Got to be the Peter Swales era , riots outside the main stand , Police horses the full shabang
Fat Bob Taylor making it two.Carl Asaba putting Gillingham ahead. It was brief but it bloody well was a crisis!
Generally agree KB..but let's not forget that conceding 8 goals to BoroPersonally the Stuart Pearce season was the worst. Going to matches was torture mostly. I hated it even worse than Frank Clark's god awful time which was utterly dire from start to finish. On the other side Sven was brilliant, gave us back some self respect.
This one because we know it’s going to get better eventually (even if not this season).
Back in other crises, it was difficult to find positives for the future.
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.
