Robbo1980 Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 Are you mad, he's partly the reason we're in this mess, he as good as got us relegated from Div 1 in 98/99 with Scott Davidson's assistance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worthyred Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 Lennartson (spelling??) would be ideal for the type of post that SL is suggesting. He has a superb eye for young talent and vast experience. Remember he was never bought in to be manager (Ward threw his toys from the pram. He would be ideal as long as "Tinnion could work with him", Tins knowledge of lower division football and Lennartson's broader knowledge and experience might work, don't think it will ever happen though.

bucksred Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 Neither exactly set Citys seasons moving have they. Benny started this rot, Tinman is the latest to "attempt" to put it rightBenny Out BEFORE he comes bloody back here!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbo1980 Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 That was Division 1 (Championship) it was John Ward which got us promoted all by himself without Benny's help, Davidson got him in October 98, after we beat Bolton 2-1 on Sky in Division 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_C Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 Ah but Wardy used most of JJ team so a lot of help from him eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbo1980 Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 True, but he wasn't their at all for the Promotion Season, so it was all down to Wardy really wasn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spongebob Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 John ward played us like joe jordan his man management got the 'softer' players who didnt like jordan shouting, to give their all week in week out. Wilson came in with a bunch of long ball players, who were unfit and who hadnt been properly managed for 6 months. There are huge differences between the 2 and comparisons are unfair on the resepective managers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Old Dazzler Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 It was 100% Jordan's team except for Micky Bell, Adam Locke,Scott Murray, Sean Dyche (OK), Colin Cramb, Steve Torpey, all signed by Wardy, who also introduced Tommy Doc to the 1st team. The re-instated Keith Welch was a Lumsden signing, as was Rob Edwards. Tinman was an Osman signing. But Jordan did buy Goodridge, Goater and Taylor, as well as bringing Louis Carey into the 1st team. So it was Jordan's team that won promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benny started this rot, ←Actually the rot started when the board allowed Shaun Goater - a proven goalscorer - to leave on deadline day of the promotion season. Check out the form at the end of that season and you'll see the promotion side were no great shakes without him.How much more expensive did trying to rectify that error prove than simply paying the man the worth of his trade?

Credit due to Tinman to try and stop the comfort zone, but he aint, and this season rolls to the inevitable end, with all the infighting unabated-Wonderfull!!
