Relegation from the Prem never crossed my mind back then.
LeeCovFox Posted 10 February 2008 Posted 10 February 2008 A hell of a lot can change in 10 years, and we're certainly not the ones where most has changed. No, you're absolutely right. To a startling extent, especially for clubs of middling size like ourselves, football is, to coin a cliche, cyclical. However, that cannot explain everything. So in answer to the original question, what went wrong? Peter Taylor and John Elsom. A deadly combination of irresponsibility and incompetence.

So in answer to the original question, what went wrong? Peter Taylor and John Elsom. A deadly combination of irresponsibility and incompetence. Without doubt the loss of Martin O'Neill and his replacement with that pathetic excuse for a manager, Taylor, is the reason this club has fallen so far. John Elsom wasn't all bad, however. He was massively instrumental in keeping Martin here longer than otherwise and ridding this club of the Gang of Four.
Sods Posted 11 February 2008 Posted 11 February 2008 A hell of a lot can change in 10 years, and we're certainly not the ones where most has changed. Agreed. 2018 Chelsea 2-0 Arsneal 5-0 Man United 3-0 Derby Fa Cup 10-0 Barcelona 2-0 Liverpool 6-0

We've had far worse directors than him during the past decade..
DB11 Posted 12 February 2008 Posted 12 February 2008 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/951767.stm Foxes' striker Ade Akinbiyi did well to collect a long ball from the Leicester defence but after eluding the Sunderland defence he screwed his effort wide of Thomas Sorensen's right-hand post. :laugh:

MPH Posted 12 February 2008 Posted 12 February 2008 Agreed.2018 Chelsea 2-0 Arsneal 5-0 Man United 3-0 Derby Fa Cup 10-0 Barcelona 2-0 Liverpool 6-0 yup, and ten years after that we would probably fold and go out of buisness..
DanTheFox07 Posted 12 February 2008 Posted 12 February 2008 At least Leeds have had a bigger demise than us yeah don`t joke about that we might be joining them soon
Corky Posted 12 February 2008 Posted 12 February 2008 I don't think Elsom was to blame, he always backed O'Neill when that idiotic "Gang of Four" were hell-bent on destroying our club. It is a shame that we have fallen so far, but in ten years time, you never know, we may be beating those teams again. Who thought after ten O'Neill matches that we would be in Europe a year later? It all went wrong when Heskey left. The club could have progressed even further, but O'Neill probably saw that as lack of ambition and made up his mind to join Celtic. Then Failure came in, wasted £25 million and left us in a hole. We have never recovered from that Wycombe match. If we'd have win that, it could be all so different.
