Machin-caretaker or was Machin picking the team as soon as Clarke left?</p>
Leeds home game was definitely Machin's first in charge Winstanley was caretaker between Clarke leaving and Machin being appointed
RE: Leeds home game was definitely Machin's first in charge correct-Winstanley was caretaker according to Official history-but official site says 1/12 as well-probably just pinched from Soccerbase
Machin left Manc City on 30/11 <table cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1" border="0"><tbody><tr><td bgcolor="#f7f7f7"><font face="helvetica" size="-1">Barnsley </font></td><td bgcolor="#f7f7f7"><font face="helvetica" size="-1">01-12-1989 </font></td><td bgcolor="#f7f7f7"><font face="helvetica" size="-1">05-05-1993 </font></td><td align="right" bgcolor="#f7f7f7"><font face="helvetica" size="-1"></font></td><td align="right" bgcolor="#f7f7f7"><font face="helvetica" size="-1"></font></td><td align="right" bgcolor="#f7f7f7"><font face="helvetica" size="-1"></font></td><td align="right" bgcolor="#f7f7f7"><font face="helvetica" size="-1"></font></td></tr><tr><td bgcolor="#e6e6e6"><font face="helvetica" size="-1">Man City </font></td><td bgcolor="#e6e6e6"><font face="helvetica" size="-1">01-05-1987 </font></td><td bgcolor="#e6e6e6"><font face="helvetica" size="-1">30-11-1989 </font></td><td align="right" bgcolor="#e6e6e6"><font face="helvetica" size="-1"></font></td><td align="right" bgcolor="#e6e6e6"><font face="helvetica" size="-1"></font></td><td align="right" bgcolor="#e6e6e6"><font face="helvetica" size="-1"></font></td><td align="right" bgcolor="#e6e6e6"><font face="helvetica" size="-1"></font></td></tr></tbody></table>
All those home games..... ...were so totally dire that I can still feel the despondancy now, despite only being 11 years old at the time. I remember at the Watford game being completely and utterly amazed at the hugeness of their goalkeeper. I can't even remember whether it was Tony Coton or David James, I just remember he was huge.
I went to that West Brom Debacle Along with abart another couple of hundred. Think Big Winnie was at the helm just after clark got sacked. Losing big time in the prem felt no where near as bad.Sure the leeds game was mad mels first.
RE: I went to that West Brom Debacle the leeds game was mad mels first game in charge, darren foreman got the winner.
