Sounds unlikely doesnt it...!
But if it is true then its even more worrying, coz it means those class players WANTED to play for us, and maybe did so for less... they believed we were going places and wanted to be a part of it.
Kuszczak, Bridge, Upson, Bridcutt, Barnes, Buckley, Vicente, Ward, Murray, Ulloa, oh yeah and Orlandi and Lopez!
Read those names and weep.... maybe didnt have em all in the same squad but thats the quality we used to attract and have now lost.
