Wilder turned us down? When was this? I think you may have got it the wrong way round. In fact he hawked himself to us when Robin's left and he was manager of Oxford before leaving them for Northampton. After doing well there he got the Sheffield Utd job but I don't think he was ever linked to...

Remember when Pressley's decision to watch games from the stands was one of the most controversial things we had to worry about?

David Flitcroft. Bury fans wouldn't believe it. Slade or if possible Jackett for me.

Well that alone ought to disbar his candidature. The last thing we should look for in a manager is being popular with the players. They need shaking up - the shitstorm of our ownership is letting quite a few of them off the hook.

But what on earth makes you think that this would be the trigger to SiSU going? All logic dictates they should have tired of it by now. The fact that they are still here suggests to me that they'd still be here if we were in the Conference.

I've no idea. Neither do you

He WAS experienced though at getting Middlesbrough to the top of the table twice and failing to make the play offs. He kept telling us this. Remarkable then that he never seemed to reflect on why this happened twice (and then a third time). If Jackett was available (and resigning from...

Slade's last three jobs have been:- Leyton Orient Cardiff Charlton It's not as if he's frightened of taking over at a club whose owners have a poor reputation

Getting out of this league might not be a problem for the manager this year

The very reason I hate them. Growing up in Leamington in the 1970s/80s if you went to football you either supported us or the Vile. If you didn't you probably supported Liverpool, Manchester United or Leeds.

Amazed that no one has said he made a terrible team selection to start the match against Chesterfield

Except when it was David Bell?

Still can't believe I've just found out Capt M is called Norman

Obvs the cup final but apart from that;- January 1998 Bolton 1 Coventry 5 - from one nil down to a twenty game unbeaten run in the league. Man Utd 0 Coventry 2 in league cup - -Leon Best schools Gerard Pique for 90 minutes 1999 Aston Vile 1 Coventry 4; George and John x2 narrowly edged out...

You do realise they're not actually bricks don't you?

Kevin Gallacher (who had an almost God-like stature at city in my view ) only spoiled his copy book once. Missed the first four games of the season after pulling a calf muscle trying to keep his flip-flops on while on holiday.

New levels of amateurism every game.

Agree with the OP. Obviously not going to defend the owners but the management team did sign a whole heap of players this summer. Most of whom couldn't possibly play together (and maybe some not at all) in the system they wanted to employ.
