[Publius Ovidius]

he was no hero of mine

 

[Wozza]

A quarter of next season's Prem managers have strong Man Utd connections (Keane, Coppell, Bruce etc).

How many have Albion links?

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

I believe he set up The Bobster for probably his best Withdean goal ................

Chris Wilder?

Chris Wilder?

Doh.

Clever clogs.

 

[Jimbo26]

Saying Hutchings is a hero is a tad extreme

It certainly would have been, I don't think the Bobster had been born when Hutchings was here

 

[ali jenkins]

I didnt even know Jewell had quit!


They did well to survive the 'second season' syndrome in the premiership and i thaught Jewell had done a decent job!

Why did he resign?

Badly needs a rest from football...........



until he goes to city

That's them down next season then

 

[Marshy]

yep

 

[bhaexpress]

I think Jewel could be the next Ian Dowie ......

Has a Premiership team ever gone straight through the Championship or whatever it was called at the time? You'd have to try real hard to do it with the parachute payments etc.

Bradford maybe?? Nah that would be too ironic if Bradford have done and Wigan did next season

What an ugly bastard

Chris Hutchings


"Albion hero"- stretching things a bit far I think, but he had his moments. I remember him primarily because of his classic footballer's mullet, which usually had fetching blonde highlights and was teamed with a teasing little moustache.

err officially "to take a break from football"

but expect him to turn up at Manchester City, who have just sacked Stuart Pearce, in the next few days

 

[Al Bion]

He was one of my hero's at the time, he always had time for the fans and always speaks well of the Albion. He's a top bloke in my opinion

I don't think they had parachute payments when Bradford got relegated.
