And over 80% (guess) of the posters on here aren't?
It has to be bringing big Mal back without Joe's calming influence.

Think it was more he refused to stump up the extra 50k for the transfer. If he did he was ours

Very much this Big Mal gets a very easy ride from the fanbase(no doubt because of his first stay), but what followed in the 80s and 90s can be traced back to his 2nd stay at the club.Palerider said:Bringing Big Mal back was bad but getting rid of Tony Book as manager in the same deal was worse. We were definitely a top four side when Mal came back but bottom four when he left.

Bringing Big Mal back.
On the Ian Rush story - the version I heard was that City Legend Alan Oakes who was Manager of Chester was insistent that Rush was not going anywhere near City. I dont know the reasons for this or if their was " Bad Blood" between Oakes and City at the time. Perhaps older posters may have more information on this that they would like to share?
