    Joe Cole agrees deal with Tampa Bay Rowdies

    Similar, but definitely worse here, given the overall lack of football knowledge throughout the club. Only Stuart Campbell (coach) and Perry Van Der Beck (assistant GM) have a real, in depth knowledge of the game. And it's Cambell's first managerial gig.

    Their best player by a country mile is Tamika Mkandawire, who Rick signed from Shrewsbury.

    Joe Cole agrees deal with Tampa Bay Rowdies

    I watched Carl Cort finish his career there. Cringeworthy.

    Joe Cole agrees deal with Tampa Bay Rowdies

    The setting is as good as it gets. The standard of the NASL is dreadful. I'd put it at League 2, at best. Al Lang is a repurposed baseball stadium with an average fanbase of 4,000. The owner knows nothing about the game, and nor do his advisers. There's an openly stated one year plan...

    Worst CCFC Team - Manager

    Strachan wasn't the worst, even if you take in to account the quality of players he worked with, and their value in monetary terms. You need not look further than Thorn, who was a non-manager. And Butcher, if you want a runner-up.

    Worst CCFC Team - Manager

    Strachan was not the worst, but did lose his way with us....especially given he had a wedge of parachute money to spunk away...which he did. I don't think anyone would challenge the opinion that; towards the end of his tenure, we played some utter garbage football. Giving his son Gavin 16...

    Worst CCFC Team - Strikers

    Lee Mills was initially on loan from Pompey. During his first game at HR everyone sang 'Sign him up, sign him up, sign him up'. We did. And, after that, he was crap. But he was not the worst. Lightbourne was clueless

    This was my era . what was yours ?

    Same as Drinkell the following year. However, Bannister was a far better striker imo.

    This was my era . what was yours ?

    I thought Bannister, while not prolific like elsewhere, did okay for us.. Edit to add: Just looked myself: 11 in 42 during his second spell.

    Some American's are horrified that Police officers are expected to enter in to combat unarmed. Well, I guess, unless it's for 'fun'... :o

    You can't tell eff all from that video, other than there's a couple of coppers grappling with a handful of people and a bunch of morons trying to get down to the lower tier for a ruckus...

    This was my era . what was yours ?

    The Dell was a great little ground but, like you said Torch, the away terrace was pitch level. Remember a great game we won 3-2 there, Don Nardiello scored the winner. Think I remember him playing for West Midlands Police ....funnily enough
