Unfinished business? Crikey, I remember the mess he got us into, the Pipers, Jimmy Jackson, Leon Braithwaite, the 0-9 Hereford game.

...and that's to say nothing of the Fitzroy Simpson debacle.

I remember the pipers they were like a comedy act!
Jackson wasn't awful just never as good as everyone said he would be and braithwaite had some good moments! Really enjoyed those days. Wouldn't want them again though 😂

There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

To add to that: the FA eventually closed the case saying there was “ a lack of corroborative evidence.” This after 9 months + of less than transparent activity or lack of. So the case was unresolved, an unsatisfactory outcome for all parties involved. It left many of us with a sour taste. It was unfortunately at a time when some of our players suffered racist abuse from the terraces.
As to the general matter of wanting former players/managers back at the club...memories are so short in football!

Braithewaite’s had some good moments? I recall only one, when he left.

I think the home defeat against Gravesend (?0-4) which ended his reign was worse than the 0-9.
