This sort of article crops up whenever English clubs haven't had the most successful time in Europe. Give it a couple of seasons and there's an all PL Champions' League final and the articles will be...

It was a shambles of a team but that was mainly down to Trollope. That's not saying that what Warnock did wasn't superb, because it was, but the side should never have been down the bottom as they...

Good stats. I think that sums Warnock up. Has kept up some poor sides and won promotion with teams that probably wouldn't have been close. He's not always got it right in the second tier, but his...

Yes.

Some believe we were 1 win away from staying up that season, in the same way they believe only a Reading points deduction saved us last season. Both have a ring of truth from the end of...

There's not a week that goes by where you don't have a go at our general support and you've done it again here.
Our support is better than it has been since the 1950s. That has to be good.

Not...

Quite right. We'd have been promoted by now had that been the case.

I know you Tories stick together, but he was referring to those people as a waste of NHS money. He said so himself in the thread.

We only ever had one average attendance in the 2nd division below 5k and I'd be interested in the context of the whole of the 70s in terms of attendances.

1969-71 - in two seasons we averaged...

Yes, shame, but as it's financially-cheating Man City I can live with it.

Yes, but Newcastle weren't in the bottom division.

Wolves had barely more than 4k when they were relegated from Div 3 and 5.7k in their first promotion attempt in 1987.

Crowds in the 80s and 90s were mainly poor but we also know that was across football in the UK, not helped by hooliganism. Wolves had horrific crowds in the 4th tier. Basing any opinions on our...

Not quite true.

When we won promotion in 1993 we had a higher average attendance than when we had promotion in Hammam's first season in 2000/01. Even the two seasons before Hammam arrived saw not...

So, playing devil's advocate here, if a bottom division side had 40k crowds every week but had never been close to the top flight in its history, that would be a big club, but a side that spent 20...

Cracking tactic. Southampton won't be expecting that at all. That will have them totally fooled.

At least we'd see him once a year.

There's an answer that tells us nothing, but I'll address each point made.

"We will always find enough money in every transfer window to get in a few decent players, we managed it last year with a...

So what makes you think he'll be able to buy quality players this summer? Where is this money coming from?

:hehe: Gives them a bit of wiggle room!

“Club president Hasan Arat said the new coach could be Turkish or foreign – he said it is a very important choice...

Absolutely, that's why LOM is being utterly daft again.

So, if someone injures themselves at work through carelessness, sod them, let them suffer?

I wasn't quite born then. In fact, I still hadn't quite left my father's nut sack.

Didn't we have one poster who claimed that Madine's flick on for Pilkington to score at Sheff Utd was worth the transfer fee alone as it helped win promotion?

Do you have a problem with that?
