I think you post your views more about the name of the manager rather than the facts. His perineum's still red raw, after the wedgie that GJ gave him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo88 Posted October 8, 2022 Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 Last night, by pure serendipity, this popped up on YouTube. It’s interesting to watch as some of the teams played have gone on to the Premier League and some are now in the National League. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got us to the final but did a Wilson and failed………… **** me are you still banging this drum…… Didn’t all those years in the NHS teach you anything? Only mistake GJ made in his final was not dragging Orr when it was clear he was ******. Unlike DW. Who selected completely the wrong team. Christ alive. Did you go out on the lash with Danny’s wonder boys? I’m struggling to understand what you saw in the man. Ok. Great, exciting and entertaining football. But at the end of the day - failure. And another thing. What’s your fascination with that bloody emoji? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portland Bill Posted October 8, 2022 Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 I would rather watch the football Danny Wilson got his team to play, than 90% of what we have seen since. We played some sublime football in his time, and the fact that it still stands out for me, makes me realise just how good and entertaining it was. Okay, he didn’t get us promoted, but how many City manager have over the last 130 plus years!. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Humble Realist Posted October 8, 2022 Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 Wilson, who I liked, is doing a lot of revisionist history there . We certainly werent unlucky...we blew up. He has to take a lot of the responsibility for that. As for Lita, its revisionist history for fans to say it cost us. Lita was still young. There were no clamour for him to be starting etc at the time. It may have been a fans choice to have him on the bench, he was quick striker for sure but the idea it cost us promotion is for the birds.

cidercity1987 Posted October 8, 2022 Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 Lita not on the bench controversy... Who out of Scotty M, Luke Wiltshire, semi final hero Marc Goodfellow or only defensive player Burnell should have been out of the 16? It does show how strong our squad was though and we should never have lost that game against a very ordinary Brighton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the most enjoyable time for me watching City was in division 4, great away trips to small grounds etc. Me personally, I’ve got zero interest in us getting in the Premier league, I’ve no desire to watch City have a successful season by not being relegated, because that’s the only thing that would possibly happen if we went up.

The final was a terrible match which tbh I dont think Lita would have made any difference in as we didnt exactly create a load of chances.

Ask yourself this, I think he did some good things but how would Lee Johnson have done under these constraints..or how would NP have done with Lee Johnson's resources. It is what it is, circumstances panned out as they did but NP is dealing with a lot of shit and has been ever since he joined. Scott, Semenyo and so far although still early, Conway gave flourished under him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midlands Robin Posted October 8, 2022 Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 Great period for the style of football we played. Complete failure in terms of carrying the club forward. By mid season in all four of his seasons in charge we were around the top six and in every season we had spells after January where we seemed to fall apart.

I quite enjoy seeing players of certain ilk who have played in the prem, your Newcastle’s or when we see a Rooney managing the opposition. I can’t say I’d feel as excited about paying 30+ notes to watch like Phil Walsh at Dag and Redbridge in the old forth division. Each to their own though. I am content in the championship.

In theory yes, in practice...more nuanced. Would depend how we played it of course but a few PL clubs have now made losses in the 1st PL season after promotion. Notably Aston Villa but Fulham twice as well...think Brighton turned to loss making as well for a while, this despite and including £100m of T.V. cash a year.

Mr Popodopolous Posted October 10, 2022 Report Share Posted October 10, 2022 (edited) Worth separating out a bit, City forum sure but him taking Barnsley up was a pretty notable feat, certainly a football man albeit with a mixed track record. They were perhaps unfortunate to go down too- is an interesting listen despite Brighton in 2004 and the 2003 failure. He still doesn't regret Lita on the bench at Wembley! Otoh, if not for Miller at Swindon we perhaps go up...was pretty late on in the game wasn't it.
