I can remember DS being introduced to the race going public at Bath (being current City boss ) as " former Sunderland manager and Stoke player"............no mention of being head honcho at City, we were left with the feeling that was how he'd like to be remembered, very strange !
I think Lansdown was doing ok till he decided to become a tax exile . Being away from the hub and letting a string of inept ambassadors run everything into the ground has let him live the maxim, NOT Absence makes the heart grow fonder, more Out of sight out of mind !
Simon Nicol gave a wonderful tribute, but in true acerbic style he ended "..............the one thing I won't miss was his infuriating tardiness !" Thanks Si, no mention of 1000 thick Swiss, then ?
