Ian Burchnall 50 Up

So did the managers who signed them!

Makes you wonder what our recruitment process actually was during some of our more chaotic seasons. I'd love to know how many players we've signed since Munto without having watched them.

I'm sure others will already have the answers but I hate to think how many players we signed since the start of the previous decade (and how many of them never made a first team appearance)

I think we had a 'Branstonian' process. It certainly left us in a pickle.

I think it's probably best not to know tbh lol. I suspect it would have been similar to how they pick who goes through in X factor. Or maybe they used the old board game "Guess Who" as inspiration?!

I honestly believe our past recruitment policy and transfer activity has been woeful at best and is one of the main reasons we have been (until recently) in terminal decline.

Earlier this season someone on here questioned which signings had made our squad better this season? With I believe only a solitary name being suggested. So either IB is a wizard on the training ground since or the real answer was a fair bit higher.
