According to twitter Cox the other day said in so many words that the signings which came in with Hilton’s arrival weren’t Deans for the most part and Hilton signed off on them. If that’s actually true I shouldn’t have thought Dean would have had much of a say.
I don’t know how true that is so I’m not even trying to confirm this but it’s certainly an interesting claim.
Sembie Ferris was on odd one though who came with Dean as he was only signed until the end of the season !
