The last time I saw decent football was with Jones's team of Chops , Booth, McCormack, McPhail etc - but we never had any meaningful success and the mood swings of Jones were never pleasant.

Anyone remember the ongoing spat between Jones and Tucker ?

Think we paid 3m+ for Chopra Hudson was a 1m Marshall weren't cheap,and definitely some big wages being paid.
Maybe did have the same resources as Malky but weren't peanuts.

Chpora ,Sunderland owed us money from the transfer so we didn't actually pay anything for him ,we couldn't even pay our tax bills at the time , we didn't have that type of cash .basically we sold him had some money then had him back initially i think it was in loan too .

True that he had no money compared to Malky but how he never got us promoted with the squad he had I'll never know.

Did a good job in taking us forward but was never the person to get us promoted.

He's been out of management for a long time now so he's a non-starter.

I think he means Hudson wasn't at the club when Morison got the job, but Chopra was calling on Hudson to get the job then yet now he's saying Jones should get the job.

The first time we signed him wasn’t it reported as 500k, then Sam said he would have had to become Prime Minister for us to pay that :lol:
