Jimmy Hill

 This championship has been really exciting , it will be right to the very end. I remember when it was two points for a win, Jimmy Hill one of our own came up with three points for a win and you got to say it improved the game. Teams have to think differently, make decisions. Last night the half time team talks were massive and the  in Game decisions that were made. Colin at 1-0 and Colin at 1-1 . He decided to be positive but only succeeded to make his side more reminiscent of a basketball team with just big lumps and no flair. Derby continued to play football and made good substitutions . The confidence rose in Derbys performance. Was a bit like us at Millwall really.
A point was not good for Cardiff or Derby the dynamics of the league changes with almost every result. Was it ever really this exciting with two points for a win ?

No, not really. Paul Tisdale, the Exeter manager, encouraged his teams to play for wins on the basis that one win was better than two draws. Three points allows for changes in table positions to take place more rapidly.

I love your term "basketball team".

They all laughed at Jimmy when he came up with the idea. Now every league in the world uses it.

Jimmy did so much for football in general as well as for Fulham in particular. Is their a statue of him at Coventry, if not why not.

The irony is, that we missed out on the Title when we went up in 1997 because of the '3 points for a win' rule.
Wigan would have had 61 points & Fulham 62 points!
This season the table would be:
Wolves 68 pts
Fulham 61
Cardiff  60
A.Villa   58
Derby    52
M'Boro   51
Thanks Jimmy!  ;)

There is at the roicoh arena,Coventry city's adopted home as they have been well and truly sold out by so called custodians of the club, business people.
