We’ve had some interesting list decision choices and when you add them together it’s damming reading:
Henderson - delisted, lose him for nothing, Mackay preferred
Recruitment of Hampton and Menzel
Thommo- retained for additional year, wasted
Lyons- pushed out, receive pick in the 40s
Gibbs- wouldn’t do the deal and then we did for the cost we called irresponsible the year before
Long term deals to older players - Betts, Jenkins, Tex, Sloane, Lynch, Gibbs
Otten- retained for year too long
Passing and going short on the list- missed out on players
Now I’m not saying I got all these right at the time, but that’s not the point. We have highly paid experts to make the right call.
But collectively that’s an ordinary effort
