Those players actually played for Dowie, they had no respect for Reed whatsoever. (Alluded to by at least Bent and Holland) His period is so similar to Fraye's it's ridiculous. Awful decision, same outcome ten years on. Murray is still in the directors box.
That relegation was even more needless than this one, bearing in mind the funds we started with and what was at stake from relegation from the Premier League.
Ironically they then got rid of Andrew Mills and reverted to a similar management set up to when Curbishley was here!
Certainly Amdy Faye played for Dowie, then nobody else afterwards!
The other mystery is why Kevin Cash pulled the plug.
While TJ and MS had overspent, the success on the field showed the club was moving forward nicely. Another year of his money could have seen us as genuine promotion candidates to the PL
I think it was because TJ spotted an opportunity and Cash was annoyed he was being asked for more ,,,,er,,,,,cash. personally, I think it cost him a lot of ...er....cash!
Promotion to the PL would have earned Cash a lot of....cash!
