Matt Elliott was a record signing was he? He was decent. Eadie was a record signing and decent aswell, just an unfortunate injury. Elliott and Eadie were both pre Akinibiyi though. Elliott was a record and better than decent. He was immense IMO. Eadie though - disastrous from start to finish injury notwithstanding. Gary Rowett is one that worked... So... I'm not sure where we are with the original point. Record signings = more than likely not very good but sometimes good. This needs it's own thread.

Dembele and Keane would have been Walsh signings, not Macia signings. You read the Jonathon Northcroft book? It touches on how we believed in the sharing of information and outlines the thought processes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mendy is clearly a Ranieri signing. There is enough info out there to know that. Slimani may have been scouted by Walsh, but not signed under him. We don't know if at that point we were revisiting an old list. (Wague had been scouted years back also), he could have been picked as a good signing back in our first season when we wanted a big man option and he'd have cost £10m... would he have agreed with £30m? He was available for less than that if we'd matched his buy out clause before it expired. There was something that never felt right with that transfer and the links to him.

Ric Flair Posted 25 March 2017 Share Posted 25 March 2017 Shakespeare won't settle for poor planning and research. If he gets this long term it'll be rectified. Having said that, we should be lining up our targets now for next season, last summer was the pits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this but there isn't much he can do if he doesn't have the people in place to carry out the planning and research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I haven't but if you recommend it I'll buy it, I'm not one for reading books but love something for the beach that really interests me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's got some really good stuff at the start that goes quite in depth about the backroom team. I like to think I'm pretty well versed and keep up to date on how we run things, but I took a fair bit away form it that Id not read elsewhere.
