With only a handful of players still at the club who weren't brought in pre-OGS, who would you say was each manager's best/worst signings? I'd go:
OGS - Morrison/Berget
Slade - Peltier/Revell
Trollope - Bennett/Lambert
Warnock - Hoilett/Chamakh

Chamakh was on a glorified trial here not sure id put him as the worst signing. Probably Tomlin pound-for-pound
Hard to argue with any of them.
Jones - Whitts/J Lloyd or Bywater
Mackay - Gunnars/Cornelius
Gabriel Tamas for Slade? At least Revell scored some goals and actually played in the league
I think Zaha should be up there for OGS, good player now, but what a disappointment when he joined
I had Tamas in my list, but he was here for such a short space of time and played just the once, that I took him out. Revell taking Kenwyne's place just about summed up Slade's reign.
I can't really argue with them but Berget has some serious competition. Eikrem, Cala, Burgstaller, ALF, Guerra, Dikgacoi, Adeyemi and Macheda. I'd say Berget probably trumps them because of the money we paid and he made zero impact.Quote:

Fair point about Camp, but a manager can't foresee injury I suppose. Although the type of deal he signed protected us, Chamakh is a player with talent. He could have been great, but just didn't seem bothered.Quote:

Didn't Gabby and Young sign Morrison? Or even the famous transfer committee?
He was signed mid-August 2014, a month before OGS was sacked.
Was he? I thought he was an emergency loan in October? I remember it coming completely out of the blue.

That's a week after OGS got the chop.
Sorry, thought you were referring to Sean!
Oh! Sean is possibly the best signing since we got relegated! Credit to OGS for that.Quote:
