Perhaps we can defray some of the costs by loaning them out to Coventry?

The best one has to be the contract given to Sorondo, although to be fair to Dowie I think that was agreed before he arrived.

Chris_from_Sidcup

Sorondo had nothing to do with Dowie (although he had him at Palace so might have been consulted).
Cory gibbs had nothing to do with Dowie either which was a shocker for a bloke that had been out injured most of the previous season.
Fortune was a bad move.
Sam i think has promise and will hopefully show that next season.
Walton is promising and was only 500k i think so we'll get our money back on him anyway. Althoug hi think he'll do well next season if he calms it down.

Surely the board are culpable for that more than anyone. they must have agreed them

what about the signing of iain dowie,andrew mills and les reeds second contract?

Captain Haddock

What was Les Reed's second contract?

There was no change in his contract following the departure of Dowie,if that's what you mean (per Richard Murray at the fan's forum)

I thought we had a policy of 2 years max with an option for 2 more.. anyway particularly as Dowies was Head Coach and not Manager, I can't see him being culpable if these statements are true.

The board chose Dowie, Dowie chose the players, Mills was the leg-man, Reed was on the same contract as when he first came.

It was a royal one!

Exactly, I voted for ST. Three times ))

I voted for Vince The Mince, although as the fella appears to have disappeared from public life maybe it's just as well he never won.

At least Henry stands there to be shot at - and what a tempting target sometimes, eh?!

I bumped into Vince near Le Stade de Gerland in Lyon supporting the New Zealand rugby team!
