Fair points. Yes Adamson should join that group. However, Allan Clarke spent a million on Peter Barnes and BMD spent a million on Luke Murphy. Ok a million in 1979 will have been worth a lot more than million in 2013, however I would argue that both signings were similar I.e. Ineffective. Peter Barnes did have talent though and I did enjoy watching him play. His performance against Portsmouth was the best individual performance I've ever seen. Luke Murphy on the other hand is a journeyman at best.
Both signings massively contributed to the manager getting the sack. I still think El Tel is the worse manager we ever had. He was a joke and I think he is one of the most overrated managers ever.
