The catalogue of mismanagement at City over the past 15 years is so extensive and so warped that even as a fan it sometimes feels impossible to keep track

In October 1991 I went with my dad and cousin to Edgar Street, the rickety home of Hereford United, to watch them play Aldershot in the old fourth division. The match itself was a forgettable experience but afterwards we at least got the autograph of Greg “he’s got no hair, but we don’t care” Downs. The former Coventry City full-back and FA Cup winner, who would go on to become the Bulls’ player-manager, had been signed for Hereford by John Sillett, the architect of that most unexpected of triumphs for the Sky Blues in 1987.
