Wos is name?

Got to be Jimmy Scoular for me

Eddie May. Those days were fantastic. Getting the same sort of buzz now with Malky.

From past experience - EDDIE MAY

I was around for the Eddie May years and they were good days, some awesome
away trips, so I'd have to go with 'wos is name?'

lew clayton

Got to be Jimmy Scoular for me

ME 2

Before my time but would have to say Bill Jones, being the last manager to get us promoted to the top flight.
Others worthy of mention are Jimmy Scoular, Jimmy Andrews, Len Ashurst [first time], Frank Burrows, Eddie May, Lennie Lawrence, & even,, yes,,, Dave Jones,,,,all for different reasons.

Len ashurst first time is the one I can remember most as a kid loved going to watch City then dave bennet his brother PETER KITCHEN who was shit but I loved it all the same.
You could chose lots of managers-
I remember Jimmey andrews just but very young so no comment.
Lennie lawrance for getting us in the championship
Eddie mays barmy army for just max enjoyment at every game
Dave Jones for getting us so near but so far away from the prem +FA CUP

Theses are my top 4 if I had to make a choice its going to Lennie Lawrance he started the good times lots of fans now take for granted .Never forget that day out against qpr at the millennium stadium and andy campbells winner fans jumping into my broken arm that I had at the time.Best day as a City fan for me .And the Sam Hamman years when it was good it was amazing so Lennie has my vote.

its got to be my name sake jimmy scoular he was the manager when i first started going down to watch the mighty bluebirds

Well done to you for that mate brings back some good and bad memories for me would be interesting to see who wins best chairman.

the best chairman hasgot to be bob grogan in my opinion

"Eddie May Barmy Army",,,one of the BEST!

Scoular for me but the Eddie May years were certainly some of the most enjoyable in more than 40 years supporting City.
