Romario was def one ( look at where he went instead)The alleged list of players we were looking to bring in was mouthwatering! Can’t remember them but recall at the time if we had brought some of them in we were in a great position to kick on.
Why didn't we just make a similar set of transfers when we went up the following year? We ended up buying Madison and Dean gordon. All this Roberto Carlos, batistuta, Cafu stuff is nonsense.The alleged list of players we were looking to bring in was mouthwatering!

Sadly by then we had missed our big chance due to everybody feeling the need to be more cautious. Banks and institutions had been queuing up to finance us as the 'new' boys taking the football World by storm. Sadly that feeling evaporated with the relegation and we were no longer a big news story in world football. Madison was bought in the championship.Why didn't we just make a similar set of transfers when we went up the following year? We ended up buying Madison and Dean gordon.

You're right we bought Brian Deane cooper and pallister. Rather than Cafu Roberto Carlos and batitusta.Sadly by then we had missed our big chance due to everybody feeling the need to be more cautious.

Don't forget Nadal, the final piece in the jigsawYou're right we bought Brian Deane cooper and pallister. Rather than Cafu Roberto Carlos and batitusta.
I just don't buy the fact that people were spooked out of loaning us money by us being relegated, but would not have been spooked by us escaping relegation by the skin of our teeth, or by our form since buying juninho which had been mediocre at best.
Yes, and apparently we scared the more timid members of the FA and crowd who 'thought' we might be chanting "Ziek Heil" along with the Hitler-esque salute! And the energetic booing of the FA officials as they did the pre-match shaking of hands. Hardly recompense for the situation but a small demonstration of our disgust.Oh boy did the FA and Kelly get some stick from us boys at the FA Cup final.
