In terms of "value for money" this has got to be the worst in our entire history. Just think what we could do with that much cash right now. |

Still not convinced we werent the victims of some kind of stitch up with Diakhaby...like the guy we got was actually the twin brother of the player who'd just played 30 times for Monaco, including in the champions league , alongside a host of stella names...and the 'real' Diakhaby was lounging around on a beach somewhere in the sun enjoying his retirement. |

Winston Bogarde at Chelsea, the new manager didn't want him but he refused to leave as he was on such a good contract, only played 9 games in 4 years.

I'm sure I read somewhere that a fan had compared Diakhaby's playing style to a dog chasing a balloon. 😆
And we paid millions for him. 😠

Jean-Kevin Augustin will take some beating. Leeds ordered to pay something like £20m for him and he doesn't even play for them 🤣

I wonder if there’s a clause in footballers contracts that can terminate without severance if you fail a drugs test? There won’t be, but there should be… yes usually gross misconduct, or bringing the club into disrepute. |

Gordon Tucker, he set the benchmark as far as Town we’re concerned. In addition to being shite at football, didn’t GT also fail spectacularly in another line of business? |

There won’t be, but there should be… yes usually gross misconduct, or bringing the club into disrepute. We sacked Craig Whittington for smoking a spliff IIRC. I suspect we might have "supported him to overcome his problem" if he hadn't been so mind blowingly crap. I recall the club being at pains to say that the drugs were not performance enhancing. Anyone who had watched him play would have assumed that anyway. |

There won’t be, but there should be… Don't they just include it as gross misconduct? I'm sure that's what they said about Craig Whitington when he got caught being a pothead? Edit: Tinpot & Alex beat me to it |

Having seen him play, the club owes whoever stitched him up a debt of gratitude. He made Jon Newby look like Lewandowski by comparison. |

Warnock got Scarborough into the football league in 1987, there's no way Craig Whitington had been playing that long when we signed him in summer 1994. |

For me, it has to be the permanent signing of Terence Kongolo.
We paid something like £18m for him and he did very little.
He was decent enough in his loan spell but once signed permanently, he was part of a team that lost 28 out of 38 matches, and then when we went down, he was poor in the Championship and replaced by Jaden Brown, I think?
Purely for the amount of money we spent, and what we got out of it. It's Kongolo for me.

Not the worst but a major disappointment.
Mark Barham from Norwich Citu.
Exciting winger and scored some good goals for the canaries.
Came to Town and he was utter shite.
Maybe he was supping McDonald's Corvonia.😀😀

Maybe he was supping McDonald's Corvonia.😀😀 My hopes were high for Barham as he had appeared for England. He was bitten on the leg by a dog, I think on Leeds Road, whilst training - he wasn’t the same player after that (this isn’t a lame  joke, the story of the bite appeared in The Examiner) |

Nigel Callaghan? I seem to remember him being the pitch at Odsal in a Town shirt, but don’t remember him doing owt. Dames goes for Gallagher(first name forgotten), former Scottish international, playing , allegedly, away atNorthamptononce, if I remember correctly.
