This is true BB but somehow JC managed to maintain league position, well kinda, despite losing a fair bit of talent every single season. The football was definitely not good but there you go, I firmly believe that both just aren't possible, not week in week out in the SPL. There is only so long a team can sustain that and perhaps that is where we are now, in desperate need for real investment and no means of providing it.
But spending 700k on changing from one manager of reasonable standard to another makes sense, well done board.
