AndyinLiverpool Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 We've just moved house and whilst sifting through all sorts of crap, I found some old programmes, including one from our match at Aston Villa, 11th April 1979. Within its pages was this little piece comparing the Rams team when Tommy Docherty took over and when this match occurred 18 months later. I don't have it in me to pass any further comment.

RamNut Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 It would have been a difficult task to refresh or rebuild the ageing championship winning side. it is a fair criticism of mackay as a manager that it started to slip under his tenure. when george got injured, davies was sold and lee retired at the same time leaving us very short up front the money seemed to have run out. We weren't investing as we needed to i remember everton kept buying the players who might have been realistic targets for us - dave thomas, duncan mckenzie, mike pejic But even tommy docherty admits he did a crap job here he was like a cross between billy davies and nigel pearson confrontational and with an agenda to impose change asap. it didn't help that a certain big head was building a successful team on a budget 20 miles away.
