[Merthyr Imp]

Graham Taylor in his first season as manager in 1972/73 during the winless start?

It WAS Graham Taylor but not then. For the rest of the points can you - or anyone else - say when he said it?

I'd half expected that the reference to getting the sack might have given a clue - thinking of that notorious 'fly-on-the-wall' documentary about his time as England manager.

Does anyone want to have a go at when Graham Taylor said the above?

 

[Merthyr Imp]

Evidently not, so I'll say that it was a week before the start of the 1974/75 season following some desperately poor performances in three pre-season friendlies including losing 1-0 to Chelmsford City and by 4-1 at home to Charlton.

Something I always cite when pointing out that pre-season matches are never any guide as to how things will turn out in the season to come.
