Then self sufficiency kicked in, trying to run a football club against all the rules of nature. Football at the top level is all about money, and money spent wusely. Have a look around, the results are very poor.He should never have done a u-turn.
It's was always going to end in tears
Anyone ember Bruce stating it was like shopping in Harrods?
All went the same way in the end.
Why didn't you fuck off on 1 September then Dick? Why say the squad was now good enough when the window closed? Seems like as soon as you were out of your depth in the Premier League you threw in the towel. No way is this 'poundland' squad a three points from eight played squad.
Why are you unhappy with us trying to be self sufficient?It's no more than some of us (including ex managers) have been saying for a long time. There are others on here who have defended Short to the hilt, now we all know who was right. I take no satisfaction from thar

There we go, straight from the horses mouth. Ellis is indefensible with regards to transfer policy IMO and is ultimately responsible for our shite team.
So we should be operating in the same market as Spurs, Man Utd, Man City and Chelsea? What a load of bollocks.
Easiest gig in the world " It looks like I made an arse of it, but if we had quality players I could have done better"seen this a long time ago, hardly a shock he's said this
Not unhappy about it, I was disappointed at the timing. We had, at the time it was announced, already dug a hole for ourselves with having too many loans. The first team just wasn't ready, then the better players started to leave and we needed just too many to be funded on the resources available, hence too much quantity and little quality.Why are you unhappy with us trying to be self sufficient?
Aye I like him as well but he did state when he returned it had nothing to do with money for players which seems strange considering what is being said now. The problem is too many people involved and hard to know what has gone on.Don t want to slag Dick off but there s a lot of truth in that. He also said the exact amount of money Short promised him was never discussed. A bit naive to come back and expect to spend mega bucks. Surely Ellis and him would chew the fat over our FFP situation and nail down how much he would need to spend to get us up to comfortable in the league.
I don't think things are always so simple but not having the foundations in place in a lot of areas will have affected him a lot (including the fact he was meant to have retired)Dick knew the situation when he returned re cash available. To suggest otherwise is naive.
He just wasn't up for it. He couldn't coach, motivate or change tactics once his second-in-command left.
