I just assumed someone would point out the year we made a deadline day signing and it turned out to be Simon Dawkins

There is a name I'd completely forgotten

I put money on us to go down that season. We didn't. Thought our business in summer 2015 was far more positive. Shows what I know.

It feels worse because of the hyped expectation and talk going in. Even the local press were reporting a £150m budget. We started well and then appeared to simply give up. And now are buying Bednarek.

We were about to spend 30m on Sarr last week, so there is obviously still money there.

We ended last season awfully and started this season awful and have only got points against very poor teams

I can’t believe this is how SG expected to play out - as he’s main success at rangers was based on being new players in and we still have much of the same spine as we did 2 years ago, and have other players that have done a job for us now in a bomb squad with no interest in them and a number of expensive signings seemingly incompatible in the same team

I think we have made a right royal mess of it since Grealish went and I’m
Just holding on to the hope that either Gerrard and Critchley click and find a way of making it work or we replace him with someone who knows what there doing otherwise we’ll be spending the season looking over our shoulder and what seem achievable like being competitive with clubs like Spurs and Arsenal now seems completely unrealistic

Really disappointing how yet again we seem to be about to get our shit together only to mess it up

There's money there but the prices are nuts. Perhaps we're the only ones left in the market who have some sort of sense, not being prepared to pay £50/60m for decent but not amazing signings.

Shudders. I'd blocked that from my memory.

He was a real man though. Not one of those fake ones you see.
