Mad Cyril Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 "The bad managers are here to remind us of the good ones we didnt pay enough attention to...." So we may be struggling to roll off a list of City managers under the heading of 'Legends', but compared to fans of some clubs (especially Rovers) we have had it good. Honestly, we have. Who would you say have had it really bad and dream of our success? I will start with Coventry City fans. The last time their team finished in the top 6 of any league......1970.

I didn't know this, so looked it up. L1 since 97/98 season. So LJ not the only coach to do a "good job" there and keep them at that level. Some context there about the job Lee was doing at Oldham.

Lanterne Rouge Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Pompey. Forty years ago they were one of the top sides in the country and now struggling to get out of League 2 even with big crowds. Sheffield United. How many years in League 1 now? Blackpool. From Stanley Mathews to Owen Oyston - how? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Cyril Posted January 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Arsenal. Seemingly doomed to the top 4 and not progressing past the knock out stages of the Champions League. Enough to make you jump ship to Orient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
