With the benefit of hindsight, Mick – we were doomed as soon as we were left unable to make four/five good signings in January.
The words… “if necessary” are going to echo throughout my brain for years to come!
In any case, our January incomers, over a number of years, have rarely been up to all that much.
The trouble is that, without the excuse of an embargo in place, for many years, our signings have tended to arrive extremely late in each and every pre-season. A BAD sign!
Do you recall the good old days when most of us had a little bit of optimism at the start of a new campaign? – Sigh.
I used to put on my annual bet on us gaining promotion. Haven’t for quite a long time.
