Forward With Franny

[Daz_Blue]

How many people on here were actually vocal on here when Franny took over from Swales ....anybody admit to actually standing outside the main entrance to the ground singing Swales Out .... I was one ..... not sure now if it was actually an improvement ...we did get Kinkladze but also Alan Ball and Frank Clarke ...... trying to remember the 2 guys who were Franny's main backers .....

Yeah I was one of those in my youth, had some leaflets printed with a few mates of mine...would have been about 15/16 then!

Happy days....

Yep I was outside the main gates demonstrating and went to loads of meetings, still got loads of the literature they were giving out. Colin Barlow ex-blue was with him.

Me too, one of the Swales out brigade. It was the right thing to do but Franny didn't do us any favours. Sacked Horton who played some great football without giving him a chance. From there on was utterly shite at running the football club. HOWEVER!! bought us Georgi Kinkladze, so all is forgiven. If I ever see another player with so much skill in a City shirt my life will be complete.

Yeah, me too. I remember g at the time there wasn't actually THAT many people who turned up I expected much more.

Didn't stop the fucking Sun giving out posters and plastic hats emblazoned with "Forward with Franny". Leeches.

 

[mayo31]

Was it not The Mirror who did the hats etc

Some journo called Alec Johnson backed franny big time

I never went demonstrating but was there away to Leicester in late 80s when the Swales out banner first appeared
