Bobby Gould is 71 today.
Do we think that means he'll stop putting his name in the hat to manage us again.

...until he sacked the latter, anyway.Gouldy and Shnozz, the "Dream team"!

Was that the Northampton season? I'd kind of let himself off a bit for that if so.and said he was supporting AFC Wimbledon against us in the Cup

tbf to him, his passion for the club always seems obvious to me. I'll also give him a free-ish pass for his second spell as manager, if not the first.
Have to say, his second spell. After Don Howe had a go, I was convinced we were proper doomed... but he managed to get us scoring goals, playing some attacking football. Then a bit later we got the walloping of Liverpool, and Villa. Fantastic stuff!Terrible manager. Hilarious but terrible.

Can't let him off the first spell, mind (although again he came up with a team after they all buggered off!), nor the crazy way he quit, but still think that spell immediately after signing Quinn is the most fun I've had supporting CCFC.
Very possiblyMost fun ever?
Christ poor bastard.
Very possibly
We've not exactly been spoiled though, have we!
Don't necessarily disagree with that either, although it wasn't as entertaining.Now see, I genuinely believe that Phil Neal got more consistent performances from that team
All went wrong when we got rid of him!Phil Neal did better than a lot gave him credit for
Mind you, anyone facing life with the surname Trebilcock has to be a bit of an underdog surely?And while I'm here, did anyone hear him on Fighting Talk the other week - FA Cup Final day? He was asked for his favourite 'FA Cup Underdog' story. Guess what incident the former Cov player and manager and Wimbledon manager chose.....
go on....
YES, of course, Mike Trebilcock scoring twice for Everton in the 1966 Final

Signed most of the 87 cup winning team and manger of Wimbledon in 88 , winning the FA CUP .Terrible manager. Hilarious but terrible.

Not bad for someone ( in your opinion ) is a terrible manager .
Steve Ogrizovic, Trevor Peake , Michael Gynn Brian Kilcline,,Dave Bennet, and Cyril Regis were all signed by him and played in the final Lloyd Mc Grath came through from the youth team .He also signed Stuart Pearce( whatever happened to him). Gouldy I for one salute you for what you have done for our club as player and manager.He didn't sign most and even if he did it proved how shit he was at motivating them. Also sacked the best top flight manager we ever had.
Yes, he tightened them up and realised Phil Babb was a centre back and Andy Pearce was shiteNow see, I genuinely believe that Phil Neal got more consistent performances from that team
He was still Coventry's first choice goalkeeper in the 1997–98 season, when at the age of 40 he was the oldest player to play a Premier League game that season. In order to gain his final playing contract Ogrizovic had to give up smoking as one of the conditionsSteve Ogrizovic, Trevor Peake , Michael Gynn Brian Kilcline,,Dave Bennet, and Cyril Regis were all signed by him and played in the final Lloyd Mc Grath came through from the youth team .He also signed Stuart Pearce( whatever happened to him).

Wasn't Darby Phil's son in law?I just can't forgive Neal for Julian feckin Darby! He could have won the champions league for us and I think I'd still dislike him for Darby!
Salako was a decent player, agree on the others though.Phil Neal did well to keep us competitive, before Richardson began his spending spree, with Atkinson bringing in overpriced Championship players (Paul Williams, Shaw, Daish, Salako, Richardson) and we actually got worse. Neal had virtually no money, and must be credited for bringing Dublin to the club (from the Phil Babb money). He did speak about Liverpool too much, but I thought he was a good guy, and a solid manager for us
