Lee Hughes turned us down earlier that summer and then signed post Munto.
And even that money doesn?t buy you good players.

As well as those mentioned there was Adi Akinbayi, Grahame fall on the floor Lee, and Karl ?can?t score anymore? Hawley.

So it wasn?t all roses.

The pre season strategy admitted by McParland and Kevan, wasn?t exactly Radar, it was to sign ?captains?.

Since captains are usually the better players in the side (wtf went wrong with Cameron) and money was no object that sort of worked out. Very scientific.
