Majority of blues were happy to be rid of him.
Even though we were eventually relegated under Horton.

Short sighted..2 x top 5 finishes in 3 years... as a PLAYER manager...what were some thinking wabting him out..deluded!

He was on a huge downward trajectory
Once the aging '"Kendal" players were no longer useful and Reid became his own man, that was when he could really be judged
However I was told that it was Ellis City wanted rid of and Reid said "if he goes, I go"

As for Ellis, I asked Edgehill about him once, and he confirmed that Ellis was a bully and complete twat

Exactly...that was a terrible appointment..look ar our record post Reids 5 5 and 9..amazing really. If he could have got a good man next to him..McNab maybe...he would have turned round the 9th place finish in his last year.. I think some ageing players your right BUT he understood the game did Reid...

Has there been a good Mancunian manager? Possibly Mark Robins!

Joe Mercer was from Ellesmere Port..

As my colleague used to say: “That is on the Wirral, not scouse.” She was from Birkenhead!

We weren’t relegated under Horton he left at the end of the season Franny didn’t get his man and Ball came along the rest is history

Yes. Horton did well for us, I reckon.

I’ve worked with the scousers for 15 years
Best thing I ever did was get one of those universal translators from Amazon
Just a tiny device that slots in one of your ears.

I’ve always found earplugs help enormously.

No - because nobody can understand a f**king work they're saying nor want to be showered by their spittle.
