Sure they've been great buys but beyond Barry Roache and Andy Parrish they've all left at the first opportunity. Each summer has had more than their share of expensive failures - McCann, Grand, McStay, Moss etc. etc. and a big batch now from last summer. I've seen no evidence that this will improve.
He's also brought in players who've sold for a pretty decent profit margin too. Last season there wern't that many players in the squad from harvey's era, this season those players left wern't really that integral either. Every manager has transfer failures at any level, my only question of Sammy is that if he's lost the passion for the job then its his time to go, if he wants to stay and push this club even further and he's 100% committed then nobody else is in the running.
4 good seasons, 1 bad was going to happen eventually[/quote]
