Can you and all the other posters on here then please explain why after one game (Birmingham I believe) was there a pitch invasion and a demonstration after the game with fans singing "kill kill kill Jimmy Hill"?
He had put the club into huge debt with his gamble into franchise football. Anyway back to the original point - why the vitrIol that effectively forced him out?
As for avoiding relegation under modern day rules we'd have been docked three points in 1976 /7 and relegated.
And if your gran had bollocks she'd be your grandad.
I'm talking about his legacy not the journey. The club only ever went up the league's during his tenure, he left the club in a far far better place than it was when he found it and we are still proud his legacy to this day. Hence we're proud to be called the sky blues, hence we're still proud to wear a sky blue strip, hence we still proudly sing his song.
If sisu changed the the name would you back them? If sisu changed the colour of our home strip would you back them? If sisu moved the ckub out of the city would you back them? Oh wait, I've just remembered who I'm replying to. Off course the answer would be less to all of them.
Although sisu (through their actions) have inadvertently wrote us a song. How does it go again. ...... we want sisu........
Just to add about people singing for JH's blood. I remember Fester fans singing for Martin O'Neil to get the sack not long after he arrived. I bet there's not one of those fans who don't regret it and not one who wanted him to go when he did. I'm not old enough to remember the JH incident and can't say I know anyone who was there that day and taking part but I'd bet that any that were are no different now to the aforementioned Fester fans.
Last thing to add. Belittling JH in some attempt to big up sisu is pretty low even for you and is just further proof that you're not a CCFC fan you're a council basher and don't mind how you do it.
