20 Years Ago Today - 26th September 1998


Recommended Posts

Yes. I was there. Little did we know the series of events that would follow and the utter ineptitude of both the management and Chairman which, ultimately led to our decline. Compare and contrast the handling of Cantona at man utd for a far more serious offence.

Ifs, buts and maybes really.

 

It would not have been long before something else happened that bore the fruit of our ineptitude in the board room.

 

The only thing that is certain is that Alcock went down like a sack of spuds.

 

As most know the poor guy died at 65 this year from the dreaded cancer. RIP.

It was all going wrong way before that, the dice was cast the minute we let BFR go and we appointed Wilson.

Absolutely criminal act which took us to the brink of non existence.

Yes. You're absolutely right on this. Ron came in and kept us up. Then apparently gets fired because the inept Richards was outraged the club lost 500k in placement money after the team lost the last couple of games. There was of course a small matter of revenge. What an idiot.

Bergkamp and Anelka up front for the champions. And we used to go toe to toe with those teams. We took it for granted and I feel sorry for the young uns today because there's been some reyt bobbar since then. Will we ever compete like that again?
