I’m not saying this is wrong, cos I know most people hold this view - I probably do myself (maybe influenced by what came after).Can’t believe nobody has said about Howard Kendall. Born in Southport which is in the borough of Sefton on Merseyside. Great great manager and we’d have won something in my opinion if he’d stayed long enough.
It has to be factored in that post City, he was often absolutely steaming, whilst holding down manager jobs without reaching the heights he did originally at Everton.
