belt before he joined Notts. After that he became the obese bar owner and loudmouth radio pundit many will remember him as, but briefly he was an actual manager. He may have been OK in the lower leagues but he was not suitable for what was then a top flight club.

So for me, SM is lower than Lloyd. He is on a par with Fullarton for being the most illogical appointment ever. The others at least had some pedigree, Howard Kendall especially.
