Worthington with Nolan Neilson with Atherton Pearson with Andy Pearce Viv Anderson with Simon Coleman Harkes with Sinton Warhurst with Whittingham Palmer with Ingesson Yet people still hail him as some managerial genius when I’m reality he rode Big Ron’s team for a couple of years until running out of ideas Ian Taylor was brought in to replace Carlton. He was the great "lost" player of the nineties for me. Went on to have a stellar career with Villa. Sinton was an error, but it didn't feel like it at the time. In hindsight we could've got Trevor Sinclair for a quarter of the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earlsfieldowl Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Pearce was classic mid/late Francis signing - replacing good players with lesser ones weakening the side. ..as for Sinton, got the curse and it just never properly worked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
