Wit Turner they finished on 35 points, without him only five less

I'm not sure that you can put that minor difference down to Turner.If anything Geovanni's huge dip in form was probably just as devastating. Let's be fair, 35 points would usually get you relegated anyway!

I also think that you've got to consider the clusterf**k that was bringing in Iain Dowie as caretaker manager during that second season.

    - Agree with that. Kind of doesn't matter to me where the 3 points come from (General Chat) - pants, Oct 23, 14:27:40

        i thought it was a decent buy at the time too,from what i've read csp did as well tbf, (n/m) (General Chat) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Oct 23, 14:20:54
        
        I did and still do. I'm just unsure about his motivation. (General Chat) - Common Sense Police, Oct 23, 14:23:58
        
        agreed. (n/m) (General Chat) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Oct 23, 14:40:05

        That's just one game and I still think he looked very weak in certain situations (General Chat) - Common Sense Police, Oct 23, 14:45:39
        
        Let's hope he kicks on. (n/m) (General Chat) - jafski, Oct 23, 14:55:32
        
        I hope so and I'm sure that he will. He's not a bad player but has looked under par (General Chat) - Common Sense Police, Oct 23, 14:57:23
        
        Yeah, we wouldn't get much better for that price. (n/m) (General Chat) - Common Sense Police, Oct 23, 14:20:07
        
        Thing I've got in my head about Turner is, Hull sold him to Sunderland for ?8m (General Chat) - pants, Oct 23, 14:20:47

        True, I guess that's why it's only in my head (n/m) (General Chat) - pants, Oct 23, 14:31:55
        
        I don't know if you were alone in that, I also thought that way around 2010 (General Chat) - Common Sense Police, Oct 23, 14:39:39
        
        never been that interested in a player?s past since Mike Sheron (General Chat) - Brandonio, Oct 23, 14:43:26
        
        Then he went on to be good elsewhere, and had a 3 year deal at Barnsley (General Chat) - pants, Oct 23, 14:50:46
        
        I remember he came here with a lot of hype and was expected to get a lot of goals (General Chat) - Brandonio, Oct 23, 14:53:17
        
        I agree though, was completely gutted when he turned out to be crap for us (General Chat) - pants, Oct 23, 14:52:00

        This is an excellent example (n/m) (General Chat) - Common Sense Police, Oct 23, 14:46:20
