Hi everyone,
20 years ago I probably said something on a now defunct internet forum.
Someone else said something different and now I'd like to call them a twat.
Love
Hugo

On the old forum I was never the biggest fan of Paul Trollope and at the time I got slaughtered for my comments and insistence on his total lack of man management Some of the things I said in that period included • he had fallen out with Sammy Igoe and Richard Walker • had stopped Walker from training with the first team • had not given him the opportunity to say good bye to the fans All now proven to be true I also stated he was a good coach but a useless manager after leaving Rovers he would never make it as a manager and our decline into L2 and beyond started with PT. His stats as a stand-alone manager were shocking. His recruitment pathetic and his tactics shocking. How he wasn’t sacked after a drubbing at Orient I will never know. Who can remember the marquee signings of Dominic Blizzard and Jeff Hughes. The useless barn door hitting Andy Williams Having read the Richard Walker article it reminded me of how sh** a manager PT was Stapletongas - maybe I knew more than you after all at the time. Wasn’t the first and doubt it will be last. Walker deserved a decent send off - PT showed him no respect And I did put my money where my mouth is and backed us at 10/1 to get relegated OK, I’ll have a nibble on this obvious wind-up, I shouldn’t do but I will. We've had 6 promotions and Trolls was responsible for one, we improved every season he was manager but he eventually got sacked like every other successful manager. Bert Tann, moved upstairs and can’t compare as it was different times. Don M left by what would be called mutual consent, Gerry was courted and DC sacked or by mutual consent. As most other managers he found it difficult to replace good players and was eventually sacked but doesn’t stop him being one of our most successful managers. RW another unhappy at the time but he seems to have accepted it better now than you. And “footballer released when he wanted to stay” isn’t exactly an unusual football story and according to RW Trolls apologised. Not much more you can do once it’s done. And our descent into NL had nothing to do with PT, look a bit closer at Buckle, McGhee, Ward and the players and the board. Plenty of others to blame but not PT. Blimey, it’s 9 years ago, move on. And well done for getting “rich” on our relegation, I’m sure that made it all worthwhile! 😉 UTG!

Since the halcyon days of john ward 1 and Holloway, PT and DC have been our best managers BY A COUNTRY MILE. Have you forgotten that he got us promoted at Wembley and got us to the mickey mouse cup final at Cardiff in the same season? I'd take him back like a shot as manager. DC oversaw us going out of the football league (albeit had only been in post for a few months) but I don't think people will say he did a bad job overall, getting us promoted TWICE and discovering some real gems like matty taylor and Stuart sinclair. However.. Hating on trolls isn't what offends me about your post.. Its backing us to get relegated.. How can you call yourself a true supporter if you did that?? Were you turning up at games hoping we'd lose so you could cash in? Did you go home with a big satisfied grin on your face when our relegation to league 2 was confirmed?? Truly, truly unbelievable.. Are you city in disguise?

Nothing more to be said about this JoeyB really. You're clearly an intelligent bloke who has even written a well-reviewed book, fair play on that. However, please can you do yourself a favour and bury this hatchet that you have to grind with Trolls and Lines.
It can't be healthy to be dwelling on these things for nearly 10 years can it?! Jeeze.

Such a strange post. Andy William's proved to be a good league one striker.He speaks fondly of Trolls despite an argument. Igoe appears to be the one not speaking to any of the others? Does that Rickie Lambert a bad striker? Jeff Hughes was a good player for us. Blizzard- fairpoint. When did he prove this? I didn't follow his career after he left us.

Still bleating on after nearly 15 years JoeyB?! This was boring then and certainly is now. Funny how people like GGMI get grief for digging up threads that are months old just to say 'told you so', well JoeyB has gone back 15 years here to do the same! Incredibly petty and self absorbent. Safe to assume your next thread will be 'Chris Lines drinks Corona'?

However, please can you do yourself a favour and bury this hatchet that you have to grind with Trolls and Lines. It can't be healthy to be dwelling on these things for nearly 10 years can it?! Jeeze. I am told that there were only 3 negative reviews. 1. ''John Trollope's Lad''(?) 2. ''walker by name; walker by nature'' 3. ''Wanna Corona? Form a Line'' Have been unable to identify these unimpressed readers. Any ideas?
