Your favourite City crisis?

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

Signing Gerry Creaney, then playing Gerry Creaney, then we kept on playing Gerry Creaney. That was a major fucking crisis in my eyes. Don't even get me started on the fact that he replaced Paul Walsh(or was he swapped) either way, fucking criminal. A total and utter fat waste of oxygen.

I've been blessed to see some great crisis's.

That period between 1995 & 1996 where we had 5 managers in 18 months spawned some of the greatest blue on blue I've ever seen.

Gerry fucking Creaney
Ged Brannan
Lee Bradbury

All of Stuart Pearce's era, the man who was responsible for me very nearly giving up on football.

Getting beat in the FA Cup 3-0 by Forest who were bottom of the championship at the time during the Hughes period was a fantastic day out.

Losing to Wigan in the cup final was also a bit special.

All in all this " crisis" is proving to be a disappointment.

We had 8 Carling Premiership losses in a row under Ball after the 1-1 draw opener, but only 5 losses in a row as we had a 2 legger in the league cup.

It is a lot worse than 3 PL losses now even if it is 5 in a row total same as Bally. The 8 losses meant we eventually went down even though after the first 9 games things picked up and then went average, I remember ball getting Manager of the Month for November and thinking we would be okay.

Fall out with every player bar kinky as he couldn't speak English, and tell them you won the world cup, a recipe for success.

I recall when Big Malc got fired I listened to Radio Manchester all night long as it unfolded.

Catastrophic. I still wake up sweating. It's not funny.

Catastrophic. I still wake up sweating. It's not funny.

More short lived but has obviously left us scarred.
