Totally agree with your comments re: the League Cup winning players and manager.
Turned what should have been our finest hour in modern times into a complete disaster from which we have never recovered.
Got the deckchairs out straight after Wembley.
As for The Carson Factor again I agree. Just when financial support from the owner was essential he proved to be a man of straw.
Been chasing our tails ever since, always lacking any long term plans and never likely to with ten managers in as many years.
I was no fan of the Gollivans but they did, at least give Francis and Bruce time as managers to develop players and styles of play, a luxury not afforded to any recent incumbent.
We also got Yeung because of Gold & Sullivan. So I blame them
