it was for the taking in some ways.

Had we made the right signings over the summer, and essentially got the right manager in.

Not going to beat the board to much over grant as I'll happily admit his enthusiasm won me over.
Also I don't like criticising in hindsight, its far far to easy.

However, Grant was wrong, and the summer transfers both in and out were far from brillo.
With the exceptions of Fozzy, Russell (although its GR's influence on him that's made him decent IMHO) and semi to a degree.
