Whilst individually some coud argue that his signings that summer weren't all bad, they did nothing to address the lack of balance in the team.

When you compare Malky's transfer activity that summer with what Warnock has done this year in a lot less buyer friendly market then it was nothing short of woeful.

We needed pace, we needed guile but what we got were water carriers.

Hull and Steve Bruce put us to shame in the transfer market that season.
We had major issues alright. Non more so than to transfer our captaincy to an alcoholic, compulsive gambling manic depressant ( caulkers words not mine). Not sure what chance we stood from that point alone!!! Put that together with the fact that VT became unhinged, refused to discuss any form of win bonus scheme for the squad following promotion to the prem and threatened to withdraw the old championship scheme if the players or management crossed him further. When hudson went in to see Choo and Delhman on the behlaf of the players he signed his own death warrant with the club and when MM signed the players complaint letter he was dead in the water also.
