This!I liked the football we played when he was our manager and he perked up the atmosphere at the Lane when he took over,definite feel good factor,buying players like Gazza. Liked him as England boss as well.
But he was also a crook who could have done us untold damage,and very nearly did.
This!
From loving the man for his connections with our club as a player, for his ability as a Manager, for his charisma within the game. He has my support in the whole battle with Sugar, then received the biggest kick in the bollocks when discovered he was nicking off the club.
When you get behind someone give them your support it fucking hurts more when he lets you down. Hard not to take it personally too. But I was a young naive lad back then, part of my own education in looking at things with objectivity.
Not sure mate but that's what I call "business" (don't know if there were any shenanigans behind it).Didn't he also buy 51% of Portsmouth for £1, quit and walk away with 500k of their money?
The Trophy CabinetIf I remember rightly, there were reports that he was selling assets belonging to the club and pocketing the cash but I can't remember what those assets were.
Will love him 4eva for Euro96 if nothing else, what a time to be alive!

DonePeople should really put "He's not dead btw" on these thread titles...
I think Euro 96 is viewed with rose tinted glasses.
Yes, the atmosphere in the country was great but England didn't play as well as people say.
We were bad against Switzerland, bad for the majority of the Scotland game, excellent against Holland, bad and very lucky against Spain...
We had a once in a lifetime opportunity to reach the Final in playing Germany without Klinsmann at Wembley but we lost.
Tbh as soon as i saw just 'terry venables ' as the thread headline earlier my heart sank immediatley !Thread title looks a bit mental
