Malky was left with a skeleton squad. In his first season we lost all of our attacking talent. Malky spent less than Ł2m on Mason, Miller and Turner and brought in a load of free transfers. We finished 6th and made a league cup final. Jones had wasted more money than that.

The club then backed Malky and we made a few big transfers in order to get promoted. Nothing wrong with that. Jones had been backed previously but bollocksed things up. Unfortunately, we lost our marquee signing, Nicky Maynard, and most of the money we spent on transfers never played much for us.
