Would you want Bulut to stay of go

Did they get the players they wanted or were they largely trading with the bargain bucket?

I'd say only Mackay, Jones, and Warnock got what they wanted but mainly because they stayed more than a season. Trollope according to wiki got in 8 players for about 4 million, 2 good, 1 sold at a massive profit, 1 a strange fans favorite. Warnock in the window didn't spend much and ended up with Bamba and Holiett.

The worst has to be Steve Morrison, whilst money wasn't spent whoever thought 17 new players was a good directions needs to give their head a wobble, especially considering he had managed the youth teams lol! The years of woe for me lay clearly at that door, that window, and those decision makers.

Tip of the hat to Trollope who tried it, didn't work out and went on to continue be a very successful career as an assistant/coach.

Warnock's promotion side started less than a year after he was appointed, but I think he was trusted. Mackay was trusted from the moment he was brought into the club. Tan was hardly there when Jones was manager, which might be a factor.
