Been our policy for over 20 years.
People talk about the transfer committee but us shitting away money isn’t a new thing. In fact after the way Malky and Ole blew a lot of money no wonder a committee was formed. Certainly lately signings have been better than further back albeit less of them and more trust in the youth. As Sven says, an explanation as to why would be nice.
Anyway here are some of the ‘diamonds’ we have signed. There’s actually a gap where we signed some class for cheap. Dave Jones’ era. This was always when we barely had a pot to piss in.
Of course there were good signings made too around the below dross but I’m just showing that no one covers themselves in glory.
