To be fair it's not his fault how much we paid for him.
If this forum represents a fair cross section of our fanbase then you could say “the fans” must take a large part of the blame.
Remember when we were chasing Brewster.
So many of our fans accused us of lacking ambition by dragging it out trying to get him at 20 million.
I saw a few comments….“just pay their asking price of 25 million because he’ll be worth over 50 million in a few years, so we’ve doubled our money”
Also saw comments “it doesn’t matter what his wage demands are, stop being tight and just pay it”
I even saw several comments like “anyone who thinks we’ll sign Brewster is deluded. We’ve no intention of signing him because we lack ambition”
”It’s just to make it look like we’re trying for the top talent, but he’ll go elsewhere (like Villa) when they offer 25 million”.
At the time I said it was a big gamble and no way is he worth 20 million yet.
Many insisted that for the 1st time ever we need to be ambitious and gamble, just shows how wrong many Blades can be.
Being ambitious just for the sake of it, is a fools policy, just look at S6 with Chansiri.
