What about Martinez for spending £8m on Kone?

Last season Bruce spent £3m on Proschwitz but everyone says what a great wheeler and dealer he is.

All managers make mistakes.


It's just just cornflop milky fukt up with, he basically threw the whole 40+ mil away, with only caulker worth the money IMO, just about.


Maybe spent a little over the odds for Medel, probably worth £7-8m in reality.

Cornelius was a waste but then we also shipped him out without giving him a real crack, he might have been worth something or made an impact in a few years even if nowhere near the £8m mark.

The other signings were all peanuts and Caulker was a steal for £9m, we will be getting more than that for him this summer for sure.

A few weeks prior to spending £8m on Cornflop, he was being touted around for £2m.......hmmmmmm


He was chased by several clubs before coming to us.


All from the league for the blind

There was no loan fee for remy we could have had him on loan for 10 k a week less than corny. Malky dident want him

Caulker - worth £6m at most
Medel - worth £6m at most
Cornelius - worth about £1m
KTC - worth about £2m

100% agree with Polo.

We spent £40m on players really worth a maximum of around £15m. Medel is hyped so much its unbelievable. I wanted Wanyama to be honest who I still rate more highly as he has a lot more to his game than just sweeping up. Caulker is not a bad player but again over hyped - plenty of better English CB's.

£25m down the drain. That doesn't even factor in the other costs associated with the transfers.

Our best players IMO still are Marshall and Whittingham and our best youngster is Daehli who is an Ole signing.

Re: Malky Mackay

Mon Apr 28, 2014 6:37 pm

I think we will get our money back on Caulker to be fair.


Medel 3-4m
Cornelius we got 3m back for
Theophile is rubbish, I can't see us getting more than 500k if that.

Agree with the majority of this but Whittingham? You must be kidding. Mutch and Noone have been far better.

Whittingham was ruined by Malky's negative style of play. He went from a thriving attacking midfielder under Jones to a suppressed midfielder who just sat in midfield and contributed to set pieces. If he is allowed to flourish under Ole in the Championship then I believe we will see more of the old Whittingham.

I honestly believe Malky ruined him. He favoured workhorses like Cowie over technically gifted players like Whittingham. That's one of the worst things Malky did at this club.

I agree and people have forgotten how long it took Malky to introduce noone into the side this season. Work horses over flair was his motto I'm afraid

Malky also promised to be "ruthless" when it come to taking the squad forward into PL football. :roll:

Mutch has gone awful under Solksjaer and Kim was one of our best players in the early part of the season.

Declan John has gone shit aswell.

Complete bollox. We were not in the bottom 3 under Malky fact and this is quite an achievement even though tan did his best to try and destabilise Malky and his staff.

1 point above the bottom 3 with our worst run of fixtures to come.

1 win in 9.

We were in free fall.

You might be able to see that for yourself if you took your Malky rose tinted glasses off.

I think you would have stayed up under Mackay.

You are seemingly getting crushed week in week out under Ole.

nope, its an opinion. Just like someone might think he would have kept us up, which is fine (wrong, but fine)

trying to make out that our league position after 17 games is the reason why he would have kept us up is obviously nonsense.

Re: Malky Mackay

Yes you are right. His opinion that we weren't in the relegation zone when he was sacked is indeed a fact, whereas yours is just an opinion.

Like I said Malky and his staff were undermined at every turn.It was a miracle that under those circumstances we were not at the bottom like we are now. Only tan to blame but you will need to take off those tan tinted specs first.

If someone wastes £40m on utter tripe then any CEO worth his salts will demand answers.

Tans a c**t for what hes done to our identity but I am 100% with him being fucked off at what Malky and Moody did with the huge amount of money he made available to them in the summer.
