I've gone for Butler as well.

Blimey. When we see the final line-up we'll probably want to head for the canal.

It's shaping up nicely isn't it? 🤐

I'll make sure there's a health warning on the final article!

Butler.

My guess is he got all the over 50 vote and is the worst manager we ever had. 90% of votes were probably fans who never witnessed the disaster that was Butler. I suspect most who were old enough to see it still shiver at the memory.

Butler had never even managed before when he took charge of us !

He was made assistant to the snake Bobby Smith who then jumped ship after only 6 months (and a relegation) in charge and Vale as usual took the easy option and gave the job to Butler.

Even by Vale’s standards Butler’s promotion to manager after only 6 months as assistant manager was quite remarkable !

Was butler honestly worse than gannon? I'm not old enough to remember butler but in the short time Gannon was here he caused mayhem.

Gannon was an odd ball and crap  with us for sure. But I wouldn't have voted for him. He was never allowed to bring in his own staff. And didn't get us actually relegated. Brown and Butler were way worse.

It was Gannon. He would have had us relegated given any longer. The guy took us from certain promotion to utter chaos in a few weeks with dire results and performances. 
 

I have never known such a ridiculous state of affairs as the team bus incident and him having a go a Grew and Horsfield was just plain stupid. 
 

He was also, from day 1 completely aloof and utterly disengaged with the fan base. I will never forget his ridiculous personal website that reeked of disgusting self importance. 
 

It was certainly the point where it was the end for Bratt and Valiant 2001. Gannon’s stuff up created that, as had he been half way decent, a promotion would have occurred and Bratt surely would have clung on with the goodwill that created. 
 

So not all bad...

Who on earth would Gannon have brought in to have made that situation better?
