I can agree with thisColinBellsjockstrap said:Brian (who?) Horton was a very decent manager, who was a football man through and through, plus is a nice guy into the bargain...(Very rare these days of dog eat dog)
In fact I would go so far as to say he is my favourite City manager, along with Genial Joe Mercer and Pellers.

Adrian Heath to Clive Allen
Steve Redmond to Colin Hendry
Terry Phelan to Neil Pointon
Rick Holden to Michael Hughes
and spent millions doing so. He also signed the likes of Ingebrigtsen and Gronendeijk.
He gradually undid the great work Kendall did and we would without a doubt have been relegated the season he was sacked. Horton deserved a medal.

We could have been on the verge of greatness with the team he was building but was seduced back to Everton. What a clueless decision to go back there and not achieve much afterwards. Il throw that one out to the floor for discussion.
Totally agree. I hated the way he was turning us into an Everton old boys club, he got rid of Ian Bishop and then sacked us off to go back to The Toffees! Big confession here - when he went and left us and went back there I fucking cheered when The Rags beat them at Goodison. Only time I ever have or will celebrate them winning. God I hated him for walking out on us like he did. He used us to get back in the English game.
That Everton old boys club kept us up. Without them we would gone down. Don't forget that. For Kendall to be even mentioned in this thread is stupid beyond belief.

It's always a surprise to me how on forums like this, whether it's football, music, whatever, there's always people who can't handle others having a different opinion to theirs. Am I wrong about my feelings about Howerd Kendall? Possibly! But so what!!! That's what forums are all about - swapping and sharing opinions. When someone else reads it's and gets all angry and starts calling people stupid etc then it's fucking pointless.
Your deluded if you think Howard Kendall was great . I think I have quite a lot of support for the fact Howard Kendall was a judas .Blue Streak said:BLUEYESTU said:Blue Streak said:That Everton old boys club kept us up. Without them we would gone down.

Nobody is personally calling you stupid mate. But read the thread title again properly. This is a thread about City's most clueless manager aside from Alan Ball? For anyone to suggest it's Howard Kendall is deluded. The guy was a very, very good manager. And I'm not angry, just shocked his name even gets a mention in this thread.
