T5. Iain Dowie – Charlton Athletic – 12 Premier League games
Iain Dowie took charge of Charlton Athletic at the start of the season in 2006.
Dowie was given enough funds to buy players and brought in Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and Scott Carson on loan that year, but unfortunately he was unable to stop the disastrous start to the Premier League season.
Despite guiding the team to the quarter finals of the League Cup, he was unable to lift his team out of the relegation zone which put the final nail in his coffin at The Valley.
After only 12 Premier League games in charge of Charlton, Dowie parted companies with the club in November.
