I assume that is why we were targeting Remy (before we became a UEFA cup team and lost our £40m). He would have been competition for Lennon and back-up forward.
Because some of us remember Gerry Francis - the Moyes of his day.
What? You mean Gerry Francis assembled a decent squad (without too much money to spend). Played some decent football, and attained CL football. And then, year after year, watched the squad he had assembled being ruthlessly asset stripped, with no compensatory financial input to replace the outgoings. This usually had a negative impact on their start of season, and yet, year-after-year, managed via team-spirit and work-rate to finish the season with one of the best recordds in the division and attain a very good league position.
Sorry, but that just does not sound like Gerry Francis at QPR at all.
