This mess is entirely because of Warnock's ineptitude in the transfer market. His hits were Etheridge, NML, Hoilett, Smithies and Bamba. We made 500k from the sale of those 5. I'm a Warnock fan but that's 50m pissed up the wall there.
Some awful signings, some which we at least used before releasing. Not good reading though. Some make the Sala fee and situation look silly.

Then the whole agent issues etc.

Some balance though, promotion was worth Ł170m to the club (no way we do that without him) and there's a transfer committee, as with Mackay and Cornelius it's not just him signing off on these alone.

At least if he did come back there's no budget.

Why would he anyway though? I get the feeling we have approached him a couple of times since he left and we are now a far worse sell.
