    Just been on sky sports that Jimmy Hill has died aged 87.

    Always liked him and used to enjoy his Sunday supplement.

    I should imagine there will be few tears and some choice words, I shall say nothing.

    Whilst trying not to be too disrespectful, he was still a ****, with a capital 'c'. . . . of the highest order <cheers>

    I hope that that doesn't sound too harsh, but what he did to us was unforgiveable, even at a time like this :emoticon-0105-wink:

    Fans won't let Jimmy ever get away with it
    Sunderland supporters drew satisfaction on Saturday from extracting a modicum of revenge on the man who condemned the club to one of the darkest days in its history.







    Jimmy Hill was at Craven Cottage on Saturday to pay tribute to former Fulham team-mate Johnny Haynes.







    But he found that Sunderland fans also have long memories and have far from forgiven him for his part in the Wearsiders' 1977 relegation.









    Best-known these days as a veteran TV pundit, Hill was chairman of Coventry City in 1976-77 when three teams went into the last day of the campaign facing relegation – Sunderland, Bristol City and Coventry.







    Hill had the kick-off at the Coventry-Bristol City game delayed for 15 minutes because of "crowd congestion" and when news came through that Sunderland had lost to Everton, he had the result announced over the tannoy.







    That sent the message to both teams that – provided neither scored – they would stay up at Sunderland's expense and what followed was a farcical passage of play in which neither side attempted to win.







    Hill was reprimanded by the Football Association, but Sunderland's relegation still stood.

    Check out 1976 Coventry v Bristol City. Hill heard we were losing, against Everton I think, and he got the kick off delayed at their match. We got beat they contrived to play out a draw thus saving both themselves. Ball barely left the centre circle for the last 20 mins.

    He was a pointy chinned bearded f*cking cheating tw*t and I for one hope the c*nt suffered a lot before he died.
    I still bear a grudge against Coventry for the same reason and would love it if them c*nts went out of business.
