What you haven't taken into consideration or maybe was unaware of was that Scoular never had a great deal of money to spend. If we managed to get 2 or 3 new players a year we were lucky and they were generally not that expensive. The club was owned by Fred and Viv Dewey and they kept the purse strings drawn very tight. However the players he did buy very rarely failed us.
