We had all those players but....

Were not even close to getting promoted.
Barely top 6 and way off the pace of the top 4

we sold players like Maddison to fund a rebuild and it worked.

Still think we overpaid for Crnac and Jurasek, that unpopular opinion is looking better by the day.

Saying that I think we did some good business this last window.
Overall once we get through this horrible injury crisis our squad should be really good.

I said it before the season started that if Manning isn't at least top 6 by Christmas he should be sacked.
IMHO this squad is good enough to compete at the top end with good organisation.
I also had some reservations at the start of the season in awarding ANY manager a 4 year contract given the average tenure of a championship manager.
