Yep. I would go with that. The club management strategy (if you can call it that) as described here makes it the worst that I can remember. It's easy to pick players that didn't work out for whatever reason, but for the club to be so poorly clued up on what a lot of us new smacks of incompetence.If I had to I’d say the worst signing was Eastwood.
There were rumours about his fitness and attitude before he joined. The idiot Coleman said he wanted him on loan first and McCarthy refused knowing he’d lose the sale.
Coleman and the even bigger idiot Ranson then bought him with a 5 year contract basically blowing a large chunk of the budget on a known dud
The Ricoh?
Eddie Johnson scored the winner once against Sunderland therefore gains immunity from this.Scott shearer
Kevin Kyle
Eddie Johnson
Keith O’Neil
Coleman was very poor for us - very little homework/planning (except if there was a bar nearby). Reid - just as bad - missed a game due to a family party.Yep. I would go with that.

I’d disagree on this. Three nil down, away from home and pissing down with rain and on he’d come. At least you’d get some entertainment watching him try to end someone’s seasonJohn Gayle
End of discussion...
...Mic Drop..
Cobi Jones. Mainly because I purchased the ‘Cobi’s in town’ t-shirt from the club shop. Probably imagined at the time it was cool to be wearing something with an American type slogan. Wore it once to much hilarity from my mates. Never seen again. A bit like Cobi’s career with us.
Don't forget Mqwank. Those 3 and 400quid for Wilson!Getting Allsop and Coulibaly from Bournemouth in the Wilson deal. Two atrocious players in one swoop.
More random disasters:
Terry Butcher. £400K. 6 games. Paid highly as both a player and manager. Destroyed the team.
Pressley (who I have respect for as a manager) was a total disaster for us as a player.
Davie Bowman. Previously mentioned. Lots of hype. Very poor on the pitch.
Isaias. Not sure if we paid a fee. I liked him. Never seemed to be given a chance.
Zuniga - I thought was quite good.Ysrael Zuniga
Yakubu
Onandi Lowe
Come on now, he kept several drinking establishments in Leamington going for the time he was here. Those poor landlords were unable to holiday in St Lucia when he retired.Keith ONeil was one of our top earners
.He was always injured, 7 appearances in 2 years,he even was out injured once after breaking his hand on a fairground punch bag.
Awesome on championship manager though !Isaias. Not sure if we paid a fee. I liked him. Never seemed to be given a chance.
I remember seeing him playing for us at Wycombe in he 90s, think that's where they got the idea for Akinfenwa fromI’d disagree on this. Three nil down, away from home and pissing down with rain and on he’d come. At least you’d get some entertainment watching him try to end someone’s season
Sure I remember him coming on as a sub against Forest after a long while out. He then went off again injured a short while after!
Julian Darby . He was asleep for much of any game.
