stevegrant Posted 6 December, 2011 Share Posted 6 December, 2011 To be fair to him, he's actually done a reasonable job at Hartlepool, and looking at a Hartlepool forum, most of their fans seem quite surprised he's been sacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkeith Posted 6 December, 2011 Share Posted 6 December, 2011 Foleys coach to Bristol City in the early 80's. Someone wanted the skylight open at the back, the people on the back seat wanted it closed. Result ? The skylight was last seen flying off the A36 and we came home with someone sat on the roof, and snow coming in the back. Freezing. Wadsworth runs it a close second though.

And my mate, who didnt even support Saints, threatened the driver when he wouldnt stop at a pub on the way home. At least it didnt break down, like the one we had earlier that year, coming back from Everton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoke to a few Bournemouth players when I worked down there. When Bond was in charge, they seriously considered not turning up to training because they disliked him so much. When they did train, they never listened to a word he said and never spoke to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friday night game, last working day before Xmas, 1979, my first works ****-up as a 17 y-o apprentice. After getting barred from a couple of pubs in Town me and my mate jumped in the back of a small removals van full of Thornhill nutters at the Civic and went to Bristol. On the way up someone kicked the roller-shutter door off the back, it was freezing, uncomfortable and snowing. After beating City 1-0 (IIRC) we jumped on Foleys coach to get home, there were loads of us sitting on the floor and Clive wasn't happy but saw sense and got us home. So no, Foley's was a top coach that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Boy Saint Posted 6 December, 2011 Share Posted 6 December, 2011 Spoke to a few Bournemouth players when I worked down there. When Bond was in charge, they seriously considered not turning up to training because they disliked him so much. When they did train, they never listened to a word he said and never spoke to him. Funny that, in that fateful season when we dropped through the top flight, trap door. Dennis Rofe gave the post warm up pep talk on the pitch prior to the famous Norwich game his body language was positive and pumped up. 2 weeks later prior to the final game v Man U the post warm up pep talk was given by Bond, and from the same position in the stands it just lacked the passion & looked totally uninspiring.

Minty Posted 7 December, 2011 Share Posted 7 December, 2011 From what I've heard, Gray would have done a lot better without Wadsworth. He felt he needed someone to be his taskmaster alongside him as he had such a good relationship with so many players, that he didn't want that to cause problems but actually the opposite was true; Wadsworth shouted and bawled his way through the club and ******ed everybody off with his sergeant-major ways, backed up by bugger all coaching skills.

ecuk268 Posted 7 December, 2011 Share Posted 7 December, 2011 If his coaching was anything like the crap he spouts on matchdays then DM must be right up there. A bit cruel. Dave might be a daft old sod at times but his heart's in the right place. An outstanding youth coach. Saints youth team walked the league, scoring over 100 goals. He brought through players like Shearer, MLT and the Wallaces. Both Shearer and MLT say he was a key factor in their success, indeed, Shearer gave him his first England shirt as a token of his thanks. He kept us up in his year in charge (the year of the Man U "invisible" shirts game), despite having to cope with his wife's serious illness and was rewarded with the sack.

InvictaSaint Posted 7 December, 2011 Share Posted 7 December, 2011 Kevin Bond. Possibly the luckiest man in football, has held onto Redcrapp's coat tails and look where its got him ! Seconded! Whenever I see him on tv, I just want to shout. What talent does he actually have and what on earth does he do??! He's like a throwback to the 60s where some bloke with a medicine ball just stood on the sidelines pretending to be talented / useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
