With the Chopra transfer, it's probably close. Without it, it isn't.

Ultimately the team was put together from freebies and misfits by offering them good wages to perform. They failed to get us promoted, regardless of the entertainment.
Didn’t we get Chopra initially for £500k or something, then sell him to Sunderland for £5m only to buy him back for a very similar amount the season after, which suggests to me that very little of the transfer fee that Sunderland were supposed to pay, actually came our way and we got him back for close to zero, especially as we were skint at the time?

No way would we pay £5m for anyone back then!
