    Robins brought him on a lot an all. Hill handed him an armband

    I have not said anything about how he treated Butterfield, but Robins brought Jake to the point where he was ready to start matches regularly, if Robins had stayed then Jake would have been the lynch pin he was under Hill, but to say it was Hill that improved him is just as wrong !

    Hmmm, I disagree on that. Butterfield certainly wouldn't have seen as much as the ball under the way we played under Robins. Jacob needed a team built around him and that's what Hill did. It brought out the best in him, and the responsibility of captaincy also helped.

    Simple fact is that during their tenure we've made much more in transfer fees than we have in years. Yup, Stones & Butterfield were already here but neither were focal points of the side - maybe they got lucky pr maybe part of their plan worked.

    You are allowed to give em some credit mate, you know, have a reasoned discussion about their time here.

    PS Vaz Te, Davies and Golbourne weren't already here. About 1.5 million which is still more than Robins brought in with his signings (I think)

    Eventually we will. It took 19 years when we went down to Division 3 North in 1959 including a stint in Division 4. But once the corner was turned the foundations were there for the last 35 years which have arguably been as successful as any in our history.

    not so sure myself,the 2nd division(championship)will be flooded with teams using parachute payments from the premier and even some of these will have found their way to league 1,very different to 1959,
    its a pity we wont get owt for being relegated,just shows how ridiculous the whole football league has become.
