Allow me this rare opportunity to disagree with you!
I thought bailey, great player though he was, a one trick pony as manager. Sure we pulled off some fine away wins and the cavalier Albion became a dour side that defended in depth and hit teams on the break to get one goal wins.
For a season...
Not surprisingly I'd go for Freddie Goodwin
When he came to Albion we were 2nd bottom 18 months later we had just missed out on promotion and had had a good league cup run. Crowds were around 7,000 when he came but I saw 2 of my 30,000+ crowds when he was here.
He was poached by Birmingham...
