There were many more culprits for our demise in 1991 - the board kept selling good players (e.g. Burrows and Palmer) and appointing bad managers (Gould). Talbot completely lost the plot as a manager once he stopped playing himself, he was mental to go all long ball with Big Sam as his first team coach. Can't blame Ron Saunders for any of that.
RIP Ron. A huge legacy in the game, just not for us!
Yes this is my recollection too.
If we'd had social media in the 90s we'd all have been in meltdown.
Dire, dire times, which lasted, basically, from BFR's departure until Thomson and sir Gary
I don't blame any of the managers. The club was a third rate mess, and they all - Smith, Buckley, Talbot, and the rest, made the best of a bad job.
