What's that got to do with conceding 7 years later? | | | |

Plenty of people said it wasn't enough as I recall , more said it was probably decent enough for a player at that stage of his contract with fairly serious injury worries.
We should never have sold Parkes tbh, today would never have happened if we'd kept him. | | | |

I still blame Thompson for not investing in the 92/93 side , We only needed a decent central midfielder and another striker and we could of challenged for the title | | | |

it's means we would of had a chance of going up a big farming chance rather that a transfer ban, fine and what I I just watched ...thays what it has to do with. | | | |

er... mate. Let me put your mind at ease. We would not have gone up that season even if Charlie had scored another 20 from Jan-May (which he wouldn't). |  |

Dreamland - he was out of contract in 6 months time - never going to get enough money for him to avoid FFP - sorry that's just ridiculous! | | | |

incorrect not talking about FFP saying if we went shit on bust on him and lost the 4 million that hasn't helped us at all things may have been different! | | | |

with 20 goals from him we would be closser than will ever be again for another 15 years; something to think about when we are playing Wycombe next year. | | | |

If we didn't go up that season, he'd have left for nothing.
In fact if we'd gone up he'd have gone for nothing anyway. | | | |

If we had gone up he would have gone for nothing; erm would you not take that now! instead of certain league 12 | | | |

Yeah and when we didn't go up and he left for nothing in the summer you'd have had the usual suspects saying we should have taken the £4m in January  |  |

I think we should have kept him, he would have scored 43 goals in the second half of the season which would have won us the league. We would then have persuaded him to sign on for another four years and brought in Harry Kane to partner him. We'd be in the Champions League by now.
I blame Freeman. |  | | |

There have been so many things that you could point to over years and years and years. This club has been mismanaged for decades. The only time we were really swimming against the tide was the Warnock promotion year. Unfortunately, having waited so long, we were then afflicted with owners too stupid to take advantage. | |

Since leaving us, he's started 30 games in all competitions, and it's not because Southampton have a squad packed with world class strikers. He's come to define injury-prone. Who knows? Maybe he'd have never had any problems had he stayed with us. Maybe he wouldn't. But looking at what's gone on with his career since leaving, I don't think it's a disaster he left. | | | |

Can't remember exactly details of FFP, but given the fine might it have been an extra 8m fine if we hadn't taken the money? |  | | |

Exactly - Austin wanted to leave so we either took the 4 m or he walked for nothing at the end of that season |  |

We went up ….twice and are still in a mess
Or would it have been 3rd time lucky or perhaps St Charlie could have become the first player/chairman/owner!  | | | |

Nah, Charlie had pretty much checked out by that point (was starting to get into loads of barneys with fans IIRC) so we would have had a disinterested player leave for free 6 months later. So things would actually be worse now |  | | |
