Yep. Arguably Jones should be on the list, he certainly made a big contribution to the 2nd promotion to the championship. In terms of Mickey Walker, my memory's' failing me on how many games he was in charge and whether he did owt significant?

Barring an outrageous stroke of good luck, he would have lost not only the title but also promotion.

Flynn has a clean record.I don't attribute a great deal to Saunders. As you've quoted a number of times, we had a very healthy budget that year, and I think the players probably could have managed themselves given the strength of characters in the dressing room.

On this, something that does become apparent is that we should be a club that managers actively look at when the job comes up.The fact we've only had 6 permanent managers in 15/16 years is staggering in this day and age.Surely managers would look at it as a chance to show their worth at a club who don't sack managers left, right and centre.

Aye. It's amazing that Dickov came within a gnat's chuff of keeping us in the Championship.
Or if Dickov had just parked the bus in one of the final seven games rather than insist on going for the win in every match...
