In discussions with my friends the Durban years were particularly ones after Eddie May we seem t go into freefall with Kenny Hibbitt turning into a boomerang and folk moan about this current era LolOriginally Posted by the other bob wilson

Very interesting, though given your usual standard of spelling I expected this thread to be "City managers and their ERRORS"
Indeed, it helps when your sober or can't sleep at night , just watch my true spelling/grammar kick in after tonight win , Ctrl c and v is a useful tool for my problems .Very interesting, though given your usual standard of spelling I expected this thread to be "City managers and their ERRORS"
PEDANT ALERT
Those are lengths of time that they were in charge, if you mean era's then for example,July 1978- March 1980 is one

No apostrophe needed in plurals, ffs.
Well spotted bob

Just trying to ironic , with some tongue in cheek views , to see if there was any motivation for a discussion , era could be termed as " a system of chronology dating from a particular event. .PEDANT ALERT

No space needed between ironic and comma and views and comma and discussion and comma and " and a system; "with some tongue in cheek views" should be in brackets; tongue-in-cheek (note hyphens); full stop after discussion; era should therefore have a capital E; particular event should be followed by inverted commas and there are two concluding full stops. Use of 'ironic' and 'motivation' questionable and the source for the quotation should be given. Otherwise, the grammatical content of your posts is showing a significant improvement. Well done!
I thought it was just me you did that to
I think LOM got a buzz too...I thought it was just me you did that to
When you look at that list there is hardly one manager who left Cardiff to go on to bigger things. I see three categories in that list : three top managers on their way down (O'Farrell, Durban and Gould), managers who peaked with Cardiff (e.g. Scoular) and those whose managerial careers never really got going.
What stands out is the short term managerial spells , only Scoular, Jimmy Andrews ,Frank Burrows ,Eddie May,Lenny Lawrence and Dave Jones had long term managerial periods from the listed appointments .
