Worst BHAFC managerial decisions ever ?.

As for Saunders, I wish he had stayed, thought he was a good player, but his record (21 games in 72 matches) was hardly outstanding. He was out of contract at the end of the 1987 season so likely to go anyway.

Lets not re-write history. Saunders looked a player of great potential and none of the Albion fans I knew who followed the club at the time were surprised that he went on to make it at the top level. I assume Lloyd was under pressure to sell. My understanding is that Oxford expected to pay 200K for him and were shocked when Lloyd asked for so little. At the same time Oxford paid Aldershot considerably more for Martin Foyle - a striker of less ability.

We had NO CONTROL OVER THE FEE AT ALL.

lloydd was told by the bank to take the deal on the table because they (Barclays Bank) wanted the cash to service outstanding instalment on the mortgage . Oxford's enquiry was only exploratory and they were NOT expecting to get him for £60k. They were just testing the water to see if we would be interested in doing a deal. They were not expecting their hand to be bitten off. Much like us, Zamora and bristol Rovers

Not so sure about this.

All season nels was third choice behind Small and Byrned up front. With both of them fit, he was always going to be on the bench......

Chris Cattlin playing Mick Ferguson in the Cup quarter final v Southampton was more than not playing Nels at Wembley which was at least just a
