Yes, some of the football in 77/78 was exhilarating. Some great games - Man City 4-2, Chelsea 5-1, Wolves 4-0, QPR 4-1, Birmingham 4-0 and of course Norwich 5-4 (which wasn't on bloody Boxing Day!!!).
Before my time, but arguably the best CCFC team to watch, too, given the way the team was set up with proper wingers and all that.
And at a time when English football was all about narrow play and kicking people up in the air.
it was on 27th December, bit harsh! a few days later we beat Man United 3-0Yes, some of the football in 77/78 was exhilarating. Some great games - Man City 4-2, Chelsea 5-1, Wolves 4-0, QPR 4-1, Birmingham 4-0 and of course Norwich 5-4 (which wasn't on bloody Boxing Day!!!).
Yep, we were at Villa Park on Boxing Day - the game that Graham Oakey got injured in.it was on 27th December, bit harsh! a few days later we beat Man United 3-0
Gordon Strachan
Iain Dowie
Chris Coleman
Andy Thorn
Phil Neal
Peter Reid
Was Dowie that bad?
Every manager signs shit players at times , Alex Ferguson , Arsene Wenger just to name two .Gould spent a quarter of a million (a lot then) on Ashley Grimes. He also invested in the wizard of the drivel Peter Barnes.
Milne at one point broke the UK transfer record for a defender when signing Larry Lloyd.
Who signed both of them?Every manger signs shit players at times , Alex Ferguson , Arsene Wenger just to name two .
Russell Slade .Who signed both of them?
They were exciting times weren't theyDon Howe
Even Alex Ferguson had his embarrassing signings...I'm not having a dig at him, we played some great football under Milne, I was just pointing out that he spent big money on 2 players we managed to get about a dozen appearances out of in total. He used to piss off a Leicester supporting friend because I am sure he swapped Tommy English for Jim Melrose, that's good enough for me

A bit like last season then, except that was praying for a nil nil.As drab as I can remember hardly any goals and playing for nil nil
Surprised nobody has mentioned the legend that was Don Mackay
Nope. I've slept on it and I'm adamant that Russel Slade is the worst manager of all time. His garbage football was the worst thing to come to Coventry since the Nazis!
Ron Atkinson - he had the money to spend & wasted most of it.
Indeed! Spent money on Telfer to boot!Yep I'm surprised that no one had nominated "big (spending) Ron" until you did.
Dowie was really good...:cigar:
Terrible. A few good/unbelievable wins here and there but a lot of the performances under him were almost as bad as what we saw under Slade.
Totally agree. Still classed as the messiah for such a short period of time. Done nowt since for a genius of a managerI always thought Black was overrated. He had Joachim fit for the first time in his Ccfc career who made the team tick and was above everyone else. Bit like Clark and Wilson papering over the cracks for Pressley.
Slade,Reid,Adams and even Dowie had success before arriving here. Mmmmmm, there's a pattern emerging.
