Quoted from Abdul19
He did a superb job keeping us in the second tier and there was no shame in going down the year after, but the batterings we received in 03-04 tarnish him a bit in my eyes, unfortunately.


He was doing the job with his hands tied behind his back. I once witnessed a conversation where he was explaining some of the things that were going on and how he would've liked to have played Phil Jevons but couldn't. He was a young manager who'd kept us up against all the odds in Division one and he probably deserved better from the club.

Look at our players who were sold during that season and the players we signed under all three managers.

Was that due to there being some sort of payment needing to be made/ contract extension once he'd made a certain amount of appearances?

I believe so. Would we have got relegated if Jevons could have played all season and we'd not sold Pouton and Boulding mid season?

That's all well and good, but Scott Vernon scored a hat trick against us

To be fair he was on his way up then. He's of an Iffy Onoura vintage now.

Quoted from Mighty_Mariner


I have it on very good authority that Moyses has 'bought' his way into the job by investing money into the club!

Still taking a wage but all a little odd if you ask me!


Perhaps John should do that. I'm sure if he was given more control of affairs at the club we'd be even more successful.


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.
