Inspired by Hazy's comment about Charlton's sacking of Curbishly "Taken them as far as he could" and Patrick Blue's comment that "It couldn't be topped," I got thinking about some of the almost suicidal decisions that "dear old City" have made over the years.
Suggestions;
Allowing the rags to use Maine Rd after WW2, giving them access to our huge following and the finances to fund their post war rise.
Selecting Alan Ball as the Messiah to start the rebuild after Swales.
Bringing Peter Swales into the club as a peace maker between two rival City factions, that saw us slowly, very slowly bleed to death over the next 10 years.
And not to mention some of the supposed superstars that we chucked tons of cash at for no good reason.
The Steve Daley affair.
Finding out that the fire was no better than the frying pan, from whence we jumped, as Frank Sinatra's billions had been frozen by the Thai government and we were back in the shite again.
Sorry Patrick Blue Mate but your challenge that Charlton couldn't be topped can be destroyed by some of the masochistic shite that City have done.
Oh, the memories, heart ache,stress, worry and the self inflicted misery that City have put us through over the years.....But we survived....I think.
HAVE FUN!!!!!!
