    Do you actually remember the constraints he was working under? His remit was to get the club out of the financial trouble it was in, and he did a brilliant job. Even selling our best players he kept us in a reasonable position in the 4th Division. Don't speak ill of the dead.

    I couldn't stand the bloke when I was a teenager and thought I knew everything about football. Later, when I was older (but not more mature!:D), I realised what a difficult job he was being asked to do and, on reflection, appreciated just what a decent job he did for us.
    I know I know nothing about football.

    I know not to

    Claim I'll bare my backside on the town hall steps if a particular transfer transpires, but then fail to hold up my end of the bargain when I'm shown to be wrong AGAIN!:)

    Do you realise

    It's ten years since you made that claim? Where does the time go?

    Not bad, mate

    Laura's just been sorting out with Crystal about coming home for the 'Reading Week' next month. As well as doing her work, she's having to sort out somewhere else to live from next September. They're moving everyone from her current campus in Penrith to one in Ambleside.

    One thing I never appreciated at the time was that Jim Iley was a Barnsley fan. His poaching by Blackburn in April 78 is the best timed departure of any manager.

    You certainly do. And if Jim Iley reads this thread he will have learned that he's dead!
