Barring Alan Judge (on loan) every player he brought in was poor. That cannot just be budget. Whoever was in charge of recruitment needed shooting.
I think only Gary mills has as poor a signing record as Short.
If I remember correctly when Short was appointed Trew said they would bring in a Technical Director the week after, it was strongly rumoured to be Paul Hart, then for some unknown reason this failed to happen, the first of Trew's many lies yet we all stupidly blamed Short.
