Quote from Big Sam in his newspaper column, in yesterday's London Evening Standard
'When we reached a final at Bolton my chairman, Phil Gartside, pointed out to me that there were financial implications if we qualified for Europe, in terms of the cost of new players and bonus payments.
As a manager, my focus was winning the final, then growing the squad to do well in Europe — and I wanted him to give allocate funds so I could do that.
It was a horrible thing to hear but I could half‑understand why he said it.'
