The club should have done everything to keep us up.

Tan has provided the financial support, but the 'transfer committee' has been nothing short of pathetic. Warnock has shown he cannot be trusted with transfer fees as he has spent bucket fulls of cash on a load of players who couldn't perform at the level we were at. Madine, Tomlin, Ward, Bogle, Smithies, Cunningham, Murphy, Reid, Bacuna. At least one of the three loan signings was OK,m Camarasa (joint top score!). Niasse never scored! And the best anyone can say about After, for his reported Ł40k p week, is that he runs around a lot.

An massive opportunity missed and I can't see us getting back up there anytime soon , well not without a change of strategy.
Could have done more, like Fulham perhaps? It is well known the finances were dire. Also have you considered that decent players wouldn’t come to us. We basically gambled on a few loans who proved worthwhile. Most fans were realistic, that doesn’t mean we didn’t hope for more. We had a mountain to climb and almost did it. Despite the officials, the players had enough glaring opportunities to win a number of games we didn’t.
