The Official RIP Thread

Just seen that.

RIP Jim Smith.

A legend round Oxford United parts . Leading them to consecutive promotions to the old first division in the mid 80's. Then quit as the then owner Robert Maxwell failed to improve his contract. It was basically his side that won the league cup the following year (ironically against a QPR side he was managing).

Sounds familiar that actually doesn't it. One of a clubs most successful manager gets stitched up by the board and ends up leaving with the club then having its finest moment not long later!
 
Few old people from the cold and poor social care provisions, couple of homeless guys on the street.
