A cracking 15% win ration and he never managed a league club again. Now sporting director at Conference North, York City. I'm sure I remember there were some strange allegations floating around about the theft of a VCR after Penney's departure from the Sags? Or did I dream that?

I would imagine Exeter, certainly Plymouth, Newport would match those numbers. Full of shit the lot of em Also, they played Chelsea at the end of August or the beginning of September, not comparable to going up to Manchester just after Christmas. Besides, we still sold our allocation out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 Regarding Matt Taylor, we have certainly spent more than £300k on players that were less effective for us. I still think the most telling thing was that they thought he was just a finisher, but he had more to his game when he played with better players. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point - how much did we spaff on Steve Torpey in ‘97? Pretty sure it was more than the Taylor fee and that proved to be a poor signing (granted the injury he picked up on his debut at Grimsby didn’t exactly help).

Our game against Man City was one of four away fixtures in 19 days right after Christmas. Obviously the LC Semi was always going to be the best attended but we also sold out our trip to Aston Villa, took 1500 to Watford for the FA Cup 3rd round and 500 to Derby on a Friday night for a Sky televised match. It infuriates me when our own fans slate our away support. Edited January 25, 2021 by Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always like the idea that this conversation may have taken place... JL - Hello Wally, I understand the MT has a release clause. What is it, so we can consider a bid..? WAQ - it's a secret Jon. You have no idea and as long as you don't know it, you can't get him ha ha ha. JL - OK... I bid £200k..? WAQ - NO! Ha ha ha. JL - OK. £300k...? WAQ - oh FFS..! I'll send him over... JL - WTF...?! I was only taking the piss, to waste your time... I had the thumbs up to bid upto £1.5million. WAQ - yeah, like anyone actually has a million pounds in real life... All you need is a 15k watch and people just assume you're a millionaire. But nobody actually is.... Are they..?! JL - Dave, get on with designing some piss take posters please. Something like "Welcome to Bristol" should go down well....! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any sniff of a view and they ban people. I have absolutely no idea what their reasoning is, fair enough they might not want City fans on there, telling them what they already know, but the Fewers we have on here are generally made welcome, but then I don't suppose we have the insecurity of being part of the blue shite brigade.
