Perfect response.I know this poll is a light hearted carry over from another thread but here's my very very very basic timeline,
No Eddie = No Premier League
No Max (and his backing) = No Eddie
No Eddie Mitchell = No Max
No Uncle Jeff = No Eddie Mitchell
No Peter Phillips = No Uncle Jeff
No fans at the Winter Gardens = No Peter Phillips.
As I say, that's my extremely basic potted history of the club this past 3 decades or more. So you could say, if it wasn't for all of you amazing fans that turned up that night, all the above wouldn't have happened. Believe me, the Good Lady and myself are eternally grateful to each and everyone of you, that put pounds or pennies in the buckets that night. You saved us from a boring life with no major interest outside our home.
: )
Looks like the credit is Neil's and Rob's, as well as the cast of thousands that saved the club : )
Ps, it could be said, if there were no John Bond or Cox's Pippens, would there have been enough fans at the Winter gardens. Is it down to whoever appointed them? : )
Eh?Following Eddie is a bit like following Alex Ferguson at United.
But the latest manager had success after a couple of seasonsHe was Mr Manchester United and Eddie was Eddie, a Cherry through and through.
After his achievement at AFCB as with Ferguson over a longer period at United, Eddie’s achievement at our club will be hard to replace.
Scott Parker has come in and taken us up at first time of asking, but we were already in the Championship with a good squad.
Now he has to try and keep us up in the top league next season.
As I said a bit like Ferguson, so many have tried to follow him at United, but have failed.

It's because his sometimes negative musings don't fit with the "forum elite's" narrative BrianI don't understand any of the harsh comments about Neil Dawson...the bloke comes across as a coherent, knowledgeable supporter.. good talker and communicator in various interview clips ive seen...with probably a more in depth knowledge of the aspects of the game than most of us.
I agree.I don't understand any of the harsh comments about Neil Dawson...the bloke comes across as a coherent, knowledgeable supporter.. good talker and communicator in various interview clips ive seen...with probably a more in depth knowledge of the aspects of the game than most of us.
I agree.
But, when him and SDD completely take over a thread with both wanting the last word, it gets tiresome and generally off topic.
If you didn’t blow your trumpet, you’d have no contribution.Yeah true....but this is why it was so refreshing that myself and a couple of other raconteurs rocked up to break things up a bit ..especially me...I shouldn't blow my own trumpet really...but I have been quite a revelation it needs to be said...

But your point was ....so many (Ferguson) have followed and failed...but that is not the case with EddieThe latest manager at our club took us up at the first attempt from the Championship with a strong squad.
Eddie took us through the leagues with a number of problems on route and kept us in the top league for five seasons.
As I mentioned on another thread, the history books will show they were the first two to take AFCB up into the Premier League.
