    An interesting question and probably depends on how long you have been a fan !



    We have had a lot who done well for a season or two but then left or suddenly not been so good for what ever reason .

    Ken Furphy did a decent job. But I would go For Gracia - he got us to a Cup Final. It might have been a disaster, but it still meant a lot to me - missing 1984.

    All done further down the League, I know - but for what he achieved on a budget he found underneath the bottom of a barrel, it has to be Ken Furphy. From memory, he did it all by himself too, without a legion of backroom staff to help. I often wonder what he would have achieved had money been available.

    Teams that played home games there shouldn't be counted except for final and or semifinals ie Spurs who played 51 home league games

    Georgia's game gone into extra time so Chakvetadze will be playing a few more minutes than probably hoped.

    Porteous only on the bench for Scotland though.

    I received the same notification with a total value of £2.32

    Reading the back of the form the information they requires is what you would expect for claiming thousands of pounds not a few pence AND not even a SAE

    Waste of time OR a scam

    Bassini ripped of the Club and the fans

    Looks like he is Forest fan - should know about chaos then and erratic owners !

    TBH Not sure people worry too much about how many managers we have had (not all were sacked of course) - many wanted Ismael to go but just generally where the club is heading.

    Like the financial situation or involvement of Bayat etc?

    He wrote this about us a few years ago.

    How times change .

    Classic fickle nature I guess .

    Great when it worked but after a while that all comes crashing down and goes wrong .

    Good luck to Tobi Adeyemo, who moves on loan to Wealdstone until the end of the season!
