What is/are the worst BHAFC managerial dcisions over the decades.

I think you will be hard pressed to beat Slade dumping John Sullivan a very promising up and coming goalie who had shown great promise in his first season playing in the 1st team after nurturing him for 7 years at the club.

Can you beat this ?.

How many times did you see him play?

Slade playing Navarro instead of Dicker, which helped destroy any confiedence in the team, resulting in where we are now.

That sale was forced by the manager of Barclay's Bank in North Road


Have to call bullshit on that. Sounds like the same crap about being forced to sell the Goldstone.

Any bank would hold of for a few months to get a wedge rather than chump change in a fire sale. The excuse given is even more galling, that the club had lost a couple of directors. ie, the club was in a position to bring in a couple of moneyed people.

Doesn't mean the club would, it just means there are TWO good reasons for the bank to chill.

It wasn't as if Loydd thought he was worth much as he benched him for Tiltman, something Oxford must have clocked so offered peanuts.

After all how where Oxford able to get away with such a derisery offer? did they have the ear of the bank manager?

your continual apologist stance for Loyyd is so full of holes its unreal..:tantrum:

Sorry but you're talking out of your arse again Looney. It's entirely feasible that pressure from the bank forced the club to sell player. The bank would have informed the club they had to reduce the overdraft and selling a player would be an obvious way to do that. Barclays couldn't give a shit whether we got top dollar or not, just that their exposure was reduced.

Please explain to me how you reduce your exposure by selling assets at 5% of there value?

quite a lot of these are chairman decisions not manager decisions

i'd go for

"yeh, chris iwelumo........yeh sorry mate, you're not good enough for us.......yeh sorry, see you later"

or

"hi mark mccammon........fancy playing for us?"

not getting full value for Zamora was also a cock up.

Dunno - we held out for an extra season and football's finances went down the toilet. BUT, even though we went down, that was a hell of season under Coppell with Zamora's 14-15 goals or whatever it was.
