Puel was much maligned as being too negative, but few people take into account the circumstances that season, he arrived to find one central defender wanting away in Jose Fonte demanding a transfer to Manchester United in a deal set up by his new agent in collusion with another client Joe Mourinho. By January he had lost not only Fonte in a transfer to West Ham but Van Dijk to injury, so he truly had to adapt his tactics to not only get us through the League cup semi final at Anfield, but the rest of the season. As Frannie says in terms of results, ie 8th in the League & a major cup final, this was not only perhaps our best season in the last 20 years but arguably in the top half dozen or so seasons in our history. You won't find many people giving him credit for that though, he lost the fans by playing a weakened team at Sparta Prague & Inter Milan, thus costing us a run in the Europa League |  |

And against Beer Sheva. He played Hesketh in midfield out there, if memory serves. |  |

Yes he actually played quite a strong side at Beer Sheeva, but Hesketh in midfield was a mistake and he was replaced after 35 minutes by Tadic. |  |

| Ranking Saints Managers over the last 20 years on 12:50 - Oct 29 with 384 views | SonicBoom | I don't know about exact timings but in order of teams I enjoyed watching the most I'd say Strachan, Koeman and Poch. As for the worst well plenty were forgettable. Even Jones wasn't here long enough to really annoy me. I hated the boring football played by Martin and I found Puel to be the least charismatic manager I've ever seen. |  | |  |

He was out of his depth on the field but, as unlike some of the other contenders, he was even worse when it came to representing the club off it. At times it really felt like we had a madman in charge. |  |

The coont took us down in 2005. And then pissed up our first season back in the Championship with stellar signings like Dennis Wise and Darryl Powell. |  |

Koeman Poch Adkins Just outside the 20 year bracket, but Hoddle had a bunch of mediocrity playing very well IMHO. |  |
