we lost 3 - 4 million on Kroldrup, but Moyes didn't battle his own ego like Ferguson and play him. It was a bad situation, and he got rid immediately.
Unlike Fergie who played Veron continously. And he wasn't just bad, but [Poor language removed] woeful. How they sold him for 12 million to Chelsea is beyond me.
United lost 14 million on the deal and a [Poor language removed] load of games carrying him, instead of the manager facing reality, or admitting he was wrong.
Chelsea lost 12 million and less games as they at least recognised that he was a bust quicker (although not as quick as virtually every footy fan in the country who had been watching Veron play).
Or how about El Hadji Diouf. Liverpool buy him for 12 million pounds and he causes dressing room problems, problems with the board, a [Poor language removed] load of animosity with Celtic fans and brings shame on the club- finally selling to Bolton (probably for about 4) for a loss of 8.
Kroldrup was small small potatoes and if it had worked, he'd be another lescott. It didn't and Moyes proved he was a good manager by immediately reacting to the situation and getting rid.
Who writes these [Poor language removed] lists, dickheads.
