| We see a very good, and proven manager sacked after 5 months. Martin O'Neil sacked by Nottingham Forest. A club he served well and won much with them as a class player under Brian Clough. And why? Because: Forest have acted after reported discontent in the dressing room concerning O’Neill’s training methods. Yep, and one thing for sure NONE of the them will ever achieve the heights of Martins as A player.
Probably not as an manager either! Nor in all probability as a man!

| Said previously, too much player power.
Players paid too much.
Too many foreign players.
Sport too scientific, get on Oliver's Mount and see how football should be played.
Soon the women will be demanding and deserving the same as the men.
Too many fairies involved in all aspects.
Just a few problems amongst others.
Regards.

| To think that the Likes of Sir Stanley Matthews, Tommy Lawton, Nat Lofthouse, Roy Bentley, even arguably the greatest player ever Duncan Edwards started off clean the boots of the older players when they started. After the First World War professional footballers received a maximum weekly wage of £10. In 1920 the Football League Management Committee proposed a reduction to £9 per week maximum. Buchan was one of those who called for the AFU to resort to strike action. However, large numbers of players resigned from the union and the Football League was able to impose the £9 maximum wage. The following year it was reduced to £8 for a 37 weeks playing season and £6 for the 15 weeks close season. Despite the efforts of the Players' Union, there was no other change until 1945 when the maximum close season wage was increased to £7 per week. Two years later a National Arbitration Tribunal was established. It decided that the maximum wage should be raised to £12 in the playing season and £10 in the close season. The minimum wage for players over 20 was set at £7. The maximum wage was increased to £14 (1951), £15 (1953), £17 (1957) and £20 (1958). The union argued that in 1939 the footballers' £8 was approximately double the average industrial wage, by 1960 the gap had narrowed to £5 with these figures standing at £20 and £15 respectively. The players made further wage demands in 1960 and when these were backed by a threat to strike on 14th January, 1961. The Football League responded by abolishing the maximum wage. Johnny Haynes, the England captain, became the first £100 per-week player. However, some clubs such as Liverpool attempted to enforce unofficial wage ceilings. For example, Manchester United paid a maximum wage of £50 a week.
Ah, never had it so good … well for the fans that is lol. |

| I remember well the days of Stubbing boots and balls. When a pigs bladder was placed inside the leather ball and blown up, the end tube then folded and laced up to stop any air escaping. The weight, gosh, and then the fear of the Football lace! When fearfully you went up and headed a ball, and the head seems to squash the neck which appeared to sink between the shoulders lol.
Yes, and the urine was saved for new boots... when you put your boots you were wearing into bowls or urine to soften and mould to your feet lol.
Mind you; there was a time when pubs had baths, especially for the collection of urine … sold and used in dye. Never had it so good lol … Mind them days, and I well remember playing other villages and towns as a kid. Once we set out just before 8 in the morning and walked in the snow and the drifts nearly 3 miles across the fields to Woodford. Then we cleared the lines of the snow to play football! Then we walked home. |

| Neve came across urine being used in football {you learn something every day).
Used pig bladder without the leather case.
Dubbin we used on both the leather ball and our boots.
We started off as youngsters using a tennis ball and the gate openings as goals on the street. Cricket a dust bin for wickets and tennis ball, bat made from piece of wood.
School started using leather ball with inner tube, if not fully inflated not only heavy but lethal when heading it and if in particular both not inflated and also wet ??????.
Very nice set of apparent stiches on the forehead along with a headache.
Played both from being junior to leaving the army, enjoyed the tennis ball and those I played with better than at any other time.
Regards.

| Think they called it a bladder and not an inner tube.

| On thinking back I can remember using a bike pump and a one way valve to blow up the rubber bladder, you had to tie the lug with string tuck it into the ball and tie the lace, it was hard to get a neat finish.
Called the good old days.
