Beat me to It although didn't hear It verbatim.Brian Clough was going to manage us
He used us to force through a better deal with Derby in 1972.Beat me to It although didn't hear It verbatim.
Nothing beats the Phil Masinga sighting at KFC.
I think the Gekoski book mentioned the club had tabs on a young Henry and Trezeguet.
Not rumours but fact: the club were on the brink of signing Lee Bowyer, Neil Lennon and Chris Coleman, but all were pinched by other teams at the last minute. Shame, all would have been good signings.
There was that very tall player who was supposed to be very good that we were signing a couple of years ago. Some of our supporters were getting excited......then we found out that it was just a wind up and no such person existed
I thought I would try and cheer things up. We all know someone who knows someone. I am interested to hear the rumours that you have heard over the years. Here are a couple that I heard
the Sultan of Brunei' s daughter was a student at Warwick uni in the late seventies early eighties and the Sultan attended a match at Highfield Rd with a view to buying us. Apparently there was a demonstration on the pitch 'sack the board' and he felt that he could not invest as that sort of behaviour would damage his royal image.,,,,,,,,,,,There was something like this tho , some arabs were over looking at investing /buying us ,as I remember it was a night game and all hell broke out when it was revealed terry butcher was commenting from the ground for the radio .
i also heard that Kenny Dalglish was nailed on to be our manager a short while after He went from Blackburn.
do you have anything as dream like as those?
Yes they have......rewind
Rumour that does not seem to go away is that Ray Ranson and consortium has had something to do with Wasps moving to the ricoh and that wasps 'consortium will then purchase CCTV at some point - how and when is unclear
Rumour we turned down Van Nisterroy at £2m whilst he was younger before his move to UTD was a classic, with the reason being we had Whelan Huckerby Dublin at the time so he would struggle to get in the team.
I think that RVN thing was confirmed as true.
