Claude Anelka. Admittedly, more brother of a celebrity than actual celebrity. Invested money into Raith then appointed himself manager. Resigned after one draw and seven defeats from eight games.

Roy Keane? Lasted a bit longer at Sunderland and Ipswich then some of the others but seemed to run on "buy ex-manure players" really, especially at Sunderland.

Has only ever managed for one season and won the cup. Doesn't seem to be that much of a disaster.
