I wasn't suggesting for a minute that he or anyone should work for nothing but I wonder what his real ambition was?

Judging from his wardrobe and general persona it was to make a name for himself.

Ha yes, I remember that. The fact that these little known players preformed so well in some of theses games against some of these players was the real beauty of FNF.
 

I’m sure man u turned up with a really strong team that night as well due to a number of players returning from injuries looking for fitness etc.

Remember going to one of these v Liverpool,there was a young striker playing for them who stood out......M Owen.

Yeah I agree FNF was good - I thought it was Family Night Football not Friday?? It was on a Monday from memory too??

Yes it was: the "Friday night" was in the puff article about Pierpoint's book.

Yeah it was Family, where does it say Friday? 

 

In the article - I wonder if it says Friday in the book too - that would prove that it wasn't Pierpoint's idea!!

Ouch. 

 

 ...  I've had several business dealings with him. Can't stand the bloke, he's utterly clueless.

I don't know him, so I have no reason to defend him, but as a club we were financially broke before he arrived and nearly went under the year after he left, so he must have made some contribution. 

 

I'm equally aware that his time did coincide with 3 decent managers (Little, McGhee, ONeill) sandwiched between Pleat and Taylor, so he may have struck lucky.
