The season we got relegated because we didn’t have enough midfielders! 3 points!!Didn't we effectively try the same with Mendieta to try and "encourage" him to move elsewhere?
Disgrace how we treated Mendieta for which Southgate has since apologised to him. Used to go to reserves then and he stoop out like a beacon game after game but never got in first team even tough we were struggling.The season we got relegated because we didn’t have enough midfielders! 3 points!!
pretty sure Mendieta could have made the difference.
another financial decision rather than a footballing one perhaps.
