RIP..thoughts with the family.

Bloody hell. RIP MM

Anthony_Kav · Jan 10, 2016

No way! I remember a time I was on holiday in Majorca with the family, I must of been 5-7 years old at the time and we saw him and he brought me ice cream. I was in my glory. What a top bloke. RIP.

I for one won't attend the minutes silence on Tuesday. Sorry to sound harsh, but he is one of the three main reasons for our sorry state over the last decade and a half.With everything that went on that he was party to I wont be shedding any tears today.

Otis · Jan 10, 2016

Didn't know he was still alive!

How old was he? He seemed to be 70 something when he was here.

RIP anyway. Always sad to see anyone pass away.

Will we have a black armband and minute's silence for him I wonder. I guess we will, but it could be a bit contentious, cos he was very much at odds with the fans wasn't he.

I would certainly gladly give a minute's silence for him, but would not give him a minute's applause. Certain it would be the former anyway.

Bugsy · Jan 10, 2016

Rip Mike.
We are human at the end of the day thoughts are wiv family and friends..

On a side note was he the chairman who wanted to change the club crest to that appalling shitty elephant with ccfc at the top.....PUSB

Bit harsh, more to life than football.

Agree, doesn't matter who it is we should show some respect with a minutes silence, applause? sorry no, he and BR cause this club so many issues.

ccfctommy · Jan 10, 2016

I think so. Also the man who wanted 'instant sucess'.

RIP

Ha ha, you bellend.

Just don't take part. No need to tell everyone.

mechaishida · Jan 10, 2016

He was one of our own, despite the underlying feeling of rancour regarding his tenure at our club.

Didn't he have a bad stroke a few years back? Either way, thoughts are with the family, RIP Mr McGinnity.

He wasn't a mass murderer, he was chairman of a football club.

Met him in Mallorca. He used to drink in a bar that I supplied beer to and when he found out that I followed city he was genuinely thrilled and told me that whenever I was back in Coventry to call him beforehand and he would arrange complimentary tickets, he even gave me a business card with his home phone number.
I called him once for tickets to the famous boxing day 3 v 2 victory against Arsenal and again later that season for the Man U. game as it was my son's tenth birthday. We lost the match but he'd kindly given us access to one of the club lounges after the match where we saw all the players. Not only that, we had permission to watch the training on the Monday at Ryton where he actually met his heroes and had his photo taken with nearly all of them. Hadji and Chippo both spoke Spanish and seemed to have all the time in the world for him making it an unforgettable experience.
So in my personal experience he was a truly top bloke and because of his kindness my son is "City hasta la muerte" .
May he rest in peace.

RIP, thoughts are obviously with the family. Will leave critique of his time at City for another thread.

Yep. He could just tell everyone during the minute's silence couldn't he.

Ooh crime of the century

So come on, what did he do that was so bad for the club?

How do you not take part in a minutes silence anyway?

As someone has already said, think that is best left to another thread. The bloke has just died, do we really want a 30 page debate on here as to how bad a chairman he was?

Let's not rip into him on here, eh and let people pay their respects.

The title of the thread is 'Mike McGinnity passed away' so it would be nice if we can sort of stay within the realms of that.

Did MM have a bad stroke a few years back, mate? No puns or sarcasm please, or I may have to pull your moustache off.

By talking? Doing a chicken dance? Making squawking noises? Snoring?

bawtryneal · Jan 10, 2016

He was the driving force behind the Ricoh move and getting it completed on time.

I met met him a couple of times and he always seemed a decent chap. Although he was a West Brom fan he always had CCFCs best interests at heart.

RIP Mike and best wishes to your family at this sad time.

He never looked well when he was here I don't think.

Minutes applause it is then - harder to sabotage and easier not to take part in.

Londonccfcfan · Jan 10, 2016

Really sad news. I thought he always came across as a down to earth genuine guy. He took over at troubled times I believe.

In any case if anyone doesn't have anything nice to say. Just stay quiet, have some respect and stay quiet.

RIP MM

Or leave it for another thread, but then I would say today is not the day for that and people should be able to grieve first and leave things for at least a few days before completely dissecting the bloke.

I have my own thoughts but will keep them to myself for now.

SkyBlueRuffian · Jan 10, 2016

half the crowd won't even know who he was, but I would applaud anyone who tried to do their best for my club. No minute silences before a crucial game, we need the atmosphere to be electric.

On considering u hav singled my post out..

What the fuck are u on About u goon

At the End of the day he did what he thought was good/right for the club..........
Didn't make the mistakes he made on purpose.

This may sound a little wrong due to the reasons we have a minutes silence but usually the cheer of the crowd and the atmosphere immediately after the ref blows his whistle to end the minutes silence is electric!!!

Obviously, I am no way saying that we should just have a minutes silence for this reason, however, if it comes down to the last game of the season and we need a win and Tim Fisher wants to (literally) take one for the team then who am I to argue.......

Appalling stance, remember he always tried his best for us, and every is allowed to make errors. I firmly believed he was a good man trying his best for us. RIP MM
