Thommo was a little bit too defensive in his tactics for my liking, and placed too much onus on not losing matches rather than on winning them. But he still did a brilliant job in keeping us up against the odds, and he reintroduced honesty and integrity to the club. He deserves a great reception tomorrow night.

Thommo had the bottle to drop Clare to the reserves, a great move that got the other players playing with a smile on their faces. A true footballing legend lets here it for him tonight.

Clare to the reserves! I remember it well and DT Woodhall was on the receiving end of a 2 finger salute from Clare.  :)

I remember it well. Clare was gone by the weekend too. I also remember ( before your time Mark) that I sent in a letter to the standard suggesting how Howard Wilkinson could improve the way the team was playing and he was sacked by the weekend too.

Pity I hav'nt got the same influence now!!!!! Do you think we could persuade him to stay and become manager again?

DT ! I was guilty of holding the"Kerr must go" banner! Right above his dug out and it was in blood coloured paint (that's how the Standard described it).A few days latter he had been sacked!Pat threatened the other person with a banning order but not me!!

Didn't Clare have one more game at Macclesfield, and then was let go?
I create YouTube videos (BUFC/FM/CM 01-02), and stream Football Manager on Twitch as BostonUnitedFM.

I know you have all been busy on other threads but just like to say it was good to see the /us happy clappers and the  moaners unite last night to give Neil a great fully deserved reception .   Just to point out the highlight of the evening for me.

I agree, what a fine fella Neil still is. Well done Craig and thanks for that.  :)
