In all fairness, DO'L's first season was pretty good. Not quite as good as 95/96, 96/97 or 08/09 but it was certainly an above average season.

That was Gregory. I think Dolly brought in Laursen and Bouma. Signings were probably his strongest point. Everything else he did was shite.

Post by: PaulWinch again on May 20, 2013, 03:24:39 PM: Milner on loan as well.

Post by: jeowje on May 20, 2013, 03:44:53 PM: Solano reminds me of Nzog in many ways- probably the Newcastle connection. Come to think of it, could imagine him buggering back there aswell.

Post by: eamonn on May 20, 2013, 04:02:40 PM: Remembering getting a text during one of my last classes of secondary school with this news and being fairly chuffed we'd got him.
I wonder if he still harbours ambitions to manage at a decent level again. Long way back even if he's not that old.
