Very harsh I'd say....at least they have never been relegated out of the league and infact in all those years have not had that many narrow escapes.

Thats my point to call them the worst club is a silly statement

Pity poor Darlo, just when they thought they'd hit rock bottom with the admin struggle, this happens.

Quite right too.....Roichdale are an example of how small clubs should operate they never flirt with administration, live within their means and produce good football year in year out....good luck to them.

Indeed, if we'd kept him we'd have stayed up, maybe even got promoted, after all the 3 wins we managed in his last 23 games in charge was Championship form.

And the 1 win from the 16 (?) games following his departure certainly would have got us promoted?

I think the rot had set in by then and it's difficult to turn round. I attended very few games during the Todd era so it's difficult for me to comment, but the style of football was not to many peoples tastes.

No, but to say we plummeted after getting rid of him is clearly flawed, we were 1 point and 1 place above the relegation zone when he got the boot, having been in the top 4 at the end of October.

The plummet was well under way, and to be quite honest I'd rather spend my money watching us play football in the NE Counties League than whatever game it was Todd had us playing.
