Me neither; but my memory is not what it was...

As I recall, he got promoted with much the same squad as he inherited and then over the next few seasons built a competetive squad without really spending that much money; but I don't remember that he was ever specifically denied funds at Leicester.

- yep - totally agree - these are the facts and MON was totally right in what he did (NCFC) - Brandonio, Apr 9, 11:53:13
  - We slaughter people in football for having no principles, and then criticize mon for them (NCFC) - earlydoors, Apr 9, 11:55:39
    - we would have got promoted (NCFC) - Charles21, Apr 9, 12:06:45

      - Is the correct answer (NCFC) - pants, Apr 9, 12:08:01
        
        exactly (NCFC) - Charles21, Apr 9, 12:10:13
        
        jeez you have to have some issues to still hold anything against him (NCFC) - Brandonio, Apr 9, 12:16:23
        
        yeah, I have loads of issues (NCFC) - Charles21, Apr 9, 12:18:41
        
        because you still hold it against him, where IMO he never did anything wrong (n/m) (NCFC) - Brandonio, Apr 9, 12:21:21
        
        If you have an opinion on an event (NCFC) - Charles21, Apr 9, 12:25:04
        
        IMO Euro 96 is the most overrated sporting performance by this country ever... (NCFC) - Brandonio, Apr 9, 12:39:22
        
        it's like any major tournament (NCFC) - Charles21, Apr 9, 12:41:07
        
        He did "reach" it, (NCFC) - mike_the_sphinx, Apr 9, 12:35:22
        
        No he didn't (NCFC) - Charles21, Apr 9, 12:46:34
        
        The question really is whether you are allowed any principles in football (NCFC) - earlydoors, Apr 9, 12:27:42
        
        lol (NCFC) - Charles21, Apr 9, 12:32:03
        
        So it is all MON's fault that it took us another 9 years to get promoted. (NCFC) - earlydoors, Apr 9, 12:13:34
        
        Mike Milligan and Jerry Goss (NCFC) - Charles21, Apr 9, 12:19:26
        
        you say that like it was a bad thing - MM was one of the worst CM's we've ever had (NCFC) - Brandonio, Apr 9, 12:20:34
        
        He was fantastic (NCFC) - Charles21, Apr 9, 12:25:51
        
        partly yes (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Apr 9, 12:15:12
        
        His fault because he racked up the debt then appointed bad managers to follow him (n/m) (NCFC) - earlydoors, Apr 9, 12:16:37
        
        I didn't say that (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Apr 9, 12:18:29
        
        How is he to blame that we took another 9 years to get promoted then (n/m) (NCFC) - earlydoors, Apr 9, 12:19:25
        
        Because at the time we had the right squad, attitude and players to get promoted (NCFC) - pants, Apr 9, 12:21:18
        
        Did he sign that many of our players within the first few years (n/m) (NCFC) - earlydoors, Apr 9, 12:24:56
        
        Him leaving was a factor (NCFC) - Charles21, Apr 9, 12:20:29
        
        man who got the same treatment at Leicester, promised this that and the other (NCFC) - pants, Apr 9, 12:12:51
        
        I don't value promotion that highly I'm afraid (n/m) (NCFC) - Brandonio, Apr 9, 12:10:00
        
        at that time it was vital we got promoted (NCFC) - Charles21, Apr 9, 12:12:39
        
        and then we could've ended up like Coventry or Southampton (NCFC) - blindasabat, Apr 9, 12:16:11
        
        Yep Southampton - 10 more years of Premiership football (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 9, 12:53:26

        Which you both know is really hard to do because of the internet not being archived that (NCFC) - pants, Apr 9, 12:28:15

        It's okay (NCFC) - pants, Apr 9, 13:35:53
        
        Which is totally irrelevant to this discussion (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Apr 9, 13:39:49
        
        There's a clue to the fact Leicester fans protested against their board (NCFC) - pants, Apr 9, 13:41:07
        
        I can't even find that on the net, which surprises me (NCFC) - pants, Apr 9, 13:54:18
        
        As I recall, it was because two managers had left in quick succession (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Apr 9, 14:11:52
        
        How does that prove anything? (NCFC) - Brandonio, Apr 9, 12:40:43
