Because of the squad he inherited, and the way he misused them, Lyons.

Have to agree with the other oldies. Lyons. Took on a great squad and turned us into useless hoofball merchants. If there's one thing worse than a goofball team, it's an unsuccessful hoofball team.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Lyons (spit) took apart a great side that could have got promotion under a good manager, some say he was told to reduce the wage bill, but you don't do that by taking all the throw ins free kicks and corners, Lyons thought the ball was his.

Law was a waste of skin and oxygen a boardroom error that wasn't to be their last.

Neweel assembled the worst sorry excuse for a group of players we have ever seen, Woods fault was he couldn't motivate them enough to keep us out of the drop zone.

One of the biggest problems we have had is a poor ineffective Chairman who thought the cheap option was the only option. Now the seat is vacant, what other business would leave such a vital role empty.


Supporting the Mighty Mariners for over 30 years, home town club is were the heart and soul is and it's great to be a part of it.

Mike Lyons by a country mile. He thought he was Roy of the Rovers. He was more like Charles "Charlie" Charles!
Saw him and the lads on the urine in Pier 39 after an away night game just after he signed. I had a little chat with him and implored him to get us out of that league. He promised he would. He kept that promise.  

Oh, for the younger ones who don't know who Charles "Charlie" Charles was.....

Lyons by a mile, after he got the push from us he went on to manage Everton reserves.  We played them and he brought a selection of 1st team players to DO US OVER.  He He they lost.

Thanks to that Badger, I've just 'wasted' two hours watching Harry & Paul videos with my son.
