RadioactiveWaste Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Worst bit of it was, him and (i've still not forgiven his lack of trying) Earnshaw were our "big" signings. Oh and Kenny Millar. I'm persistently irritated with everyone involved in that season always giving a "why it wasn't my fault" account of themselves. But yeah, Claud, what a signing.

Sith Happens Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 I can't recall who it was we were trying to make our marquee signing, a striker est £6 million....think he went to Sunderland. And we got Earnshaw and later Millar. We then signed Eddie Lewis, did Andy Todd sign in the summer too? Shocking.... Bookies had lowish odds on us not winning at all we were obviously that bad, and very nearly happened. To think we did ok at home to Portsmouth, played ok away to Man City i think it was with Pearson missing a great chance to put us 1-0 up....then the likes of liverpool came long.... Then in typical Billy style after we put in a spirited performance against Chelsea with a clear foul on Barnes i think it was that wasn't given then they went and scored he decides to take the opportunity rather than praise them for an unlucky defeat to go public about how crap a squad he had built and slag the Chairman off publically, may as well of said 'Please sack me on monday i have built a shocking team, i'd rather get a pay off and clear off thanks'.

Thats the fella...i didnt think he was that good actually, but looking on Wiki, looks like he had a reasonable goals per game ratio. Certainly better than Earnshaws for us i bet.

bucktwo Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 In over 45 years of watching the Rams I still truly believe Claude was pound for pound the very worst signing I have ever seen and there are plenty in the running for that honour . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once heard an interview with Barry Hearn, who raised Snooker from relative obscurity to a nationally watched sport. He hit on the idea of giving all the players a 'persona'. They decided on 'boring' for Steve. Hearn said he's not boring at all actually. Totally off topic, but Hearn also touched on managing Chris Eubank. Said he was a marketing man's gift. One night he was a guest at a concert featuring Ella Fitzgerald. Eubank turned up about 10 minutes late, dressed in a tweed waisted jacket and riding boots. As he reached his seat, he said 'Tell Miss Fitzgerald she may now commence.' What a character! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
