He was guilty of being too loyal to staff already at the club such as the examples you made, but his other managerial appointments were excellent. Adams, Taylor, Coppel, McGhee & Slade all had success or made a positive impact.

Again I don't think you can compare the transfer of McCourt to Vicente. Vicente has commanded vast transfer fees in the past, has played International football for Spain, was voted in the top ten footballers in the World several years before he joined us.

Maybe I've misinterpreted your post but I felt you were comparing the Bent signing favourably to that of Vicente, Bridge & Ulloa? I agree with you that strikers in the £1-3 million bracket are not cast iron guarantees of success. So far we have signed 3 and two haven't worked out up until this...

There is no way the club would be run as it is now, by and large during Knight's tenure the club was harmonious (Wilkins excepted) and the club retained a soul and identity. The club had a certain feel good vibe and supporters and the board worked together to achieve Falmer. There is no way...
