7 Worst EVER Premier League Managers 

Thogden is like watching someone who has spent 10 minutes reading the cliffs notes of a subject and suddenly thinks they are a expert in that subject

Frank Lampard is the embodiment of "You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain."

What an absolute tool how does Raneri even come to mind as one of the worst premier league managers ever😂

Lampard managed to get 2 clubs into relegation battle in the same season

With the Thogden banter here, we need a Worst Seven Football RU-vidrs :)

Alfie with World Class Banter for Thogden. In reality, you are a great football historian/amateur analyst. You've taught me a lot about the game that us American's don't get

Ranieri deserves respect. Sure he's no Ferguson, Mourinho, Wenger and Guardiola but he won the Premier League title with a bunch of championship/relegation fodder players. A feat that will likely never be repeated again in the Premier League.

Alfie's name segues **UPDATED** Without Freddy Adu (without further ado) Eddie Howe (anyhow) Wright ('right) Hoever (However) Watmore (What's more) Ndidi (indeed) Luke Shaw (sure enough) Will Still (still...)

Alfie on Siewert: “2 losses and 1 defeat”😂😂

Don't rule out Nathan Jones just yet. His contribution this season will be massive. He stopped Man City from winning a quadruple. A legend!

Yeah thogdon is insufferable tbf

Like how Alfie and the Irish Guy(Michael) both have had a go at Thogden.

"De Boer was replaced by Roy Hodgson, who was at that time only 103 years old" genuinely made me chuckle, great video!

You ripping into thogden is the best few mins I’ve seen in a while it was brilliant

Love the thogden part. Hate that prat

How on Earth is Steve Kean not on this list? When he got the Blackburn job they had competed in 17 of the 19 Premier League seasons, qualified for Europe on multiple occasions and were sat 10th when he took over. He ended up nearly getting them relegated by the end of that season, then actually did get them relegated the following season - never to return. The best job he got after his Premier League disaster after that was for a team in Borneo. He is on that list. 100%

After some little digs, I was wondering when you would actually do this on Thodgen. Not disappointed lmao

I avoid togdan at all cost..... was devastated yo see him turn up on here

Claudio Ranieri's story is quite remarkable. He did in fact have a disastrous spell with the national team of Greece in the qualifications for Euro 2016 where they ended rock bottom of the group, below Faroe Islands to whom they lost both games. After being sacked by Greece, he took over Leicester City & made history there!

I’m 2 minutes into the video & I can hear the pure contempt u have 4 Thogden, every time u utter his name😀

3 games 2 losses and one defeat Im dead😂😂

Gerrard had a 32 % win record with us. Absolutely woeful manager.

Yeah, appointing de Boer and then buying no players for him wasn't our finest hour. Allegedly, the speed of the sacking had more to do with his attitude behind the scenes than results though. Among other things, he supposedly sent a very popular senior squad member to train with the youth teams after telling them that was their technical level. Didn't go down too well...

A roast of Thogden that only you could do, thanks Alfie.

4:59 - 5:03 Two loses and one defeat 👀👀👀👀👀? How does that work?

How did Steven Kean at Blackburn not make this list? He single handedly turned a comfortable Blackburn Rovers team under Allardyce into relegation fodder in a season and a half and never lost his job even though the trajectory was down

If Nathan Jones isn’t on this list, I will be flabbergasted

As a Southampton fan I am 'glad' to see Jones on this list. Absolutely dreadful appointment that no one wanted and had us playing some of the worst football we've ever seen. Selles hasn't been any better but he had an almost impossible job to do.

No manager that won a league title with Leicester City could ever be on this list regardless of how they did elsewhere I mean the EPL was set up basically to stop that sort of fairytale from happening and shift the balance of power ever more towards the biggest and richest clubs so for Ranieri to break that stranglehold with Leicester is nothing short of amazing and will surely never be repeated and is among the greatest accomplishments in not only football but in sport in general and will forever be a legend for doing so

What a wonderful video and I really enjoyed the nice dunking on Thogden.

that joke about Roy Hodgson being only 103 years old got me good 🤣

MY GOD THE SHADE THROWN! is this how the RU-vid drama starts?

Pretty sure this is just an excuse for Alfie to do a Thogden-banter. Not that I'm complaining.

Oh man do I LOVE the smell of banter!

Your segment on Bob Bradley completely summarised the thoughts running through my head when you first said his name. I had completely forgotten he had ever been here, that he had walked among us, that he had shown us his soul.

Schedule thogden vs Alfie, the RU-vid fight we all need

I'd recommend the people who take cheapshots at Bob Bradley search for a documentary on his time as coach of the Egyptian National Team called "American Pharaoh". He led them to an undefeated qualifying campaign in the middle of a civil war and literally marched in the street with protesters. Of course CAF ended up screwing them over by not seeding them and they drew (IIRC) Ivory Coast when they were just about the top team in the region and lost out on WC qualification.

Those digs at Thogden are brilliant.

