if mccreadie had got his motor it would not made a lot of difference as i think those players were over hyped, as for Glenn it was unbelievable that we were now PASSING the ball out of defence instead of hoofing it out. Under the doc we could not handle the big occasion and some of the tactics ie 67 final, and to much reliance on one player in 66 67

I take it you're referring to Peter Osgood who missed most of the season after Emlyn 'C*ntface' Hughes broke his leg. Tony Hateley was certainly no replacement!

The Chelsea side in 66/67 was possibly our weakest since our return to Division 1. We'd lost Terry Venables, George Graham, Barry Bridges and Bert Murray which Docherty has to take at least partial blame for, plus Ken Shellito had retired due to injury. To be fair to The Doc though, he brought in Charlie Cooke to replace Venables, and got Baldwin for Graham.

 
graham for baldwin, not sure about that, however he became a cult figure as the song says. 66 67 started off well, but hateley for osgood ? We used to be a footballing side and then we were just lobbing it forward to find hateley, that is where the doc s jugement comes into questoin!

Hateley was only ever going to be a temporary replacement until Ossie was fit again. I think Docherty was swayed by Hateley's performance against us a few weeks before in our 6-2 win at Villa, where he had a very good game despite the scoreline. I reckon it was a mid-season panic buy, Hateley was brilliant in the air but sh*te at everything else - as soon as Ossie was fit again, Hateley was shipped out to Liverpool for the same amount we bought him for, £100,000. He scored 9 goals in 33 appearances, not good enough at that level.

 
last appearance in the final of67 and also alan harris, i thought alan harris was solid

 
Only seen Chelsea since Hoddle, so for me it has to be him. Brought in some great players, started the revolution in the way we played, and formed us into the type of club we are today...

Other than that it as Jose, but I hope Carlo can give him a run. As much as I loved jose I hated the press and reputation he gave the club.

I also think Guus ould be brilliant.

Also, Wilkins has a 100% record!

 
re Hateley, he did score some important goals ie against Sheffield Utd and Leeds in the cup and then next season against us in the league for Liverpool he scores two against us and plays a blinder. Also alledegly he was a bit of a comedian
