That’s because most people use both pros and cons to analyse a scenario, and for all the arguments behind lack of defensive recruits - he’s pretty much turned the Rao’s and Coyles mess around to a position where playoffs look like the expectation!

Once that stopped it was down hill all the way. I've remembered - Jack Hixon was the name of Burnley's north east scout. He also found Shearer too - recommended him to Southampton. All those great players - and very few played for Newcastle! Burnley tribute to Hixon here http://www.clarets-mad.co.uk/feat/edb4/a_farewell_to_jack_hixon_478161/index.shtml Rovers had a NE scout too - but we ended up with Dick Mulvaney and Billy Wilson, though Billy to be fair was a good player Edited July 10, 2019 by jim mk2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not theorising there's anything dodgy just assuming that's why he's always linked especially by Nixon. Think they use Rovers to publicise their man quite a bit.

For what it's worth the Primeira league is pretty damn awful too bar the top few teams and diving is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though we'll probably sell them both to bolster the midfield before long. So you agree ... Spending 5m on a striker that wouldn't really improve us isn't at good return ???
