Ironically missed out Cardiff in 2012 under Malky

Imagine if we had managed to attract a manager who had reached a league cup final rather than a youth cup final!

The previous mention was Dave Jones' Cardiff who reached the FA Cup final in 2008. That's right, f**kern Cardiff reached two cup finals in 4 years!

Add that in and that's well over 25% of cup finalist teams teams (obviously some twice) that have that have been made up by smallish clubs in the in the past decade. There could be more, but I haven't checked and don't need to really.

        Who Walker? No, pretty sure he was youth/reserve tema manager. (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, May 22, 22:26:56
        
        Same thing I suppose, reserve team boss / assistant / 2nd in command (NCFC) - phrankin, May 22, 22:32:58
        
        Apparently Dave Williams was Stringer's assistant (NCFC) - phrankin, May 22, 22:34:24

        sacked whilst top of the league I believe... (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, May 22, 22:18:05
        
        Yep, he must've monumentally fucked up to manage that. (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, May 22, 22:18:40
        
        who knows eh... they certainly sacked a fucking excellent manager. (NCFC) - phrankin, May 22, 22:21:34
