ON THIS DAY - December 9th 2004

Ramon Diaz, plus his 7 back-room staff all joined Utd

They were big hits at the club, bringing in some unbelievably good & some unbelievably bad talent along the way.

An end of season argument between Kassam and Diaz led to a sour ending.

@DavePritchard83 Question Dave…..

Biggest turning point in the 15/16 season?

And biggest win of the 15/16 season?

Luton at home was a massive defeat at the time. As was Orient 0-1
