A fair few of those managers coming and going in the dark days managed to fall out with at least one if not more fan’s favourite so they could bring in their own journeyman players that used to follow them from club to club.

It was a definite cycle, and invariably the new manager didn’t like the former manager’s journeymen, which led to a constant flux and turnover of players.A fair few of those managers coming and going in the dark days managed to fall out with at least one if not more fan’s favourite so they could bring in their own journeyman players that used to follow them from club to club.
I would love to see a proper analysis of how many players actually played for us in the 80s and 90s, particularly how many played less than say 10 or even 5 games for us, compared to other clubs. I know every club has their own version of the Carl Shutts and Stefan Karl’s of the world, but surely we must be somewhere near the top of that particular table.

Was quite a coup for us at the time, he was only 28 when he signed for us and was only 2 yrs after his 49 goal season for Spursone of my first city memories as a kid was being really excited about signing him. And thinking wow how have we done that! Shame it didn’t work out he was some player

One of the best ever English strikers. Superb stats all at the top level back that up.Was quite a coup for us at the time, he was only 28 when he signed for us and was only 2 yrs after his 49 goal season for Spurs
Idiotic management prevented him playing many more games
Manager's don't always use the team coach, it depends where they live. There are often several cars from a club, and the kitman could be separate etc, and directors would be, and after the game especially they could go their own way.I never said we was playing Blackburn -I said I was with some mates at a Blackburn match as we didn’t have a game,and Reid wouldn’t of been in his car at Blackburn if we were playing them would he,he’d have been on the bus
Fuck sake I’ll try and explain better for the hard of understanding next time
Sounds an very plausible you watch the same Division 2 game. You hardly explained it well and your writing is very poor even for a Blackburn fan.

Haha lol Clive never stopped getting goals few times he playedThat’s no surprise for me,because like your dad I once confronted Reid at Blackburn in his car,at a match with some mates,I saw him go past and he had to turn round at top of street,so I walked in middle of road as to flag him down kind of thing,he stopped,electric window came down,I said what’s the crack with Clive Allen,get him in man,to which the little scouse rat replied,if he scores goals he be in my team…….was sold not too long after that,sorry Clive
Ill start off, Giuseppe Mazzarelli. Wtaf, least i can laugh about it now ;)It was a definite cycle, and invariably the new manager didn’t like the former manager’s journeymen, which led to a constant flux and turnover of players.
