He couldn't even cement a regular first team place in the championship.

Do we actually know what happened behind the scenes? Are you saying Westwood retaliated to SISU because he wanted to stay here by probably tripling his wages and moving to the Premier League? I bet he was really hard done by....
So players leave because they don't get deals to their requirements, should we break the bank to pay players? Didn't that get us into a lot of mess in the first place?
Yes much to many people annoyance
I have a feeling those people were right

Agreed, except it was Ranson's plan not SISU's.Sorry mate but I genuinely believe that was the case. It cannot be denied that they invested in the squad early on in their tenure.

Surely people agree we didn't give enough of a go of getting promoted? Seems to me that we spunked all our cash with Coleman then gave up.
Personally I wish the plan had been done in reverse to how it has been, i.e. strip the squad back early on and attempt to get a footing in the Ricoh and then later on look to try and get promoted on a more sustainable footing.
What we don't know is how many players chose to run down their contracts as they perceived their to be a lack of ambition from the owners. The tipping point was probably when they sold Dann and Fox. If I was a player then that would have signaled to me that any aim of investing, and by investing I don't mean going crazy, to get into the prem was gone. Most of those players were fairly young when they left and if they thought we were ambitious may well have been persuaded to stay for a couple of years knowing it wasn't their last chance at a big contract.
