SaintRam Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 9 minutes ago, Mucker1884 said: Wow! That's one hell of a hypothetical question! How about: Assuming we sign a £30m striker this window, and they go on to not only score 24 league goals ensuring our automatic promotion, but also scores an FA Cup final hatrick to secure the double, would you consider him (or her!) our best ever signing? Is it hot out there or something? Or is the closed season beginning to drag on a little now? Just hang in there... not long to kick off now! Maybe, but if he was a loan George Thorne and Chris Martin would still be at the top of some people's lists ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wondered why you singled out that scenario almost as if it is the benchmark. Was a little extreme, but quite fitting I thought for this topic. I think @SaintRam nailed it better earlier, whilst it would be an "at most would be eye opening to other clubs" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sith Happens Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 How George Burley got us to promotion contenders with not a penny to spend will take some beating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenix Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I thought Sol Campbell did a decent job with Macclesfield, keeping them in the division, bearing in mind their first 19 league games were P 19, W 1, D 4, L14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were cruising near or at the top of the league until he brought in that bunch of players in the winter window, form slumped and they scraped into the playoffs. That and the fact that he was a horrible little man. Kudos to Nigel for kneeing him. (Note: I do not condone violence of any kind). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G STAR RAM Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Wouldnt even match the achievements of Billy Davies or George Burley in my opinion. He's coming to a club that has regularly been challenging for play offs for the last 5 or 6 seasons. Our wage budget must still be up at the top end for the division. I'd be disappointed if we are not challenging again this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would if he hadn't started the rot by spending a fortune in the January then trying to throw away promotion by playing them instead of the players that got us to the top. Then when your summer sigmings in the Premier league include claude davis and eddie lewis, jeez. Proper 1 step forward 5 steps back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesBCFC Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I think my best managerial achievement was getting Barrow into the Premier League in just 6 seasons, fell out with the board who refused to expand the ground past about 12000 seats though*. *Absolutely definitely not talking about a football manager save.

Maybe Mel has given up on signing players and decided to trade in the managers markets? If we keep trading up we will end up with Pep Guardiola and 50 million in the bank in 5 years. It has been one of Mel's better strategies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He saved them from relegation after taking over half way through the season with the team 10 points adrift of safety, and then won promotion the next season, despite still being under a transfer embargo. Their journey was my first thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
