Out of interest - does anyone know who else we were looking at when Gus was appointed ?

Jim Gannon & Steve Cotterill were amongst the names mentioned at the time iirc.
Steve Coppell was approached and turned us down. It was then that Bloom turned to Gus wasn't it?
After that Coppell went on to have his disastrous short lived stay at Bristol City walking out on them on the eve of the season. Image how popular he would have been if he had done that to us..

I don't know the exact figures, but I do know the general figures and it currently looks now (with Murrays form) as if we got a very bad deal. However I will give some leeway... CMS could have come good and been prolific and it's all well and good me saying "we should have kept Murray" with the benefit of hindsight but at the time it was a harder decision for Gus I'm sure
People have sources and Harley was rated pretty highly when he arrived so would have got a better contract.

Coppell would have been good. Still more than happy with the choice of Gus though.

Pretty certain Adkins was in the frame as well.

Imagine if he'd have been in charge of us over the last 3 years:
"We'll take the positives from this match, draw a line under it and move on to the next one" - every week

How many goals did Murray score last season?

It was very obvious to a lot of people at the time that it was a mistake letting Murray go.
f*** benefit of hindsight.

Murray scored around 6 goals from open play so far big deal.

And it's all gone quiet..
Dedicated to the Selhurst Eight.
Anyone who watched Murray when he was with us will know that GOALS alone are about 10% of his all round game. He's a superb all round player.

Have to say this. Palace fans say they have never seen someone of his ilk who can lay it off with his chest and when the ball comes to him it sticks to him. This is something that CANNOT be said of CMS as it bounces off his shins for the umpteenth time.
Although I concede they are different types of strikers so its not really fair to copare.
But that's the thing. It was silly to sell Murray to get CMS. You need both. Or both types of player, at least. For me it's comfortably Gus's biggest error since taking over.
