Didn’t really work did it?We didn’t go up
Surely could only be regarded as working if we’d gone up, with the 2 point reduction.In reality we put 2 points less pressure on the 2 teams that did, in the run in.
Maybe you’ve got a lower bar on the definition of a masterstroke.If you have good luck mate, enjoy your celebrations.I’m bored with it now.
I think you and
Nick Jansky are talking about 2 different gambles.
Both gambles paid off.
The first one, we held onto Berge and Ndiaye instead of cashing in = Promoted.
The 2nd gamble was to trade a -2pts deduction for 3 transfer window embargo.
Just because we didn't go up doesn't mean that gamble hasn't paid off.
2pts was never going to affect Sheffield United.
A 3 transfer window embargo would have.
If you look at the pigs - no transfer fees allowed. No wages over £7K. No loan fees allowed.
If we had that imposed on us last season instead of the 2pts, then there's no Cooper, no Burrows, no O'Hare, no Moore, no Rak-Sakyi, no Cannon... Do I need to go on ?
With an embargo and losing 15 (??) players on frees last summer, there's a big chance we'd have been relegated
