That's what they are calling our former manager at the New Den after they extended their unbeaten run against Blackburn in mid-week by registering not a single shot - either on target or off. This gave them, in the modern parlance, an expected goals value of 0.00 - the first time this has happened in 2,649 Championship matches  |

They don't remember the five successive wins before the draw against Blackburn then?

And he's still out-doing our manager.
Not that I'd have him back.

Talked himself out of the job at Stoke but the board should have given him until the end of the season to redeem himself, would I have him back - no, did he spunk millions up the wall on shit players - yes, same can be said for his successor but then again they're just underdog managers that work OK with shoestring squads and don't have a clue how to handle the so called bigger named players. Gouranga.  |

That would have involved giving him another transfer window to add yet more clag to the squad and having to contend with the toxic atmosphere the heady brew of his witless, dire football and entirely charmless personality had created. Wasn’t an option. |

We can reflect on our relegation but for me he is the reason we are in this mess now re his shocking buys and massive loss of funds in that first season. We have never recovered his wastefulness.
I dislike him and hope we beat them on Saturday as it would be a small crumb of comfort!

The worst manager out of Lambert, Jones and MoN.

A good manager if given a small budget. Ideal for Millwall

he is literally the ronseal of managers. Millwall target of 65-68 points and just outside the playoffs this year would be my guess (plus or minus 5%). I also would not have him back.
Incidentally Millwall top scorer has 7 - if Rowett could get a 15+ goalscorer he could break the top 6.
lutons top scorer has 13, hence Luton are there or there about despite Mad Nath.
Only team with a top scorer under 10 goals in the top 6 is QPR (8) - likely they will drop off in last 10 games.

Incidentally, Millwall have drawn only two more games than us and let's face it, if we had the players and manager with the nous to have seen out games against Sheffield United, Millwall, Bournemouth, Derby, Preston, Fulham and Blackpool, we'd have blown "Drawitt's" record out of the water.

Yep, that's true. It's some stunt to get through an entire match though without a single shot on or off target you'd have to concede that much! That was my main point, it hasn't happened before in the entire history of the Championship so far as I am aware. |

When they saw the players he was interested in at the price we were being quoted someone should have stepped in at that point. Everyone one of them had a career that was stagnating or going backwards. I couldn’t give a fuck if he takes Millwall to the Champions League final, he set us back 3 or 4 seasons and his spell was more damaging in that respect than relegation itself……. |

They were too trusting and probably didn’t think of the consequences. You would have thought in a organisation the size they are would have had someone with some sense to pull the reigns in. Can’t fault them on one hand backing him but £50mil + was too much too soon. I also couldn’t give a fuck about rowett all in the past now. I do agree with you that the first season under him and Jones has defo cost us 4 seasons maybe more |

Has there been a more dislikeable Stoke manager than Rowett?
Lambert and Jones were equally inept but Rowett stands alone as the most objectionable manager the club has ever employed.
Kamara and all the other toss managers had redeeming features, Rowett was just fucking horrible.

A better manager than what came after him however that’s like saying I’d prefer having my hand chopped off rather than my arm. Both were terrible decisions and equally as painful at the club.

Given what we know about his ability and his character, you have to question who from our club sat in front of him, spent a short amount of time with him and thought "This is the man for us" ?
I appreciate interviews only give a snapshot but even so...
