And I believe Frank O'Farrell also turned down Ipswich at the time. Given we had the smallest gates in division 1 except for Burnley & very little money, Town were seen as perpetual relegation battlers and not an attractive option. | |

It just highlights that by far the most important person at a football club is the manager. You can have the best (or maybe even the worst) infrastructure, but the manager’s talent will make or break a club’s success on the pitch over the long term. [Post edited 11 Jun 2022 10:10]

And Robson certainly wasn't popular in his first 2 and a half seasons, as Town struggled to score goals & continued to battle relegation. | |
