Who at the club would have been involved in sanctioning the deals for Ade, Bridge, Bellamy and RSC? Clearly Hughes wanted the players, but who else sanctioned fees of £25M, £12M, £14M and £19M respectively (£70M total) and contracts of allegedly £160k, £90k, £90k and £80k per week, a further £22M per year? In each case I think the contract awarded was 4 or 5 years?
I don't suppose that Messrs Cook and Khaldoon know an awful lot about the relative strengths and weaknesses of particular players, but surely this is a key part of the role and responsibility of Brian Marwood? If so he really should hang his head in shame at the amount of wasted money he has helped subject the club to - if you are going to sanction deals that big Brian surely you should make sure that their track record in terms of ability, temperament and fitness makes it worth such huge financial commitments? None of these 4 players tick all 3 boxes.
Marwood seems like a nice enough bloke, but is he good enough at his job?
