Bump - in case anyone hasn't voted yet.

It's OK, Timmy has told us that SISU have guaranteed the funding. Mind you, last summer he told us that they'd guaranteed funding for 3 years, but then after Xmas, liquidation was "inevitable", so I'm not sure what happened to that lot of funding. Hmmmmm

Neil Martin Tommy Hutchison (obviously) Bill Glazier Chris Cattlin Roy Barry Terry Yorath Ferguson and Wallace And the list goes on.....

Tommy English had the unenviable task of trying to take over from Ian Wallace. JH was always a bit ahead of his time. Mostly it worked for him, but sometimes it didn't. He certainly had his moments of unpopularity while he was Chairman. He made me cry when I heard that Dennis Mortimer...

Yes we lost a lot of money on Detroit. I think that Collier went to Portland.

Well obviously they offered it to me! :) I chose Price Waterhouse though. A few years later they merged. I always assumed that the merger was Coopers attempt to finally get me to work for them........

A year or so after we signed Collier I was being interviewed for a job with Coopers, the accountants. The partner was a Bristol City fan ( well, to be fair, the job was in Bristol) and the whole 90 minute interview was spent discussing Collier's transfer and its ramifications.

And Collier was the first player to move under freedom of contract! I think we at least got our money back on him when he went to the States.

That must have been in the first game of the season when he made his debut alongside our other big summer signing - Gary Collier!

Hadn't heard that - it did make me chuckle.

That simply can't be true. Anyone who's listened to Timmy knows that we need all our income streams to fund our push for the Champions' League.

Don't listen to Wingy - me and the boys ave got our eyes on you!! :)

True. Think he sometimes suffered from being seen as "Phil Neal's favourite". I'm sure there was a story going round that they were related by marriage, but I have no idea if that was true. We've certainly seen a lot worse wearing the Sky Blue though!

He also scored twice when we beat Blackburn 2-1 at Highfield Road to make Man Utd Champions.

I think that Darby was the first signing, then Ally Pickering and then Marsden on loan. You may be right that there wasn't much time between them. I remember Darby being in the stands to watch us play at Oldham in a League Cup game (we lost and Roy Wegerle was sent off for arguing with the...

He is trying very hard to be honest with the fans He is going a marvellous job I think that any comment would be superfluous.

If we did, the other one escapes me. I remember we were pretty hard up at the time (plus ca change....), but think we spent £250k on Sandy, who never really made the grade. At least he cost us less than Kevin Drinkell.

Agreed - Marsden was superb in the few games he played for us. Neal did sign Julian " He tackles so hard, he gets a red card" Darby, but that was a month or two before we took Marsden on loan. Sad thing is I remember all this vividly, but couldn't tell you the score in half of last...

Don't get me going - we had Chris Marsden on loan and Phil Bloody Neal spent his transfer kitty on Sandy Bloody Robertson! Moron! I remember Robertson's debut, at home to QPR (well, I'm fairly sure). We were awful. As we gave the ball away again, a guy behind me shouted "Where's the...

Though to be fair, after the great Colin Stein, did we ever get a decent player from Rangers?
