Don't get me wrong RTID, I think they were all below value for money in the long run but we needed them for those 6 months.Deep nostalgic sigh.
Di Canio, I'd have taken him back, even now, and even after a not great recent track record.

Plainly our inability to create chances is the main problem, but I certainly didn't think we were outplayed by Villa. Apparently Chery has created 60-odd chances this season, but I can't recall many in recent games. I heard that Bidwell apologised to the team at half-time for his poor crossing - I hope Chery did too.
Get someone else in to score some goals or we're going down... ...We should look to tempt one of the Premier relegation threatended teams with Sandro and use the money to get an out of favour but named striker.
That was a load of **** and I wished I hadn't bothered going. No attempts on target in a home game! No goals in four! No quality on the pitch! I haven't felt this angry after a game for a while. I couldn't even go for a pint with my mates after as I couldn't bear to even try and discuss that R's performance.
I thought we were impotent last season and that it couldn't get any worse. Silly me.
Is it time for Chery to sit out a game or two? Can't see what he's offering at the moment and his set pieces are worse than Barton's. On reflection I still think our overall performance was OK yesterday but we do look toothless, if only you could gum teams into submission.
Am I better off staying away 9s?
I was at a party this evening and my mate Steve who sits in Ellerslie Road W block ( or thereabouts) said that there's a bloke who sits behind him and has a booming voice. He often shouts/encourages the players and has done so all season. In the last few games he has taken his ire out on Nedum Onuoha and his captaincy. From what I gathered some of these booming requests were ...
''Nedum we can't hear you.''
''Nedum show some leadership.'' etc
He also calls out the other players if he feels that they aren't putting a shift in. Perch and Ngbakoto were two other recipients today and whoever else happens to be playing on that side of the pitch when they're not.
At the end of today's game Onuoha went over and asked who was the person who keeps shouting? My mate turns around and said to the bloke I think he means you mate. This bloke who has a walking stick went down to speak to Nedum.
Nedum grabbed his hands and said to him ... ''Can you stop shouting at us you're not helping the team.''
The conversation was more prolonged and I'm not sure what else was said but the sentence above would've been the main gist of it I'd imagine.
Weird or what?
