But the money is the point. RK got loads of dosh and bought 4 no.10's. DM had to sell to buy and usually did a top job gradually improving the team. Yes it was often rubbish but we all understood what working for Billy Liar and a small net spend involved. DM was pragmatic, realistic, boring, limited - all of that but the club was getting better.
RK has so far blown the chance of the century. Not since Harry Catterick and Chairman Moores has a manager had a chance to plan a team with lots of available dosh. And Catterick bought well, usually. Think about the weaknesses we have and that RK did not address?
As for RK's non-risk free approach, I would call it fear. Two holding midfielders!! no wingers!! We had to pile on the goals against them, give the team a boost and kick-start the season. No ambition is not a risk-free approach.
We have been beaten at home defore in the Cup by Walsall and Fulham , so its not the end of the world but it looks like another year down the drain, more dreams dashed...
