Yes but for that money they got the RIGHT players to get them promoted. Young, Hungry, fit, Battlers. Compare that to our transfer policy!!!!

Correction, they got just one player for that amount.

Good post. I'd *MUCH* rather be a Burnley or a Derby than a QPR or Forest[/B]

Derby got where they are by sacking their manager at the end of September and getting in the right man. If we are to be ruthless on costs, we must also be ruthless on finding a manager who can make the best of those restricted resources. To do one without the other risks midtable drift

They signed 13 players last season.

Dyche didn't, his predecessor did, which is why I said 18 months.

I'd argue it was the players that Maclaren was allowed to bring in on loan that gave him the ability to get them promoted. No manager would have done better than Garcia with the utter dross (bar Stephens) that arrived at our club to replace our departures.

Dyche joined them in Oct 2012 so was responsible for all last seasons signings.

The players would have signed in August before he arrived or were free.

Yes so last Augusts signings were with him in charge?

How much did he spend then?

I dont know, it's irrelevant, every player costs whether its a signing on fee or transfer and then wages. It's the type of player they signed compared to the dross we brought in that is the point.

So why debate how much Dyche has actually spent?

Because my original comment was the amount of spend is irrelavent its the type of player you bring in. Free or not.
