I was talking to the bloke next to me at the game, he tells me that his nephew is working at he club at the moment (I'm not telling you in what capacity). Anyway he has spent a lot of time with the players, who told him some awful stories during Dowies tenure. Aledgedly Dowie was not turning up for team talks until 5 minutes before the match started, also a lot of the time the team talks were given by his brother Bob!!! Matt Holland stood up to Dowie and voiced his concerns about this and was dropped. During another incident at half-time Bob Dowie was rollicking the players, Matty Holland leaves the dressing room goes all the way up to the directors box in his kit and boots, drags Reg varney down to the dressing room, Reg sees Bob Dowie still ranting on, he then confronts him tells him' Phuck off, your not employed by this club, what the hell are you doing here?' And has him removed. He then sits down with the players and they spill the beans about Dowies 'management style'. Reg had know idea what had been going on, Dowie left shortly afterwards. So much for the camaraderie that the Elephant Man used to voice. I have no reason to disbelieve this story and more, can all you lot that go to these hush hush meetings concure.

I like it tho, visualising Matty tramping up the stairs!!
I would put the 'bollocks' reading attributed to what you was told at somewhere between 95-100% !!!
