It always amazed,angered,and frustrated me in equal measure how so many on here showed nothing but outright hatred for the man. Some of the filth posted about him on here was nothing short of a disgrace. (“Fucking corpse”, “senile old ****” every week). There was even a thread started before the players had finished their lap of honour after his second league cup triumph slagging him off unmercifully for picking the goalkeeper that won is the cup in the shoot out. Slagging one of our managers off for picking a team that won a major cup as a direct and unarguable result of his team selection. Sorry for the rant, I’m afraid some buried anger of mine has spurted to the surface again.
Until the ended of this season this true gentleman is our greatest manager of the modern (1980’s onwards) era.
A bona fide City legend.
