OK then. They were doing GREAT in January 1987. They did not get promoted in 1988. Spring 1991 was 5 years later than 1987. He did NOT take them to the play off final in 1991. Happy now?
5 years! Appointed Jan 87 with team on slide to 3rd. Took them up first season and in spring 1991 were in the Championship equivalent play off finals! It went wrong after that though granted, but be fair to the guy.
So people say but as I recall when we got relegated in 1983, we sold most and had sold quite a few at the end of previous seasons. Horton, Ward, Robinson, Grealish, Robinson, Smith, Gregory, Foster, Stevens, Lawrenson, Maybank, Smilie. All sold over a few seasons for more than they paid for them.
Sure. I think it was Catlin who said Ian Wright was too small. I remember the Tiltman fiasco. Dean Saunders seemed to have either lost it or gone on strike and surprise surprise came back to form when sold to Derby. LLoyd would have known that Tiltman was a pacy winger/forward and a top...
