Good shout. Him, Andy Hill, Kernaghan, Phelan and Coton - if my memory serves me right - achieved fourth place two seasons on the row under Peter Reid. Once he was sacked it was a downward spiral until the brilliant Joe Royle.Keith Curle

As an aside, I’ll never forget - I’ve forgiven - Graham Taylor for playing Curle at left back at the European Championships. It was the death of what could have been a decent international career.
I think it would have worked out quite well. It’s no secret that he likes his forwards to press and I can’t think of a better striker than him when it comes to harrying defenders.Also hated Ferguson. So he had all the qualifications. Quite a bellend in his own way, it has to be said. But he was absolutely the right man in the right place at the right time. Just what we needed at that point. I wonder how a Pep-Carlito relationship would have turned out. Either he would have turned him into a Ballon d'Or level footballer, or it would have been a crockery-throwing divorce within weeks.
Haha I didn't notice that thatProbably not appropriate, but that sign next to that advertising board....
(not for one minute am I suggesting this should happen btw!)
