Doesn;t mean we should not try and stay up again. Firstly that season they

should have brought in more players before the season started rather than in January and secondly just don't buy someone like Naismith who frankly it was obvious might have limited re-sale value and who we didn't really need at the time and if you do buy them don't agree to a ludicrous contract with no reductions on relegation just to get them through the door.

I don't think Klose was a bad signing in the same vein as Naismith.

Clearly we should have half an eye on possible relegation/re-sale value when making any signings but that is our strategy these days anyway and we appear to have a much better scouting network.
