#4 Les Reed (41 days, Charlton Athletic)
Reed’s tenure at The Valley proved to be catastrophic for the club. They were eliminated from both the Cups by lower league opposition. Their 2006 Carling Cup campaign was cut short, thanks to a defeat at the hands of League two outfit, Wycombe Wanderers at home.
The six week debacle also saw them lose to Tottenham twice, 5-1 and 3-0. These run of fixtures cemented their position in the relegation zone and ultimately saw them go down. They are yet to return to the top flight of the English football hierarchy.
Reed was replaced by Alan Pardew, who has clearly managed to consolidate his career in the Premier League. He is now a Executive Director with Southampton FC, following a managerial stint with Conference South club, Bishop’s Stortford.
He also spent time as the Director of Football at Fulham; his most notable addition was that of Chris Smalling. Reed recruited him from Non league side, Maidstone United.
Sacked on Christmas eve, Reed was also wrote a book title, “The Official FA Guide to Basic Team Coahching,” sadly his expertise wasn’t enough to help the addicks survive the drop.
