Well yeah, kind of proves my point
Well to be fair it’s a bit difficult to get promoted when you are in the top flight
My conclusion is some of our fans need the sack.
Well yeah, kind of proves my point
And mine
I mean, we are allowed more than one manager who's done well for us...
Current incumbent, Mickey Adams, Strachan in parts, Neale, Gould (second time around especially), Sillett all in my memory. Fair few of the others were kind of nobbled by circumstance and hey, even Don Mackay saved us when we looked down and out.The only issue is that you just struggle to find anyone who's done a good job (in my time)...

Anybody who considers Don Howe worthy of anything other than total scorn is a psychotic loon, however.

Forgot Black!I liked Mickey Adams from memory and the season with Wise brings back fond memories as a JSB. Also, Dowie for a period and Man U away is still one of my all time favourite moments as a supporter.
As for Strachan, I was at an age where I supported Cov, but didn’t know what was going on.
All in all, at least in my time as a supporter, Robins is indisputably the best manager we’ve had. It’s not even a bold statement because there isn’t any choice.
The biggest ‘what if’ was letting Eric Black go.
Again, recent history aside, it’s been a generally torrid period to support the club.
...selling Thompson would have been similar to selling Godden last season
Then to claim players like singleton stayed after the debacle is like saying pask stayed. He could t have started more than 20 games. Suckling was under contract - I thought hunt didn’t hang around either for very long
By the time we got to October the main team was totally different to the prior season - 8 players I’d say were new that season on average until Gould decided to sack the goalkeeper in the media
I didn't, I included him in a list of players that stayed on at the club after Grendel claimed all the players left. Grendel just picked on Martin Singleton, like he singles out and derides other individuals.Hmm, not sure in any sense of the word, you could class Singleton as a key player to keep hold of that season.
Or Suckling for that matter. He must have been in nappies!
A perfect summing up of a very irrational manager. Go and find out what Vinny Jones thinks of him after his stint of the Wales job or Robbie Savage or Ryan Giggs.I didn't, I included him in a list of players that stayed on at the club after Grendel claimed all the players left.

Singelton was a fringe player. Hendrie hardly played for the club either really and neither did Hormantchuck - he only played under Gould as we had no one else until we signed Pearce (despite the claim there is no way he was signed before that season started). We were his only professional club. Suckling as you say was a youth player.
1. I didn’t claim every single player left
2. he was replaced by Pearce and despite an injury he did still play for Nuneaton - it’s like claiming Jordan Thompson didn’t leave. Next you’ll be saying Andy Spring didn’t leave
3 we sold our entire first team defence other than Robert’s, our entire attack and a large chunk of midfield. All the players he signed in replacement were first team regulars very quickly - actually by September so your pedantry does you no favours
I still disagree on sexton but that is subjective and at least not the factual errors and deliberate misrepresentation so I guess that’s something
Welcome to Skybluestalk.co.uk1. My mistake, you claimed "... players all declaring they would leave at the end of the season" But that's a lie, isn't it?
2. Hormantschuk - according to CCFPA "Peter received a serious knee injury in the reserves which effectively ended his first class career though he had a few non league outings locally"
3. You say "All the players he signed in replacement were first team regulars very quickly". You are back to talking bollocks - not all of the players Gould signed even made first team debuts.
Subjective opinions? What an arse you are, you are wrong and simply too arrogant to admit it.
You want to see pedantic? Go look in the mirror.
