I don't think Keith Scott, was past it, not saying he was great like but for 300K probably value for money......he scored a few and the following season him and JAF were a decent pairing.......Macari rated him enough to take him from us, then his first manager O'Neil took him to Norwich, before the boo boys drove O"Neil out, in what has probably proved to be the most stupid example of its kind.

Terry Gibson - They could not have found a more woefully inadequate replacement if they had tried :evil: Think that' s a bit harsh....we only loaned him as a short term thing, it not being easy to replace the second flight's leading goalscorer with 8 games to go......Hoddle used some of the Shearer cash to buy John Moncur. Oh and we never lost any of the 7 games that Gibson started. I'm sorry Reg, but just thinking of that Shearer transfer well and truly harshes my mellow :x |

Scotty probably doesn't deserve to be on the list. I was just feeling all harsh at the time  He did get us our first ever Prem win v QPR and scored in what was oh so close to a famous victory at Anfield when we drew 2-2. If we had held on to win there, I think I would have quite literally wet myself. |

I know the feeling, I got to the stage of dreading transfer deadline day, knowing that the Board would flog someone to save their own miserable skins......even if we were doing well.
I've quite enjoyed, the recent ones knowing that we don't have anyone worth selling.
Now that BigStan has mentioned it I fully expect Parkin to be gone by Friday, Sheffield United or Sunderland would be my bet for 450K

Yes, I suppose the recent of seasons of tedium and ineptitude have had their upsides.
Maybe we'll re-sign Chris Hay as Sam's replacement?

It'll be Graz.
I sometimes wonder what might have been if by some miracle we'd managed to stay in the Premiership, although looking at Oldham and Sheff Wed I'm not sure it'd matter really.

Yep, Jon Parkin at the Macc lads. He could have Sam's old shirt to save a bit of money. Would they be dumb enough to sell when going for promotion though?

The shirt printers wouldn't need to learn a new word.....and we could sing Super Jonny Parkin......thelikes of Parkin Ticket could keep their user name and he could become the third Parkin to be voted PotY.

Sorry Reg but I can't agree with you on King Kenny. The bloke inherited an amazing Liverpool side, in a very average English league. Then as soon as the team aged he struggled to replace key players.

At Blackburn he had more money than Bill Gates and managed to win the league but did nothing, and I mean nothing in Europe.
At Newcastle he was dreadful. Dalglish has to be one of the most over rated managers in my life time. He handles pressure worse than Keegan. He's the man that brought Stephane Guivarc'h to these shores, that sums him up, more money than sense, useless

All I said was that if you win 2 titles with different clubs you can't be that shite...maybe not in the very top bracket.....but its a results business and they look good on the CV.

Thinking a bit more about this, didn't Dalglish bring in the likes of Barnes, Aldridge, Beardsley and Ray Houghton as replacements after he'd won the title in his first season....and then they went on to win several more up til he quit in around 92....he did 7 years there I reckon, which is quite a bit by normal standards. |
