Your favourite City crisis?

With City clearly in a deep crisis at the moment having won 4 league titles on the bounce and writing English football history in the process but then losing 5 games in a row, it got me thinking....what is your favourite City crisis?

Was it when Thaksin was getting banged up in Thailand and the club looked like it could be finished?

How about failing to score at home under Stuart Pearce from New Years Day until the end of the season?

Or were those draws under Mark Hughes the crisis you enjoyed?

How about 5 different managers (including caretakers) in 96/97?

Or was it relegation to the third tier in 98 that you enjoyed the most?

Personally it was Pellegrini's toothless CL semi-final at Real Madrid that I enjoyed the most. That was a real crisis.
Mine was when I heard Coppull had quit -I went and had a few Ales that lunchtime which I never did normally -as I was genuinely worried where we were going from there
 
I remember that so clearly
It was absolutely pissing it down and five minutes in, a Leicester player lines up a shot from 30 yards which Perry Suckling gathered, only for the ball to squirm out from beneath him and trickle over the goal line
That was during our two year not winning away from home streak, which was enjoyable, as we all thought we'd win the next one
We were 3-0 down after c10 minutes if I remember correctly in a do or die relegation battle -that was how it was in those days
 
2008 summer and Mark Hughes finding out in a post match interview that Thaksin was in the process of flogging Stephen Ireland to Sunderland without his knowledge
 
Ha ha no mate, I don't even think we got chips when we went as we came in armed with sweets.
We was always early though, I remember many games us sat in the Kippax at 130 reading the programme and mucking about.
I was a teenager with 14 eye-hole Doc Martens to tackle the bog piss reservoir and I'd usually have a pint of Watneys and a burger before taking my place half way up the Kippax near the segregation railings.

And I remember a lot of us went early in those days to taunt the away fans. That was part of the build up to a cracking match day experience. No cheesy Hugh Ferret-like tosser boring us to death on the PA, just chanting and singing, like football matches should be.

And I always remember nearly every player had a song. The announcer would read out the team and there'd be the little chant for them.
 
Apart from signing Kalvin Phillips ;) The biggest mistake the Sheik and Khaldoon have made in this era.

Halford was shocking at his job and at the very least aware of the corruption of Swales and maybe part of it.
What about his complete fuck up on the 1999 Playoff Final sales which had thousands of Blues (me included) queuing for 15 hours + at the Ticket Office and them having to work until 2 in the morning to sort his shambles out
He should’ve been sacked for that alone
