Guest Deleted member Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 MM took over on the 14th December 2010. On the 18th December we played Exeter away - and in his first match as Chairman he watched us go down to a 5-1 defeat. Our line-up that day was; 0 Nicky Weaver 2 Tommy Spurr 4 Darren Purse 8 Tommy Miller 11 Jermaine Johnson 13 Mark Beevers 14 Darren Potter 15 Chris Sedgwick 19 Clinton Morrison 21 Gary Teale 26 Daniel Jones The manager - of course - was Alan 'Ive done my coaching badges' Irvine. Milan paid £7m to the Co-Op Bank which wiped out debts of £23m. He paid the HMRC bill of £1.4m - which the club had been given 30 days to pay on the 17th November. We were playing in the 3rd tier. Less than 3 years later we kicked off for our 2nd season back in the 2nd tier, and our line up was 01 Kirkland 04 Gardner 05 Zayatte 19 Mattock (Maghoma - 37' ) 22 Palmer Booked 11 J Johnson 12 Prutton 14 Coke 34 Nuhiu 07 Antonio 17 Helan The manager - Dave Jones. Thats ON the pitch. Off the pitch - again - we've made quantum leaps forward, revenues are up, crowds are well up. We have a development squad and an Academy plan, the Community programme is one of the best in the whole country. If MM does leave the club soon (and I personally think he will) he can hold his head up high, the ship has been steadied, the club is much more attractive to investment, and its clearly going forward at all levels.

Sam779 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Don't remember Weaver wearing '0' at Exeter. Suppose it was a long train journey, freezing cold and the terrace wasn't good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Distraught! Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 And we're still losing games. Great measure of progress! So if we were to get into the Premier League and then had a run of defeats, that would be standing still or regression? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OxonOwl Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 How do we compare to last season ? Have we progressed ? We have started the season with a squad that is similar to the one that finished last season, the one that was producing promotion form, only we have no loan players. They are yet to come. In short, yes we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senwar Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 But MM hasn't splashed out millions to show our fans how much this club means to him while XXX teams are doing exactly that. And he doesn't care we're already relegated this season even though there's 45 games to go - he's accepted it. etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthefish2002 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 As much as I like Owlstalk I think sites like these fuel people having extreme opinions. Everything is black and white. Tuesday night was frustrating but even Manchester United have nights like this every season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
