faye left the previous summer

 

he signed taylor and cahill

 

stelios was fooked

 

its safe to assume gardner was broken, too

 

 

that team was so good we had 5 points from 9

 

gardner played plenty under megson, certainly nowt to suggest he was crocked, and had his best season tally for goals under him

 

(ps: even with the relegation Coyle was better than DF)

we've been relegated before

 

but DF treated us to our worst start in 100+ years

 

and followed it up with our 2nd worst

 

not sure where the 7-1 defeat at Reading lines up in worst ever defeats, no dobut it's up there

 

starting Rob Hall on the last day of the season in his most important game in charge of us

 

plenty to chew on there

What was our wage bill compared to the rest of the championship when Dougie was here?

 

Because whatever it was he was going to get us relegated.

 

it was bigger than quite a few, id imagine

 

but it wasnt the 12th in the country, which wouldnt have been so bad if they weren't - on the whole - shit fcukers

 

something that has fcuked us over at every turn since

we've never been relegated before with a wage bill the 12th largest in the country

 

doesn't make us the 12th best team

 

the amount could've been the same and yet we could've had a wage bill that was the 20th, 15th, 5th etc

 

irrelevant

 

we got relegated as he was a bell end

Well let's stop the handbags, as everyone wants to out geekery each other. Far too much time on your hands. Kevin Nolan is still available. Maybe there's stuff we're not privy to, but on face value he's something we need, unless of course he prefers semi retirement to being kicked. Would have reinvigoratong qualities, unless of course someone wants to hit the 'I know better' geek button

Think you are conveniently forgetting the league place we were in when he was sacked

 

And that the players didn't want to play for him

BSA inherited a squad with little quality. At the beginning of the 2000/2001 season, he was scratching around for 1st team players to field an 11. He went on to win the play-offs and then shock the Premier League with a blistering start. He then began serious player recruitment.

 

But he also explored sports technologies from around the world, pioneering some in this country. He led the club to its best decade for 80 years.

 

I'd rather trust BSA's open-minded approach than munchkin ramblings from planet Oz.

 

What? Allardyce inherited Robbie Elliot, Dean Holdsworth, Whitlow, Bergsson, Gardner, Warhurst.

 

Some of those were fairly recent big signings at the time.

 

He was able to buy Frandsen back.

 

The squad was underperforming but there wasn't a lack of quality.
