Royle was enormously over rated. People liked the football because he had a phenomenal squad for the level and was then blessed with some great talent like Bent. He utterly wasted the chance and then destroyed us. His signings were Jewellesque and he left with us in free fall. Mick was miles better all in all for expectation vs achievement |
What utter oblox! |  | | |

Chris Bart Williams was a another midfield flop at that time. |
Chris Bart-Williams was good for the season he was with us. His job was to sit in front of the back four, mop up and give the ball to Magilton. Also scored a fine goal at Cardiff. |  |

He was solely responsible for our failure of securing automatic promotion in 04/05 imo. I remember we had a crucial away game v Wolves and for some reason unknown to man he changed the team/formation. We lost, our form dipped and we slipped to 3rd. |
We were already third favourite by the time we lost at Wolves.
The thing that cost is was Kuqi getting injured and us losing all three matches he missed. Scowcroft came in and wasn't up to speed. We lost at home to Watford and QPR, then went to Wigan and lost 1-0. A six point lead turned into the 3 point deficit and we never got back into the top two. We should have went up, this was out best side since 2001.
As for Royle, I thought he was magnificent, as was Reuser. | |

In fairness to Royle, he had barely any budget to work with and generally seemed to sort us out at half time
It seemed to be fairly rare that Royle would name a side you'd be disappointed with
I do agree, Reuser should have played more under him but at the same time, there may have been clauses in his contract which prevented us playing him more often, I don't know. We had no money following the Stadium Redevelopment and the collapse of ITV Digital. You didn't get massive parachute payments then.
We still had Finidi at the start of Championship season but I believe we couldn't play him because we had no money and his appearance fee was very expensive. I'm sure he'd have ripped the Championship up.
I imagine he has gone before Royle came in
Royle was unlucky in the fact we had a very good Wigan side and a very good Sunderland who pipped us to promotion at the end
Shefki's injury for a month killed us that season. Kuqi was arguably more important to us than Bent.
Missing out on Promotion that season has to be the most significant event for Town in the last 20 years. Even if we'd only stayed there a season, we'd have been setup for the next couple. [Post edited 23 Apr 2020 23:07]

I was fairly young at the time but I remember Bart-Williams, along with Alan Mahon, being a relatively successful loan player at the time. Trouble is, at the time watching us was a joy so I don't remember disliking many players! |
Alan Mahon, what a player
Not signing him was probably the difference between us and Wigan that season sadly. He had also been interested in Huckerby I believe before he went to Norwich.
That Wigan team under Jewell was awesome and they then went to the Premier League and did pretty well?
If only Royle had had some money for a defence | |

Perhaps we’re forgetting that it is Reuser’s colleagues that are picking the teams here?
Perhaps he wasn’t particularly popular amongst his contemporaries?
Perhaps there was an issue between him and another team’mate’?
Perhaps he’d been a bit naughty, or something? |  |

Why? He was different class. Being a striker is more about scoring goals and his team mates will recognise his hold up play, same with others picking scowy.
Pablo at his best was unplayable at our level |  |

Make your head check ! Although it might not help you.
Your post....what a fookin lunacy !
How on earth Royle 'destroyed' us? He had lost 4 key players after 2004/05 therefore we could have easily ended up in the relegation battle. But 14th place was a respectable one given the circumstances.
Royle was miles better than mccarthy. The latter lost Murphy in 2017/18 (only 1 key player in compare to Royle's 4) and we finished only 4 points off the relegation. We could have got relegated but for the Bart's incredible saves.
You defying facts and logic is nothing new. It's only your prejudice by which you talk badly about Royle. You dislike him for your own weird reasons but him departing was probably a biggest mistake towards the end of pre-Evans era. And we ended up with the cheap option Magilton who himself wasted loads of cash when he got money.
Joe Royle was by far the best manager we've had since 2002. [Post edited 24 Apr 2020 15:37]

Proudlock, Fish and to top it off the budget blown on Sammy Parkin FML |
Imagine budget being blown on Emyr Huws ! That's a way above anything else. Emyr '56 setbacks' Huws and still can't shine as a footballer even in League One.
Not only him. Imagine budget being blown on Tom Adeyemi and other sicknotes !
And also we offered contracts to Stephen Gleeson and Giles Coke !
That list can go on and on. | | | |

Sorry folks, but another edit job. Murphy left in 2016/17 and we were 15th in Joe’s last season.
In terms of content, I agree with you, but would also give a shout out to Tom Lawrence for services rendered in 16/17. | | | |

Just to confirm what I manage to take in from one of your mad rants. Mick only lost one player (murphy) but he wasted his budget on players that then got injured. Piece those things together for me if you can.
BFJ was terrible and mick is in our top 5 managers of all time. Cheers | |

Kuqi has selected Pablo as the best centre-forward so that argument is now settled. |  |

Absolutely spot on.... I also felt Scowcroft was the wrong signing and we should have got Hulse from Crewe on loan.
Conceding in injury time just after going in front was criminal at Reading, and then those two home defeats in a week against Watford and QPR was the icing.
Loved that season for excitement and nothing has really been close since.
And yes, if we’d have won promotion that season it’s very unlikely Marcus Evans would have come in.... love hindsight |  | | |

Royle had to sort Burleys mess and still managed to finish just outside top 6. Things would have been better if Sheepshanks hadn't sold Ambrose and Hreidarsson. | | | |
