Pound for Pound Biggest Let Downs

He was a bad appointment, but Todd should never have been sacked. Simply he thought he was helping. No different to Shearer when he took the job at Newcastle and they got relegated. If a manager is hired who is out of their depth the one doing the hiring has to be held accountable, as you say Julian.

 

or being run by perennial losers

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^100%.

 

Would you put Whetherall in that category?

 

We've signed more shite than quality every level we've been at, pretty much every year for the last 20. Bar maybe 2 or 3. We've been a shambolically run club for years.

 

Wetherhall was only a loser while he was here.

 

Really? Every team signs duds. But only those who consistently sign more garbage than quality are those who continue to regress. I think you'd have to go some, to find a club whose recruitment performance has been as bad as ours- consistently, over a similar period.

We're a poorly run club, top down. And have been for a long while.

 

33 years ago we signed paul tomlinson for £47k. I bet we've we have signed a only handful of players for more than that in the last 10 years.

We now have become a landing pit for players that nobody wants. Thats whats needed to change, we need to take players off clubs not drag them from the shitpool.

 

Hes right though. It's not about the fee element, we've become a dumping ground, or a centre for has beens. Our recruitment is shocking.

 

No argument. And if I recall, most were happy with the signing of Jones.

 

You are seriously calling Shay our biggest pound for pound let down? Are you too young to remember Hopkin?

 

Devitt was a loan though. We've had far worse than him.

 

Too young for Hopkin.

Shay cost 250k and was a massive let down.

 

A trend there which has continued over 20 years...
