Joe Mercer was more of a general manager at Man City, Malcolm Allison did all the coaching, tactics and recommended the players to buy. Vic Crowe, Ron Saunders, Tony Barton, Graham Taylor, Ron Atkinson, Brian Little, John Gregory, and Martin O'Neill all did good jobs and Graham Turner, Billy McNeil, Jo Venglos and David O'Leary were all mistakes of Doug Ellis's.

Villa managers

We've had 2 Tommys
2 Jimmys
2 Grahams
2 Rons ( not including caretakers)
2 Joes
2 Georges

Mildly interesting I suppose.

Although much more interesting is the list of West Brom managers from 1975-1988.

Seriously - check it on Google if you don't believe me -  the list reads like this:

Johnny
Ronnie
John
Ron
Ronnie
Ron
Jonny
Nobby
Ron

Ron Knee was the manager of Neasden FC and was usually ashen faced.

I am sure we have been through all this before. 

Da do Ron Ron Ron
Da do Ron Ron

Archimedes was quite a useful player though.  Scored the only goal in the Greek Philosophers V German Philosophers football match as I recall.

I saw that.

Some cracking beards on display. Backcombed and luscious IIRC.

Almost rivalled the Bulgaria v Hungary match in the mid 80's as far as excess facial fuzz was concerned. Impressive, as two of those Bulgarian players were actually 6ft human hair follicles. True story.

Engels wrote the match report.

Nietzsche kept on bringing everyone down.

However, Karl Heinrich Marx claimed it was offside - typical German, still he got his own back with the Revolution.
