He was a consequence of awful management in general.
He was a consequence of awful management in general.Yes, I meant awful management at board level tbh. Although Thorn managing the team certainly didn't help with avoiding relegation either!
SSSHHHHH not a bad word can be said about Dublin on here......Boateng going for me was the big one. More because I’m sure Dublin would have put his oar in as well.
Must be my memory playing tricks on me. I thought we got Mifsud instead of Novo?I've got a curveball one. Having Nacho Novo being announced and then it not happening and Kevin Kyle turning up instead.

What was worse is that we sent him on loan before the transfer window opened so they could have him earlierJutkiewicz to Boro - practically confirming relegation
Those were desperate times.What was worse is that we sent him on loan before the transfer window opened so they could have him earlier
I’d just bought the brand new shirt with Keane’s name on it, two days later he’d gone to InterRobbie Keane will always be my biggest transfer upset. Hated it when he left.
Wasn't he the 'makeweight' in the Ian Butterworth transfer ?Stuart Pearce, we virtually gave him to Forest!

Onandi Lowe.
Came with stats that were incredible. Could play defence or up front.
Played. Scored. Went on international duty, awol and then arrested in Northampton on a drugs charge.
Got sacked.
Here’s the madness:
Innocent until proven guilty, right?
He could have played whilst on bail. Ched Evans did, had his best season on bail because he had everything play for.
Don’t get me started on Lee Hughes.
Imagine a fired up Onandi Lowe? Name one championship defence at the time who would want to take on a 6’5” “yardie” on a drugs charge with a point to prove?
Good management might have worked: Arm round him, in the team, tell him to do some community work to look good in front of the judge….
We fired him. He didn’t get found guilty.
Them be the facts.
He was 29, and we got him out of League 1 (where he had a goal ratio of better than 1 in 2) and a regular full international.He was already 30 had only scored at league 2 level and was shite

Other than that…..
That’s quite a passionate defence of a player who played twice
Theo Walcott not joining us on loan hurt big time...
F’kin hell man, who put 10p in you?He played one season for rushden at that level - he was a desperate signing in a desperate time - the full international thing is nonsense - Che Bunce played 90 times for New Zealand.
Also he was on bail for months and it’s fair to say his reason for using a false identity to avoid the paparazzi showing up at the airport was….creative - he was well over 29 by the time charges were dropped due to lack of evidence
It’s a bizarre person to pick - he was a symptom of our decline at that point
Jarni. Devo'ed when he left. The way he sat in the stands with those sunglasses...just gutted when he left.
In all seriousness...all of the above from about 1988. Plus Chris Kirkland.
I remember being gutted that we sold Babb, and furious that we bought Dublin* with some of the money we had for him! I was then furious when we sold Dublin…rightly so.Dublin the most. Most memorable because he was such a massive player for us and to join our local rivals and to find out minutes before a match which we went onto lose. Boateng following him to Villa was a blow. Babb was disappointing too. Davenport memorable because the way he left the pitch after his last game made it clear he was leaving.
I went to an pre-season game at Brentford one Saturday around that time - pretty sure he didn’t play because he was talking to Celtic or he had just signed for them. I remember all that bull about loving the club too, until more money came along...John Hartson was bad- one day he’s saying how he loves the club & how he’s going to fire us straight back to the premier league and how he would refuse a move even if Man Utd came in for him… goes to Celtic literally 48 hours later