The 7 worst EVER RU-vidrs..... 1. Thogden 2. Thogden 3. Thogden 4. Thogden 5. Thogden 6. Thogden and....... 7. Thogden

The shade and banter against the fraud that is thogden is quality Alfie 😅

As a Villa fan i can agree with Gerrard's inclusion on here, without Beale Gerrard hasn't got a clue, he was just the face. Look at Villa under Emery with just 1 player of his own brought in other than that he basically has the same squad Gerrard did and we all know what happened from there.

Soon as I heard Terry Connor, I had a little "aww" to myself. Remember him being interviewed after playing City and relegation being confirmed, the poor lad was in tears.

Sometimes for a laugh on football manager, I make John Carver the Sunderland manager, Les Reed Real Madrid boss, Derek Ure the Arsenal boss, David Hockaday Chelsea boss, Robbie Fowler the Man Utd boss and Steve McClaren the Liverpool boss; just to see who lasts the longest. Derek Ure (of East Stirlingshire fame) actually won back to back titles with Arsenal on my most recent career. If I'm feeling extra devious, after they are sacked, I reappoint them to their post

Lampard’s last 20 games as a manager. 1 Win. 2 Draws. 17 Losses.

Good video Alfie. I do have to disagree with a couple of things. Steven Gerrard is a brilliant manager and was doing an outstanding job of taking Villa back down to the Championship. Sometimes owners, who usually know nothing about football, should just stay out of the way and let the Manager get on with things. And as for Sir Terry Connor. Well. A bona fide legend, along side Lord McCarthy. It was our 5-1 humiliation of Wolves, at Molineaux that season, that started their journey to League One. Even though they are in much better shape now, I remember those days fondly. Other Premier League Managerial legends, include, Sir Tim Sherwood, Sir Remi Garde< Sir Kevin MacDonald and Sir Eric Black. They all played their part in relegating Aston Villa in 2016. These are the crumbs of comfort for us West Brom fans that are now worrying about Administration, points deductions and League One. As for Ranieri. He must be one of the Top10 best managers in the Premier League history, so far, if you look at what he did at Chelsea and also what he did at Leicester.

3:26 one of the reasons why I think you are the best football content creator is your attention to important details. Instead of just starting with a short introduction to a cheap 5 minutes video you took the time to completely dunk on a different cc just because you could and wanted to do so. Also your essays on unknown topics are phenomenal so yeah 10/10 love from Berlin ❤

Finally someone mentioning Gerrard as a terrible manager

Thogden is the literal embodiment of 'any fan off the street' who could be bothered to post his hot takes to RU-vid

As much as I respect Daniel Farke for what he did with Norwich in the Championship, his Premier League record was not good. He made it there twice, managing 49 games. 6 wins, 8 draws, 35 losses. 31 goals for and 101 goals against. Out of a possible 147 points, he secured 26 for the Canaries, and opponents averaged 2 goals a game against Norwich. Again, I have so much appreciation for Farke, my favorite manager for Norwich, but this record speaks for itself.

Problem with Lampard is he should’ve started in the lower leagues before heading straight to the top it’s like being an apprentice and then immediately applying to be CEO

Day 15: best XI Brazilians that played for other nations

I've been looking forward to the next phase of the Alfie-Thogden beef ever since it was first teased, please do another one

Always great to hear how much of a drip Thogden is.

Keep up the great work

This is your best video yet. And that has nothing to do with the actual football content. Keep up the good work...(proper ellipsis) x

Thogden is the most unlikable football RU-vid I’ve ever seen tbf

Oh Alfie, Alfie, Alfie. As a Burnley fan can I remind you that Brian Laws took a mid table but safe looking Burnley to the championship losing 15/18 games in charge and showing no idea of understanding top flight management.

Thankyou for including gerrard. I’m sick of people ignoring how useless he was. Needs to build up a portfolio in league 2 before he deserves another chance at a decent sized job

That thumbnail is about to become a meme soon.

And to think that the only thing Lampard will be remembered as Chelsea manager is having put together the team that won the Champions League and having fought with Klopp's assistant when Liverpool lifted the Premier League

I was expecting Joe Kinnear over Carver, but unsurprised we had a manager in this. Carver was fortunate enough that other managers failed for longer periods, so he doesn't stick in the memory as much. He's either a decent man coach behind the scenes or has compromising photos of various people.

Never heard of Thogden and fortunately my RU-vid has never been poisoned by his presence.

Very interesting video man!

As an Everton supporter not surprised this opened up with Lampard, he definitely was allowed to stay on too long after the 21-22 relegation battle, leading to the 22-23 relegation battle. And then he failed upward getting the Chelsea job back and stinking up the joint there too. So often good players do not make good coaches.

I'm surprised that Scott Parker didn't get a mention. Having brought two teams into the PL via automatic promotion, his record at the higher level is abysmal. Apart from taking over Fulham at the end of 2019/20 (which accounted for 30% of his total PL wins), these were teams that he built, not inherited, so no excuses for taking on a dumpster fire of someone else's making. Played 53 won 10, drew 13, lost 30 for a win percentage of 19% and a points per game ratio of 1.23.

Frank de Boer, Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard are prime examples of being a great player doesn’t automatically translate to being a great manager

Great video as always.

