Tinmans Love Child Posted October 29, 2021 Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 (edited) Great video, somebody should keep adding to that with all the managers since! Brings back some memories, looks like a long long time ago! I can’t even remember when it was only 2 points for a win yet I had been going to games for a few years!

Ska Junkie Posted October 29, 2021 Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 IIRC wasn't it supposed to be Ray Harford that was rumoured to be coming in as D.o.F with Ward? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marina's Rolls Royce Posted October 29, 2021 Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 I once sat opposite David Russe on a train from TM to Paddington. We talked the whole way there about all things BCFC and he was an interesting chap. I wrote to him several weeks later when he failed to sign Robert Fleck with him stating the club had no money despite initially saying we would try and sign him permanently. @Davefevs- there is a brilliant podcast on BBCSounds with Craig Irving-"sacked in the morning" three episodes so far Pulis, Holloway and Redknapp. Brilliant and fascinating listen with behind the scenes stuff which is a real eye opener. Also laugh out loud stories. Recommend any footie fan to listen. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East Londoner Posted October 29, 2021 Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 (edited) I’m still staggered David Russe thought he could guarantee premier league football within 5 years when he had no money, deluded springs to mind I did wonder how things might’ve gone had Ossie Ardiles got the job instead of Denis Smith though Edited October 29, 2021 by walnutroof Spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEd73 Posted October 29, 2021 Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 (edited) Is that Stephen Merchant at 1:56??? Edit. Having just Googled Merchant, nope! Apologies to whoever is speaking at 1:56 Edited October 29, 2021 by RedEd73 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merrick's Marvels Posted October 29, 2021 Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 Just makes you angry watching that. "We're set up here now for the big time" - Sir Les Q of Hallatrow and Cloud Cockooland "Ossie Ardiles had wanted the job but City didn't want him" - ffs "I don't want the lads going round moody and not enjoying themselves" - resign then Russell ! Had to switch off after that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
054123 Posted October 29, 2021 Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 Never has a club got in the way of itself like City over the last 40 years. They never have and never will back or believe in themselves to truly complete. Cue somebody posting about Pula Sport building a training ground…… 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TedsHeadIs Red Posted October 29, 2021 Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 Can’t believe how amateurish those press conferences were. Looks like they employed local primary school kids to do the display boards in the background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
