The only thing I’ll add here is that there’s plenty of blame to go around for that season and I don’t think anyone at the club can say they weren’t culpable for our relegation. I’d pin the least blame on Kewell of the three managers, the most on Ardley, who had ample time to save the season but failed miserably. But Nolan also deserves a lot of criticism for that dreadful squad and collection of bad apples he bequeathed his successors (Richard Duffy!). I just hope we never get into such a mess ever again.
