  1. I enjoyed reading that and take all your points. I did not mean that I write to sell papers or generate revenue. The sole purpose of the local newspaper industry nowadays is to do so. I would love to tell what I know. You all know how we got here from there but I would love to explain how we got there from Premiership comfort and who has the money. I can’t. The law is on the side of the rich. My view is this; the forums are always alight with negativity. Fair play. I see some here are positive and I acknowledge that. My view is that we are a middle of the road club and no manager is going to wave a magic wand. So I write that. I am not a happy clapper or owt. I support the club, have been a season ticket holder since I was 6 in 1977. I do give too much leeway but that is because love is blind. I am occasionally furious after a game but my column isn’t written then.
  2. Sadly there is a fat line of lawyers and other forces which dictate what I can and cannot write about. The paper is no longer an independent concern but part of NewsQuest UK. I have 350 words to put across my view and so there is little room for nuance. It has to be condensed. Believe me I would have stepped down long ago if I was sure Paul Yates wouldn’t get the job.
  3. I always wanted to know what Cowans said to Richard Brown after the free kick that caused so much manic laughter. I asked both over the years and `Sid` couldn`t remember and Brown would not say for some reason. That morning, the Norwich players were training in Witton Park. Doing shuttle runs. It would appear some of them (Butterworth, Culverhouse etc) ended a little heavy legged. Not to take anything away from the XI who turned out that day. A fantastic memory.
  4. Mickey Speight, if it`s the correct one, used to sign as Michael. Or possibly reserve team striker Mickey Graham. EDIT; I`ve seen which one you mean; It`s Mick Rathbone
  5. I think that we played well that day; creating , but wasteful. I think the nadir was the West Brom home game. We created nothing, there was little in the way of effort and it seemed that after our seven years of good fortune, we were second rate fodder again. They scored and it was more by their ineptitude and lack of interest that we equalised. Then Dailly scored a fortuitous winner. What was most alarming was that a shallow victory masked the fact that we were unbelievably bad. Yes, we would win more than we lost, but we needed to be competing for promotion. Then Souness took over. Let`s never forget the job he did. Kidd ripped the heart from the club and Souey pieced it back, stronger.
