Interesting to read Keegan’s take on their falling out. TLDR he says the more cautious approach of Bernstein towards transfers would essentially lead to signing lesser players and battling relegation again down the road - and this did come to pass shortly after he left.
I always blamed Pearce for subsequent problems, whereas Keegan makes the case it was cutting corners in the transfer market towards the end of his time.
I come down on Bernstein’s side because of the financial situation at the time, but interesting to hear the other side of the story.
