Howard Kendall

RIP Howard - Feel a bit gutted as my only ever contribution to KotK was a one liner wishing him all the worst luck in the world after he left us - felt very betrayed but in latter years came to appreciate what he did for us at the time
 
Just seen this in the papers. Great shock. I often wonder whether things would have been different for us if he's stayed and not gone back to Everton. I suspect they would but you couldn't blame him, although I was gutted when he did.

Funny but there's a tradition of ex Everton greats managing us. Mercer, Kendall, Royle & Ball (although we could have done without the latter).
 
He was always ruddy faced and a bit ill looking in his face. Bad diet, too much beer?

He broke my heart when he decided to leave and go back to Everton. I used to have a soft spot for the Toffees but after that I hated them with a passion. My stance toward them has softened over the years, but I suppose the Kendall situation was just another one of the realisations that in reality we were below the level I always reckoned we were.

All the same RIP.
 
Rip. Great manager, would have achieved more in Europe if it wasn't for the wall pushing grief monkeys getting everyone banned.
 
Did a good job for City - 3 seasons = 5th, 5th & 9th.
Like others have said, I wonder what he could have achieved if he had stayed longer.
Once a blue always a blue.
 
I loved when he arrived at City, i hated him when he left for Everton, i became indifferent to him after he bombed and left the blue dippers.
 
I remember the game after he left us - TV game at home to Leeds (we lost 2-3 to the mercurial Strachan). It was remembrance Sunday and mid way through the minutes silence the crowd started chanting "Fuck Off Kendall" over and over. I'd never been so ashamed to be a City fan in my life. I hope we show true class with a perfectly observed minutes silence for him.
 
When he left to go back to Everton I remember thinking he'd done the right thing from a career point of view.

It reminded me of when McNeil left to go to Villa a few years before.

It was obvious City were in decline, and the next decade proved it.
