    Simon Grayson (as manager) was a HUGE let down.

    I was convinced he was the best man for the job when we got him, turned out he thought he was better than us.

    McCartan or Reeves.....hmmmm Going with McCartan.

    250k signing...Turns up like hes over weight...just never really got going. He was dreadful. Scored the odd decent goal but for me never good enough.

    Jon Ford - defender I seem to remember
    Robert Zabica - so called keeper
    Shaun Murray - came during Richmond era
    George kulscar - think thats how it's spelt
    Willy Topp - the Chilean wonderkid
    Colin Hoyle - the centre back showing his arse

    Agree that both Kulcsar and Murray were alright.

    From earlier times:

    Ian Banks -- good against us, bad with us, 180,000
    Tony Adcock -- another stricken by the VP curse, 190,000
    Ian McCall -- forgettable, 200,000

    We almost got our money back when moving Banks out. Lost 100,000+ each on the other two, though. Ouch.

    'Robert Zabica: So-Called Keeper' sounds like a wacky character from the kids show Zzzap!

    I always liked Prudhoe, but I was a kid at the time and used to get his autograph before most games and he'd do his Russ Abbott bit so I may be biased! I do remember one particular 0-0 draw with Birmingham he must have made a dozen great saves... most entertaining nil-nil I've seen that I reckon

    Forgot about Hopkin! Probably traumatised after his management spell.

    I thought the way Terry Yorath perused Aizlewood he would be the main man, how wrong could we be, I believe it was Aizlewoods personal terms that took so long sorting as he wanted a club car I believe in the end he got one.

    Beat me to it above but Rupp and Rahic are the absolute #1 let downs for me. Promised us Championship football and PL in 5 year and then turned us into banter fc who dont even have a scouting team, whilst trying to gaslight everyone into thinking everything's going well. Actually if anyone speaks to the club in any capacity like a fans forum or something, can they ask them where we are in the 5 year plan at the moment?
