You’re actually right about something, even a broken clock etc. I never saw Callum Wilson play a competitive game for CCFC, well not in person anyway but I’ll do you a favour and let you have that one. What is truly bizarre though is that you apparently did and couldn’t see what a star he was or his potential. You went full Robins on Wilson.Tony you backed every trust protest to remove the clubs owners. It was one catastrophic choice after another.
You even made bizarre claims you knew Callum Wilson was a star player in the making having never seen him play.
You never have any posts on match day threads other than I seem to recall claiming lee Burge was a quality keeper and RCC wasn’t but a year before you said the opposite
You have no opinion on the club on match days, it players, it’s the signings. You spent your entire time on politics (having been a Tory boy and UKIP boy on there) - no one cares about your views on football as you have none.
I’ve always found it pretty odd in truth you’ve always loved a protest but never matches
Can prob guess the reason didn't like WilsonYou’re actually right about something, even a broken clock etc. I never saw Callum Wilson play a competitive game for CCFC, well not in person anyway but I’ll do you a favour and let you have that one.

thats the other one (see turnip clue) there is one more - sort of
Souness?Well I thought the football gurus of Tony and ROS would know.
theres 6 including Souness and Howe I believe - one of them is very well known
Wolves or Watford?
And now I've typed that is one Graham Turner?
Jimmy Sirrell although he did it over 2 spells. Got them from Div 4 to Div 2, left for Sheff Utd, then went back to Notts County 2 years later and finished the job by getting them promoted to Div 1Taylor
Bassett
Howe
Toshack
Bowen
one more
Bob Stokoe?Taylor
Bassett
Howe
Toshack
Bowen

I meant more the arguing G, it’s not necessarily you all the time either, as the same people always look for any opportunity to have a go at you too.I disagree with @procdoc aa the management thing is interesting. @skybluetony176 if you get the missing manager in 5 minutes I’ll try and get you a ticket for the Final

Of course halfway through next season things will look very different in polls like this. Gyokeres and Hamer will have been sold, a team containing Wilson, McFadzean, Kelly, Allen, Godden and Tavares will be struggling to win a single game in the top flight. Fans will therefore decide that Robins is incapable of managing a top flight club and call for his head in exchange for a big name. Allardyce will make a triumphant homecoming and will sign Ivan Spunkalot on deadline day in January for £eleventy billion. As he wins three games for us, even though we go down he will be hailed as the managerial genius Robins isn't, who is now seen as yesterday's man, limited at top flight football management, only worth employing if firefighting at lower levels with boards who love litaigation and moving the club to random towns in the midlands.
Then, in the close season, we'll appoint Bryan Robson. We go again.

Because people remember and the present emotions more keenly, and diminish past achievements as a result.but how would that detract from what he did in getting us up from bottom to top in the first place?

and he didnt step foot in the top flight as manager, so would that put MR above himThat doesn’t hold water, when Hill came back as chairman he was despised and basically hounded out. But we all look back at what he achieved on the pitch and put him up as the best ever
I give Grendel 5 games before he gets on the phone to Big Sam
Really?That doesn’t hold water, when Hill came back as chairman he was despised and basically hounded out. But we all look back at what he achieved on the pitch and put him up as the best ever
if we’re including things like legacies, then Hill’s legacy includes almost bankrupting the place in the 1980s, selling off players to fund things like the Washington Diplomats, and getting to the point where enraged fans were storming onto the pitch wishing him dead.
And I really don't get how when I try to pop up the achievements of others they're trivialised.opinions are all great, whether it’s Hill, Sillett, Cantwell or whoever, but I just don’t get the obvious begrudging by a few people to acknowledge that Mark Robins has done an incredible job in the face of constant problems
and he didnt step foot in the top flight as manager, so would that put MR above him
If we lost our first 10 games would you sack him

King and Robins appear to have a good working relationship
If (and its still a big IF) we do go up I'd love DK to come out and say that however we are doing and whatever position in the league we are MR and his staff will be here the following season
Reiterate it and enforce it as the season goes on , because we all know that there will be calls for his head
Really?
I wouldn’t sack him even if we matched Derby’s record
Wouldn't be the first manager we gave a long contract to and promptly sacked.I think giving him a 4 year contract is as good as
I wouldn’t sack him even if we matched Derby’s record
Nope, I wouldn't sack him either. Surely we would all but almost expect us to lose the first 10 games anyway.I wouldn’t sack him even if we matched Derby’s record
Contracts are quite often, not worth the paper they are written on these days but even if we're bottom of the league with zero points after 30 games I'd still like King to come out and back his manager and me for one would not want him sackedI think giving him a 4 year contract is as good as
Really?
And I really don't get how when I try to pop up the achievements of others they're trivialised.
It would also be nice if we also accepted that if we got relegated, we had no divine right to go up the folllowing season either, and could well not.Nope, I wouldn't sack him either. Surely we would all but almost expect us to lose the first 10 games anyway.
We know he can do the business at this level and we also know that if we did get to the Premier, it could take a least a couple of yo-yo seasons for us to be able to survive at the highest level.
I think everyone would be expecting us to be relegated from the Premier.
I wouldn’t sack him even if we matched Derby’s record
I agree. Would be nice to come back down in a much healthier position though.It would also be nice if we also accepted that if we got relegated, we had no divine right to go up the folllowing season either, and could well not.
I'll be a stuck record, but I'd be happy with just owning our own defenders for once!I agree. Would be nice to come back down in a much healthier position though.
I would, he’d be out of his depth in the prem and we’d need to move on pretty quickly to stay up. He showed us no loyalty when moving to Huddersfield why should we show it to him if he starts to fail
