Yes but in the play off year, he spent about 2m, and got us to the play offs

in the year prior to 03/04, he spent little and it showed

in 02/03, we were always in the pink un "8 points off the play offs" and it was a shambolic dream that we could make it

03/04 started the same, and if it wasn't for Crouch, Huckerby and Harper, the end of Worthington would been a lot quicker, He got lucky, and money was spent on the dream of the prem. When it settled down he got money to get us back up there, a lot of money, and he did a lot of damage to us in the process

A lot of that damage is levelled at Grant, but the routes of it are Worthington's fault (release clauses, Bobinson, Hughes etc)

        He's referring to 2006-7 I think, when Grant managed not to relegate us. (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Feb 5, 12:34:08
