    Probably similar. A few lesser trophies won each.

    You either weren't a supporter under the Hall/Shepherd era or you have a bad memory or a selective memory. Don't you recall all of those nights in Europe for instance. Humping Manure and within a whisker of being league champions.

    Is that "probably similar" in your eyes.

    I didn't know that was classed as success.
    So, are we talking about nearly stuff or actual success?

    I class success as winning stuff. Trophies of whatever kind.
    And again, going by that I'd say it was fairly even.

    If you want to come back with how many champions league games they've both had then Hall wins hands down.
    Is this what you meant rather than being successful?

    buttkk threw it away
    and sheppard brought in the wrong player

    so we have as many trophies in the cabinet under ash as we did sheppard

    SOME OF us had good days out in europe
    te rest watched it on the telly

    infact we have 2 more trophies under ash than we did sheppard

    and believe me they were great days out

    probabaly not prem days like the stay aways wanted but as a match going fan believe me i would play any day in the fizzy over the prem .a much better experiance
