I ain't so sure, hes had 6 million in a league where

most clubs get about ?500,000 to spend

Redknapp managed it with 5 free transfer players on good money through selling Crouch

With that 6 million spent, worthington showed his true managerial muscle yesterday afternoon

        Hughes is too busy turning Bentley into a world-beater to worry about Gallagher. (Other Football) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Feb 26, 22:52:54
        
        bentley has potential to be a good player though.... (Other Football) - Alan, Feb 26, 23:02:32
        
        Bentley will be OK. About as good as Lee Hendrie if he reaches his potential. (Other Football) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Feb 26, 23:03:54
        
        i think bentley is better on with the ball at his feet then hendrie... (Other Football) - Alan, Feb 26, 23:07:44

        No, but your suggestion that he's good is based purely on a few spawny trophies. (n/m) (Other Football) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Feb 26, 23:04:14
