Regis Genaux I also think KK's career suffered an agonising and painful death in real time as the home fans cheered his red card to the rafters (not our best moment admittedly)

Genius headline - 'take no post mortem'

Skyblueweeman - I think I can forgive you for for the Thompson error. But for saying "my bad" not so sure! :)

Agreed on the replacement SBD! I thought Dowie was rapidly running out of ideas though and the team was becoming painful to watch - although as you say in a long list of culprits "less so" is about right.

Eric Black Gordon Milne - although not sure why he left to be honest? Sillett - no way to treat a club legend and replacing him with Butcher was a disgrace

Mick Ferguson - icon. legend. and best ever comeback.

Allassani is very much on his way into this hall of fame.

Laughing out loud at the title - fantastic!

I hear you TTG! I’ve just never seen a keeper have such an immediate impact on the defence - or command the area so well. Your points are well made though and exactly why I began this thread.

very very decent that lot.

Not a bad shout but Fergie all day long for me.

Premier League players failing to score with slappers in the Pink Parrot - not sure how they could ever look in the mirror again to be honest. It defies belief. They will not be included in the Shagger's XI thread for sure.

great memory blind faith; but a number of that lot would be prime candidates for the worst loan XI of all time (and by worst I'm not just talking about City loans).

Capel & collindridge - I was there and Terry_dactyl is not far wrong. No one in the history of the world has conceded so many penalties in so few games. It had to be seen to be believed. We're not talking 50:50 or debatable pens either; Steve found unique and different ways of giving away...

As fans we sometimes go the other way. Hyping players up after a couple of appearances. Most dangerously if they are on loan and available for a few quid. Who can forget as an example, an ecstatic West Terrace loudly singing "SIGN HIM UP, SIGN HIM UP" for about 90 minutes after Lee Mills put...

Stockdale Duffy (legendary loanee) Chris Whyte (brilliant in his one game for us, 5-0 vs. Blackburn) McCallum Chris Marsden Walsh Maddison (admittedly useless on loan but I'm not going to miss out one of the Premierhship's biggest stars) Henderson Partridge (before McAllister's tactics ruined...

Followed by the even bigger suicide of appointing Jim Smith as 'advisor.' Who then recruited a whole coach load of his former players who destroyed the team. Just a shambles and would be comical if it hadn't actually happened.

Interesting stuff UpNorth - sounds like you might have had a few connections with the squad at that time?

Exactly right. I think Boateng emerged during McAllister's time out injured and the team actually improved. McAllister's improved form also coincided with the recruitment of Carlton Palmer. Speaking of which it was typical of the mismanagement of that time to spend big on players (such as...

From memory we paid £2 million+ and a huge amount (for the time) in wages. Richardson wanted to take a 'punt' all round on getting City into the big time - unfortunately he appointed the wrong managers to do so.
