The really frustrating thing, is that he wasn't a terrible player. A terrible signing? Sure. But he had a lot of ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan48 Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 What with him and the donkey Jonkey amongst others , it's no wonder we struggled . But as has been stated elsewhere you have to look at the Management structure at the time and acknowledge their total incompetence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But none of that should be an excuse for the motivation and commitment level of de Bilde and Jonk in particular. Our club was sinking at the time and they were just prepared to let it happen without so much as a whimper. And when the inevitable happened, they just walked away without giving a damn.

mike84 Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 3 hours ago, ChinaOwl said: He wasn't the only mercenary in that team. Worse than his footballing form, he and his little band of co-conspirators paved the way for twenty years of financial pain and misery that included the Allen years and finally the doors of the High Court. We are now only just recovering from the damage inflicted on the club. De bilde was not alone but he was certainly one of the causative factors. Thanks for nothing Gilles! To be fair, he was offered a contract by the club. He wouldn't have been interested if the club could actually afford it or what it might mean for the future. the board of directors at the time are totally to blame for the financial state we ended up in. i actually think he was a half decent player,. But we were a lost cause before he signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a real shame. All that money spent and hardly any of it was recouped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More life in a tramps vest. Other than Coventry away, where he remains the only player I've ever seen booed, for scoring. I went to that one, 4-0 down when he scored. Alan Quinn was the only shining light in the team that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animis Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Him, sibon and two scottish failures were instrumental in our down fall. In 99 we were so bad I couldn't wait for relegation so we could bounce bad with some good and committed players. I forgot they had contracts which meant we were lumbered with the two hats for at least another year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Coyt Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Only decent game I remember him playing was against Wimbledon the season we went down, think he scored twice or maybe hatrick? I remember we thrashed them that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
