Safe to say, football wasn't their main interest.Were they semi pro back then?

Apologies...too quick on the draw!Did you read the OP?
No? Try reading it then
IMO Tommy Doc's greatest contribution to the club wasn't just the new team he put together, it was the getting rid of the previous lot. He got rid of players who wanted to play where they wanted, who wouldn't train properly, who wanted to improve their golf handicap more than their on the pitch game, whose outside interests were getting their priority, etc. Tommy did what Ralf has to do now and clear out the stables, it meant the club going down to Div 2 for a season, but it cleared the decks.I doubt it. Don’t get me wrong, I liked the Doc’s footballing philosophy but I don’t think he was a league winning manager. We did play some exciting football under him. Loved Hill, Coppell, Pearson, Macari, Buchan etc etc.
Exactly. He cleaned up the squad. RR needs to do the same.IMO Tommy Doc's greatest contribution to the club wasn't just the new team he put together, it was the getting rid of the previous lot.

6 pointer against saints soon. Nail biter of a game. Hopefully liverpool play their reserve team against us next week to give us some semblance of a chance. Its like shooting a injured bambi. No sport.It’s going to get a lot worse. Players are not recovering from this. I honestly think we will be battling relegation this season
For me, the players he have arent good enough, arent buying his system and are down to dogshit levels two games in.It’s going to get a lot worse. Players are not recovering from this. I honestly think we will be battling relegation this season
It will be like last season. After twatting the piss out of us and playing with our entrails they'll decided to take it easy and pass it about for 30 mins.God help us if Liverpool are clinical next week
50% aint enoughCan we just bin half the squad please
At least last season we had the hope of a new manager coming in and magically improving us. This is worse for me as I don't see any way out and the squad has arguably gotten even weaker from last season. And the hammerings at home from Liverpool and City are yet to come.The worst has to be last season, hammerings at home from both Liverpool and City, not sacking Ole after them, then only pulling the trigger after another thumping from Watford away.
Yep, not a single player on this team currently I'm excited to watch playAbsolutely. Can't stand most of them. At least in the 80's I saw players like Robson that gave a stuff.
