How can you forget Remi Garde?
Di Matteo will be a pub quiz question before long. My memory skips straight from McLeish to Sherwood to Bruce. Despite my initial excitement, Lambert was a walking excuse, and everyone after him was a charlatan of some variety.
He steadied the ship.
To be fair to Bruce he was only one game away from matching Dean. I'm delighted we went up with Dean and the current owners for many reasons but let's not forget there were some great times in Bruce's full season. Lest we forget he was in charge for our record points total too.Going back to the relegation season. In some ways the football was stress free because you knew we were going to lose. The Newcastle game that season was genuinely memorable, the inflatable protest coupled with the realisation we might not lose a game for a change. Not exactly a great memory but a decent one.Overall this thread is cathartic because despite our stumbles, isn't it great to be comfortable premier league and not that car crash we were. Maybe 11th isn't that bad
16/17 was a dire season bar Kodjia scoring some nice goals in the run in.
