Obviously Kav, Thorney and Earnie from early noughties, then DJ signed a quality of player superior to anything we had seen in the previous 20 or so years with the likes of Koumas, Gary O Neil, Chopra, Mcphail, Mcormack, Bothroyd, Bellamy, Whitts.etc
Malky made some decent signings in his first 2 years, Hudson and Turner in particular, although not "impact" players Hudson was massive for this football club and his leadership still hasnt been replaces. However, for me Malky will always be remembered for the guy who blew the biggest budget this club ever had on absolute garbage.
Less said about Ole and Slades signings the better. I mean, Alex ****ing Revell ffs!!!
Finally special mention to some "impact" players who did well on loan but were utterly shite after we signed them permanently in Matt Brazier, Richard Langley and Andy Campbell although the last can be cut some slack for his goal in the play off final.
