I consider Terry Copper to be 10 times the manager GJ was . We were on our ass financially . He had little more than a youth team to get results with and along with Clive middlemas dragged our club up by the boot straps. To such an extent that he got a van and drove to Darlington to help Alan Walsh move here. So no GJ is not a legend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting to the championship play off final with a newly promoted squad was a lot better than winning the league and JPT with a squad which had the leagues best players.

Red Exile Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 Cooper was definitely a legend. But for heaven's sake, so was Gary Johnson. I've been going regularly for 36 years, never known the place rocking as it was in 2007-08. There's so much rewriting of history on any GJ thread….has been since the day he left. Can't understand why, but I suspect that rather too many regulars on here had knives out for him (as they have for his son for some reason) and it hugely suited their agenda for him to, eventually, fail. But in my opinion he was without doubt one the finest managers of the whole club and its fan base. Good times. And let's face it TC left around 30 years ago and GJ took us further than any of his successors. I was at Hull at the weekend, had plenty of chances to see that Windass goal. Had we won that match, which we could have done, things would have been very different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe me 38,000 at The Gate against Liverpool in a vital game in the late seventies seriously eclipsed the atmosphere for any game when GJ was at the helm....and many many other games did as well...

Red Exile Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 Well, as a schoolboy I was at the Leeds and Liverpool cup matches and I recall them being wonderful, but I'm 54 and in the 36 years since I got my first pay packet I'd rate GJ the best manager of a side that consistently got me excited about going to matches. I'm rather hoping the next 36 years offer more than the last! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From bankruptcy to promotion in 2 years and Wembley in 4 . The club still treated him like shit though and have never acknowledged what he done for us . Perhaps it should be the Terry Cooper lounge rather than the Heineken lounge . Just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portland Bill Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 TC had to do everything on a shoestring, the club was at its lowest ebb 'ever' when he took over, whereas GJ was given the most money any City manager has ever had, TC wins for me,hands down.
