David Icke was our best ever keeper. The lizard people told me
But a much better cube than OggysGreat stopper had a cube on the end of his foot and he regularly hit the angle.
It was Nilsson, Oggy, McAllister, Eric Black then Peter Reid
Peter Reid was our worst ever manager. Including Slade.

And her Sister.He was a decent keeper but given the keepers we had after in Kirkland and westy then he doesn’t compare. Missus was mint though
He wasn’t
took a promising team playing good football under Black to an absolute shitheap of a side.
He agreed to take the job on certain conditions. One was that Callum Davenport was not sold. mcginnity agreed
One day in training davenport was not there. Reid was trying to find where he was
Mcginnity ambles along. “He’s gone Peter what can I do”
What then would you do?
I don't know, spend the transfer money on a pay rise for Neil Wood? Pay someone to write some more pro-Reid fanfiction? Finding yet another chance to slag off McGinnity is one thing, but I draw the line at a Peter Reid hagiography.
It’s well known mcginnity was a nightmare and sold players behind managers backs, never talked to managers and was asset stripping at that time in an obscene way

A nightmare chairman was far from a unique problem for a manager at that level, in the post ITV Digital years. I know you like to subscribe to the 'McGinnity as boogyman' theory, but that doesn't absolve Reid. The fact that resources were scarce only further damns him for spending what we did have on Tim Sherwood and Neil Wood.
Reid botched the job he was at before he came here, and his career never recovered after he left. He was cooked. And "If only he'd had Callum Davenport all season" doesn't strike me as a good excuse for him.
You asked the question, "What then would you do?". What did Reid do? His masterplan was to draft in Florent Laville from the Premiership - says it all really.
His stats were better than:
Coleman
McCallister
Boothroyd
thorn
Within 1% of Adams so it’s absurd to say he was the worst even in the championship
Neil Wood/Eddie Johnson?The football under Reid was awful as were his signigs. He jettisoned Gudjonson who had been great for us under Black, sent McSheffrey out on loan to Luton with his replacement being a Man Utd youth player (can't remember his name) who did nothing for us or in his later career. When he left, we were heading for relegation with a team that under Black has been in play off form. He was better than Slade but that's about it I think.
Eddie Johnson, thanks.Neil Wood/Eddie Johnson?
