Not read Reid's but read both Atkinson's and Micky Adams'.
Atkinson's book was written as if he was too good to be at CCFC, I got quite pissed off with it in the end.
Adams' has got a bit of a chip on his shoulder, you can tell he's a Sheffield United fan. Didn't learn that much from it apart from that Sillett was on the interview panel when Adams was interviewed for the job. He believes he was harshly sacked, and he probably was in all fairness.
Was this Atkinson's recent one?
Still remember him sat outside the store in the Ricoh with a popup table on his own offering signed copies, but nobody was actually bothered and he ended up looking a bit like a beggar sat there watching people walk past.
unless there are any 'darkies' playing of courseI quite like Atkinson generally and he was a far better pundit than some of the droids on TV now.
Diabolically bad manager for us, mind.Yeah, well fairly recent, I read it around this time last year. I quite like Atkinson generally and he was a far better pundit than some of the droids on TV now.

Spent a fortune we didn't have to make us worse.

Trevor Brooking in the Radio Times(!) had us as dark horses for the title that year after we'd spent so much.Yeah I agree, terrible. Think he spent £18m in 1995, a fortune for the club which had a turnover of around £6.4m at the time leaving the club with a loss of £15m by the end of the year, it never recovered....
Not helped by Davenport being sold from under him, just as we'd beaten West Ham and started to move.He was awful . First game in charge was the last game of the season against Palace at home. He took over from Eric Black. Palace were chasing a play off spot and needed a win. We played them off the park that day to win the game. It was Black's team and Reid's best game in charge.
We were never the same after that. He totally destroyed the basis of a decent team.

Might have still been OK if Malky Mackay had decided to join us, but the bank wanted the cash really...
Remember the televised game at a Leicester? Lost 3-0. He just stood on the touchline looking bereft of ideas and with exactly zero fucks to give. I said at the time (on GMK if I recall correctly - actually it was probably on LAST) that a manager who was trying to get sacked would not have behaved any differently that night.
Keith O'neil, Tim Sherwood FFS !

£8,000 a week.Do me a favour, this is the Tim Sherwood who had just previously broken his leg in two places, was costing us £20,000 a week and topped up his income whilst being injured all the time doing football punditry as well. Unlucky !?
Remember O'Neill suddenly appearing from nowhere as a sub, running around a bit, then retiring instantly?Maybe it was O'Neil who was on the ridiculous money and yes he was a parting gift from Gordon..............surely another one who should have failed a medical !

Surely some kind of insurance play going on around that!
tbf, given the state we were on at the time, Sherwood's wage was indeed stupid anyway.
Kilbane was pretty similar, although he did score one goal and swore at a knobhead in the crowd.
But he had the good grace to retire and take no pay, he had every right to swear at the person in the crowd as a fellow parent of a child with ds I can see why he lost it. Also it was a very good goal
He also scored a very late pen at Dagenham and Redbridge in the League Cup to win the game for us back in 2012 unless I am very much mistaken.But he had the good grace to retire and take no pay, he had every right to swear at the person in the crowd as a fellow parent of a child with ds I can see why he lost it.
