I would say Gordon Milne was quite successful. He was manager for nigh on 9 years and we very rarely were in trouble. He did well keeping us in the top league for so long..
Under Milne we finished;
19th, 16th, 14th, 14th, 19th, 7th, 10th, 15th.
Yep.
I have always voted no previously and backed him and said let's see where we are just after Christmas.
Well, here we are and we are still a mess of a side.
Has to be yes I'm afraid.
I also would like to add, it's not just quite so simple as just supporting the team.
Don't really want to speak on behalf of people, but I think there needs to always be a degree of hope and a light at the end of the tunnel for fans to grasp on to.
I go up and I don't mind us losing as long as...
Fair enough, but it was the owners who brought Pressley in and the owners who allowed him to bring in the players he has brought in.
Sisu can very much do something about who manages the team and trying to get a winning side out there on the field of play.
Fleck who never scores? What we need is an attacking midfielder who actually contributes to our goalscoring totals. I do agree with the general sentiment of the thread though.
Which new year though?
If they ever were to build a new stadium, by the time it is built I think it would be very wise to make it a 5,000 capacity at best.
Pressley is doing a good job. A good job of continuing our slide into oblivion.
If you are not blaming the Ricoh then maybe you shouldn't have titled your thread 'Fortress Ricoh!' ;)
Unless of course Pressley called it Fortress Ricoh. :D
We're a poor side and the manager is really struggling to implement anything like a semblance of a regime here. Let's not fall for the smokescreen of it being down to the Ricoh Arena.
We've been poor with higher crowds and poor before the pitch cut up too.
We did. Went to Potters Green Junior School and Woodway Park.
Maybe you know some om my mates, John Hewitt, Poolie, Dougie Cox, Gez Teeling, Tim Miles, Stephen Kaye, Scott Jordan? We all lived on the Potters Green estate.
I had a mate who lived in Yewdale and then another who lived in Milner Cres, just off Yewdale, but I actually lived in Ringwood Highway. My auntie lived on Woodway Lane.
I maybe might know you then somehow. Aren't you the bloke who bottled out of getting to know the strippers?
