I think he represents a worse purchase than Elmander all in all

 

Most definitely. We were deep in relegation trouble, and Coyle had over £3m to spend on a player. This player should've been someone capable of playing his part to keep us up, given that we'd just lost our valuable asset for £7m. 
 
What does Coyle do? Spends it on an unproven striker he's never seen play, and gives him about 25 minutes of action all season. For all the money we spent on Elmander (transfer fee, signing on fee, agent fees and wages), we've probably lost a lot more on Sordell in the long run. All that TV money that we could still be receiving had Coyle been more sensible would've been nice for a start.

apart from the fact that our losses are probably greater in the prem than division two, its all true that (the fact we lose more when we are successful is something we probably all struggle to get our heads around)

 

if players make a significant contribution to us staying up, that gives them loads of ticks in the good value box

 

if we get relegated, that's a big fat cross

Some true bits, but even so, all we had to do was win one of the last 3;

 

Were 2-0 up v WBA, with 10 to go

 

And surely we should have won at Stoke

Aye we had £3 million for a striker and QPR spent £6 million on Zamora and £4 million on Cisse that January window. The big spenders stayed up at our expense on the final day.

We had £7 million though didn't we (engineered by the selling of a certain goalkeeper of course). We bought two strikers Ngog, who was known for not scoring goals and a gamble on Sordell who was scoring goals but was unproven at Premiership level.

 

There were though bigger issues. Establishing a team pattern. Coyle is just a motivator and doesn't seem to have the ability to build a team. The hard work had been done at Burnley. He was found out at Bolton. It happens lets get over it.

Wasn't Al habsi sold for 4 million?

That's what I'm saying £4 million for al habsi + £3 million we already had = £7 million.
