I wonder how many man-hours went into trying to sign Dawson and Lansbury, must have been hundreds, and we never signed either of them in the end. XDQuote:

I like what I am seeing and in the long run it could work out great.Buy them young and relatively cheap from Europe-develop them and then cash in.Luvvly jubbly.

Good point BT what where they doing and to top that where’s the money, close to 900 million in the last six years ( sky money alone ) , what did Garlick do with it over that period - we didn’t spend a lot on players I know that much.Quote:

I can't find anything in there explaining 'what went wrong'. What went wrong anyway, a small town club survived 6 year in the PL on next to no money, far longer than anyone anticipated or forecast, before economic reality kicked in and they were relegated. Seems to me that there can't have been much wrong, and an awful lot must have gone right.Quote:
