Look at the players he brought in for the fees aswell. Whitts, McNaughton, Marshall, Chopra, Bothroyd, McCormack etc.

What u think?
I would say the club as a whole did reasonably well in terms of transfers for some of his tenure. Glenn Loovens is an example of someone who did well for us but was certainly nothing to do with Jones. Ridsdale signed him against Jones' wishes. I wonder if Fowler and Hasselbaink were as much Ridsdale signings as well.

In the same way, Swansea have, until more recently, done very well in the transfer market for a decade or so. I wouldn't suggest that was all down to the manager, at least as much due to the contacts numerous at the club had.
