Saint Domingo
Player Valuation: £90m
Nah I've said this before but that team finished 7th the season before and 8th the season after. It just wasn't a side that was going to go down. Obviously nothing's impossible, but realistically we just had a run of poor form that put us in a bad position which we very quickly got out of. It's not really comparable to this side which has, to some extent, been battling relegation for 4 consecutive seasons. To put it into perspective, we'd already won more home games at the point Allardyce took over in November than we have so far this season, and it's February tomorrow.
Regardless of the difference in opinion on the trajectory of that team, the point is we didn’t gamble then, we shouldn’t now, this team needs signings.
