The Vauxhall Tavern has been converted to student accommodation, so has the Brewer and Baker. The Binley Oak was a nursery for a while, but it is now a fireplace business. The fireplace business has a bit on their website about the history of the pub that mentions the football club.

Brambles Convenience Store now...

I agree with Baldy, it only counts as an appearance when the substitute player gets onto the pitch. Substitute appearances are generally classed separately to starting line-up appearances.

Therein lay the final insult. Wickes is in the retail park and when it set up the Company was run by Bill Archer. So... the ground was sold under dubious circumstances and one of the club's former owners has another business that sets up on the site.

Well researched. Of course, someone will probably come back wanting to see the original player contract or some other such nonsense.

Got you... I'll leave him to play by himself... I suspect he does a lot of playing with himself.

No, you've quoted data that provides an irrelevant comparison. Hill wasn't coaching the players or picking the team, nor was he managing the playing staff day to day - that was Sexton. It was Sexton that put together an appalling run or results as manager, not Hill. You're the windbag, mostly...

He's an absolute bellend, isn't he.

You're the desperate one. Asking for accounts to address a question on a football forum, meanwhile you make up absolute bollocks with absolutely no evidence to back it up at all. I was indifferent to you, but now I can see what an absolute prick you are.

Dave Sexton win rate at Coventry City = 31.25% Gordon Milne win rate at Coventry City = 34.40% Sexton's win rate at other clubs is hardly anything to write home about either, he's second bottom in a list of the last 10 Manchester United managers and he hardly fares well in a list of Chelsea...

You asked for an article, you got given a reference to one. You were wrong, as you so often are. Now stop making yourself look even more of a prick than you really are.

You are clearly illiterate, what does your meaningless babble even mean?

I seem to recall the rules on transfers in those days required settlement of fees before international clearance was granted. So your 'doubt' sounds like more supposition (in other words, more bollocks).

When one person thinks Grendel is a prick there's room for doubt, but when so many people think you are it becomes a certainty.

If you'd had an education you would be able to find things for yourself. Just to help you, I'll give you some clues.... try looking at the Birmingham Daily Post for 24 August 1979 and the Sunday People for 2 March 1980. I know you never saw either of them, so I should explain Gary Collier and...

You 'think' a lot of things, but you seem to be wrong most of the time.

People don't seem to realise that Gordon Milne arrived as 'Team Manager' before the 1972-3 season. I think the Joe Mercer thing confuses them. We paid £325,000 for Gary Collier (it was under 'freedom of contract' and was the first fee decided at tribunal). Bristol City then wanted to resign...

Collier was sold for £40,000 more than we paid for him. Bristol City wanted to resign Collier, but he chose to go to Portland Timbers who were managed by Don Megson (father of Gary and manager at The Gas when Collier was at Bristol City). These are things that were widely reported at the time...

Oh dear, grasping at straws again. In the 1960s, what age did someone gave to be contracted to a football club (even with parental consent)? How many apprentices made it as professional players? When did Oakey sign his first professional contract with the club?

Keep thinking of those goal scorers. As for the swerve off-topic, it seems there is always a lurking twat who wants an argument and to suck the fun out of everything.