❤vids keep em coming😎💪👊🏻

Thogden is to football........what Diane abott is to mathematics.

As a Palace fan I remember the Frank de Boer days quite well. Dark times, very dark times

Controversial? As a Villa fan I was watching in hope he made the list!

Didn’t expect you to absolutely rip into thogden in the intro ahaha love it

As a Chelsea Fan, the Frank Lampard Managerial Saga has been Painful to Watch ever since his Departure from Derby County …. 🤷🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️. ⚽️

I have never watched Thogden and on the basis of him putting my beloved Claudio in the awful list, i never will. On the topic of Claudio, can you do a 'what on earth has happened to Leicester City?!' video please. Going from title winners, FA Cup, community shield winners and Europa conference league semi finalists to a relegation scrap all within 7 years, is quite impressive. (7 years ago yesterday we won the PL - and now im sad).

Please make a video on the following topics: -The drama/scandal surrounding Gregg Berhalter and Gio Reyna’s parents during the 2022 FIFA World Cup -Ranking all of the goals that won the FIFA World Cup Goal of the Tournament Award -The Dortmund bus bombing in 2017 right before their Champions League Quarterfinal against Monaco -Breaking down the iconic "Battle of Nuremberg" Round of 16 Match between Portugal and the Netherlands in the 2006 FIFA World Cup where the referee issued a record breaking 4 red cards and 16 yellow cards (Battle of Nuremberg also set the record for most yellow cards in a FIFA World Cup Match and was broken in the 2022 FIFA World Cup when the referee handed out 18 yellow cards during that contentious quarterfinal between Argentina and the Netherlands) -Breaking Down the Battle of Bridge game in 2016 between Tottenham and Chelsea that not only secured Leicester City the 2015-16 Premiere League title, but also set the record for the most yellow cards given to a single team (9 for Tottenham (and 3 for Chelsea)

Dear alfie, Canny video as always👍 Delighted that you included Carver the Charver in your video👏The toon had some awful managers under Ashley(Hippo heed, Pardspew, Joke-in-ear, Wally in the brolley, cabbage heed) but Carver the Charver was the worst😱🤮 Thankfully, those dark days are behind us - Howe-ay the Lads😁😍😎👏👍💪✊ Regards,

a documentary of Borussia Dortmund and how they were extremely close to bankruptcy in 2002 time and how Bayern had to save them. The extreme difficulties the club has had to manage within to get back to where they are #thepeopleschannel

Can you do a video about the Rise and Fall of South African Football. They were AFCON champions in 1996 now they can not even qualify. They had players in Premier League the likes of Lucas Radebe now not a single player

That thogden diss is the best thing i have ever seen on this channel😂

Frank de Boer surely. After getting sacked in 2 months at Inter, came to Crystal Palace and got sacked after ONE month, having not scored a single goal.

2 losses and one defeat lol

7 best/worst/funniest own goals

Calling Ranieri a terrible manager because he failed to keep up Fulham and Watford, who would've still gone down even if they had Prime Ferguson in charge, is laughable.

Please please tell me that the Vue pictured was the one at Princess Quay which has to be one of my favourite cinemas 😊

Why Avram Grant is not in the list? I guess the only one that relegated with two teams - Portsmouth and West Ham(that had a squad worth European qualification). Yes he reached Champions League final with Chelsea, but it was thanks to his assistant

Surely Scott Parker was a worse manager than Steven Gerrard

Fantastic video. Thogden v HITC in the Ring (I'd pay to watch lol). I think I will stay with this excellent forensic analysis of footy that HITC does so well. For Daily Star readers...well what can I say!

Alfie mate!!! You are the goat of football journalism on RU-vid

Remind me to never get on Alfies bad side... the shots he's firing are insane.

Can you do a video on the biggest overachievers in management?

Even if you completely ignore his rubbish football knowledge Thogden is still insufferable to watch. How he gets 200k views a video is one of the world's great mysteries.

Lampard should attend coach courses before coaching top teams.

You are a massive fan of Thogden I'm guessing

Am not a Gerrard fan as a manager, but I think he deserves some credit in the SPL for bringing in a really good assistant coach, and being pretty upfront about the fact he needed him at Rangers to account for his own shortcomings and experience - in a way this is a sign of a good younger manager. However he really wasn't great in the EPL, this is true. If he'd showed the same humility and kept a good mgt team around him, he might still have a job somewhere.

Hi Alfie, I didn't pause it when you displayed the table at the point when Bob Bradley got sacked, there was a team below Swansea in the table but I didn't make out who it was. Could you tell me please? 😉

Gerrard was terrible. Look what Unai Emery has done with basically the same Villa squad. Slippy G was clueless

5:00 2 losses and one defeat is the kinda wordchoice I'd go for if I need my essay to reach a minimum ammount of words

Frank Lampard will be the first 007 manager ever. We’ve had 007 forwards never a manager.

Thogden put Ranieri in his list simply for the shock value to get people to click on his video 😂 The guy is a tool...

That Roy hodgson bit killed me
