LETS GIVE TAYLOR A WARM WELCOME HOME

[petejan]

I was reading in the paper that Taylor says that he is looking forward to coming home to southend and he hopes his HULL side get there three points they need for promotion and he doesnt care if they get them at Roots hall or timbucktoo .Well Mr taylor I hope every SHRIMPER sends who home with nothing but warm ears .

 

[Bigdel]

IMHO he ranks as one of our worst managers,alongside Bobby Moore.

Await the flak,from the " He's southend through and through brigade "

 

[Welsh_Shrimperz]

He will get a big "welcome home" from us, but we are still in a chance for a 10th place finish so hopefully Taylor might have to put their party until Sat 24th.

 

[LITTLEMAN]

How many are Hull bringing?

 

[The General]

I'll give Spud a wave ... a back-hand one!!

Kev

P.s About 500/600 Littleman. Wud have been more had it been played on the Saturday. Hopefully we can try and reach 6000 this Tuesday, but i reckon it will be more like 5000 as the club dont seem to have advertised it that well ...

 

[TrueBlue]

what are the chances there coach gets bricked after it happend to us up there? not that i accept mindless thuggery!

 

[footymad13]

I think Hull will pack out the North Stand, Its a massive game for them and most of um will wanna see them get promotion.

 

[petejan]

Well hopefully its going to be a wasted jorney for them its a long night home pointless .

 

[Smiffy]

we all forget the pull of the champs league semis might make a few stay at home on the sofa??!!. Sad people.

Shame on all of you.

I watched Spud play many times, and yes, he is as "Southend" as Steve Tilson. He gave up a very good job to come back into football with the Blues, and he did his best for us. He didn't walk out on the club like some, nor did he waste his time boozing it up with the lads instead of setting an example like others. What do you expect him to say about the match? "Oh yes, Southend, well I've told the lads to go easy and drop the points 'cos I'm a big Southend fan?" Get Real!!

On other threads you are "voting off" Rawle for being a judas. Spud was an ever-loyal servant of this club, and should get as warm a welcome as Chrissie Powel did.

 

[The General]

He's a lovely bloke though. My dad played vet's football with him for quite a few years (in my younger days - well 6-10 years ago) and would always say hello and have a chat. Shame he wasn't a success here and best of luck to him!

Totally agreed,

Always liked Peter Taylor, always puts in a good word for Southend and always said he would love to come back the club.

I believe he will be back and i for one would love to see him back at Southend i think he would do a good job.

I will be giving him a good reception.

P.S 4thman, what bout d**k Bate ?

You must have been about six when Taylor managed Southend.

 

[overseas shrimper]

I agree with S I K that Taylor is a Southend man and gave us his all and for that, he deserves our respect... but as our manager, it is only right to say that his 'all' wasn't good enough. We played boring football under his guidance and the results were not impressive.

Don't forget he played for and managed England.

As for his comments about three points. What do you expect him to say? What would people think if he came out with, "I like Southend and I am going to make sure we lose to ensure they are safe for next season?" I can't believe people are upset with him for saying exactly what he has to say.

People also seem to assume we were a bad team under him, but don't forget the team he was left with. They were Barry Fry's travelling circus. All the team wanted to leave and move to Birmingham (except Gridlet who turned them down).

I bumped in to Peter Taylor a few years back on holiday and spent a night talking to him and has wife about his SUFC days. He told me that at Chriss Powells wedding a few of the players came up to him (including Ricky Otto) and apologised for making life difficult for him at Southend.

They knew what they were doing; they all thought that if they were bad enough he would let them all go to Brum.

I also remember a few years after that when he went to Brighton he said that he was worried about taking over a successful team because the players may resent him. He's obviously learnt his lessons the hard way!

Your f**king living in dream world, they'll bring about 2200,

you have no experience on things like this what so ever

 

[tommytwoholes]

I reckon about 2000 mad hull fans and about 5500-6000 home fans should make it biggest crowd this season. And i like spud as he was good for this club but he manages a rival and as such will get all the usual banter that comes with. Thats not to say we dont think highly of him!!
