Tommy Smith and Helguson came in for peanuts as well. He hardly broke the bank, we spent 10m. Villa have spent 12m or more on a single striker three times this season alone.
Agree with the figures but don't forget, there was a 5 year gap and transfer amounts have gone crazy.
I also remember when Malky brought Bellamy in from Man City when he was still very much a Premiership player.
Championship teams were complaining bitterly (and others) that we had somehow fiddled a top player to join us.

Facts don't lie so there is little doubt that Malky's record was excellent.
The OP question was whether we considered Warnock to be the best manager since Malky.
I happen to think he is better than Malky.
By the way I have no issue with Malky and I am glad he has got back into football in some way. I think he paid a price and should return.
