"He's not any full back... he's John Brayford"
tbh i thought it was a good deal at the time... he genuinely looked upper champ/PL sometimes and carried the team... i thought he was a future captain and would take us to the promised land, and to some respect i wish i was right, he captured every Blade’s heart he did!£1.5m for a full back in div 3 was ridiculous

It wasn’t the deal, as such, that was bad. It was the fact that we hadn’t got another pot to piss in.tbh i thought it was a good deal at the time... he genuinely looked upper champ/PL sometimes and carried the team... i thought he was a future captain and would take us to the promised land, and to some respect i wish i was right, he captured every Blade’s heart he did!
Bloody ditto.Bloody missus wants to go to b&q for plants... I'll finish this later on.. Great stuff yet again..
Thanks lads..
Nowt against JB, and I enjoyed watching him as much as everyone else but the bottom line was that we needed much more than "just a right back" for such a large part of our budget.tbh i thought it was a good deal at the time... he genuinely looked upper champ/PL sometimes and carried the team... i thought he was a future captain and would take us to the promised land, and to some respect i wish i was right, he captured every Blade’s heart he did!

No team ever won anything just because they had the best right back in the league.
I said so at the time, and history has proved, that our priorities were all wrong.
yeah fair play! at the time i just thought it was gonna be a good deal, buy for 1.5m get a 4m player kind of deal, and im sure KM thought the same, but yeah youre right we shouldve had a priorities on spreading our fundsNowt against JB, and I enjoyed watching him as much as everyone else but the bottom line was that we needed much more than "just a right back" for such a large part of our budget.

You’re fault for trying to share the same missus!!Bloody ditto.

We signed Alcock i summer 2014, Kieron Freeman on 23rd Jan 2015 and then Brayford 24th Jan 2015...The day after ! Proper champ manager splurge on right backs.Seeing as we had loads of full backs at the time and no central defenders it would have been better spending that dough on at least two centre halves instead!

This. A couple more signings of that quality and we’d have been very hard to stop. But whoever sanctioned the deal can’t have known it was the entire budget. The decision must have been the bastardised outcome of another Kev vs Princey sideshow.
Went to a sponsors evening, McCabe told me directly the same thing and didn’t seem happy about it.I had a 40 minute phone call with Martin Green* and on it he basically said the Brayford singing was Phipps wanting to do something for the fans.
*I’d been to some dinner at the club where they had a comedian in who started making rape jokes. I emailed the club and complained the next day and Green phoned me up for some reason to talk about it. He was incredibly patronising.

Well done Hal and Nick excellent interview. I'm surprised he was cool about the foul he received against the dirtiest team I've seen at Bramall Lane in memory (and that includes Wimbledon and Millwall) and pretty much screwed up any chance of promotion that year. I was also hoping for any clue as to why Clough was sacked as McCabe said it was not for 'football reasons'. He came across better than I could have hoped for.
