The late departure of Georginio Rutter brought back an unpleasant memory of Max Gradel being sold once the 2011/12 season was already underway. His replacement? Danny Pugh on loan. Cheers, Ken.

He should probably have resigned on principle. By the time January came around it was Jony Howson’s turn to leave. His replacement? Not sure… perhaps Neil Warnock could fix this whole thing? He could not.
